Rory McIlroy is hopeful celebrating his 29th birthday (Friday) blowing out the candles with a 62 on day two of the Wells Fargo Championship. McIlroy, winner of the Charlotte event in 2010 and 2015, managed five birdies and dropped just two shots in an opening day three-under par 68 on the ‘feel good’ par-71 Quail Hollow course. McIlroy’s round matched a similar 68 he posted when last on the suburban Charlotte course but eight months on, the current World No. 7 is in a much better ...

We all know how badly Rory McIlroy wants to win the Masters but his remarks on the eve of the Wells Fargo Championship could sure ruffle the feathers of the likes of the USGA, the R & A and the PGA of America. Why? Because McIlroy, a winner of the U.S Open, the Open Championship and two victories in the PGA Championship, reckons the Masters is bigger than the other three Majors. McIlroy is yet to win the Masters, and the only Major he needs to capture to join the most exclusive club in the history ...

Rory McIlroy has revealed the bizarre pressure he found himself facing just moments ahead of teeing-off on the final day of last month’s Masters at Augusta National. McIlroy went into the closing 18 holes of the year’s first Major Championship showdown having posted a gutsy third round 65 to trail just three shots behind eventual champion, Patrick Reed. The Northern Irishman had put himself in a position for a first occasion since he was leading into the last day of the 2011 Masters to ...

Double Wells Fargo winning Rory McIlroy returns to Quail Hollow is clearly in a far better place when last on the course in suburban Charlotte, North Carolina. Aside from helping re-open the revamped Adare Manor course, McIlroy is returning to competition this week since his fifth placed finish last month at the Masters. He is also making his eighth appearance in the Wells Fargo and among just three of 14 PGA Tour counting victories McIlroy has won twice. It was eight years ago McIlroy brilliantly ...

Tiger Woods returns to competition this week at the Wells Fargo Championship making no excuses in not keeping more in contact with golf’s younger generation of stars. Woods joins now fellow Augusta National champion, Patrick Reed teeing-up both for a first occasion since last month’s Masters at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina. And while Reed’s been on a whirlwind few weeks donned in the famed green jacket, Woods put away his clubs for 10-days simply ‘chilling out’ with his two ...

Tiger Woods will climb aboard this week’s Wells Fargo Championship with new TaylorMade irons. “Phase 1 of irons development with @TaylorMadeGolf is complete,” said Woods in a tweet. “Looking forward to teeing it up this week!” Woods, and just as he had done for so many years with Nike, has been working with TaylorMade on the development, creation and refinement of a set of TaylorMade irons that meet his precise standards and preferences. Phase1′ marks Tiger’s ...

Tommy Fleetwood heads to this week’s Wells Fargo Championship buoyed after he and fellow Englishman Chris Paisley brilliantly shared fourth in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Fleetwood and Paisley combined in the team event to post a final round 69 for a 19-under par tally on the alligator-infested TPC Louisiana course. Fleetwood, and with his equal-best PGA Tour finish this year, moved closer to securing his PGA Tour card with the result while Paisley, who had been chosen by Fleetwood ...
