Augusta, GA … Rory McIlroy insists all the pressure over the final round of the Masters will be on the shoulders of American rival Patrick Reed. McIlroy grabbed an eighth hole eagle and four birdies, including a right fist pumping gem at the last, in a round of a seven-under par 65 to move within three shots of Reed who snatched two eagles, and within the space of three holes at 13 and 15, in a score of 67 to head to the fourth round at 14-under par. Reed is not only headed for his best Masters ...

Augusta, GA …. Former three-time Masters winner Tiger Woods made the cut at The Masters – but defending champion Sergio Garcia is heading home. The four-time champion entered the first Major of the season with so much promise but at one stage looked set to miss out on playing over the weekend.

Augusta, GA …. Rory McIlroy was an Augusta National portrait of patience finding his way to share the clubhouse lead with a no-frills 71 on day two of the Masters. It was also a determined and dogged four-time Major winner on a bright but very testing day on the Augusta National greens. McIlroy grabbed four birdies but also dropped three shots to move to four-under par and minutes before being joined in the stately Georgia clubhouse by Jordan Spieth, who fought back from a first hole double ...

Augusta,  GA  ……. Rory McIlroy produced a superb ‘grandstand’ end of his round managing to save par from some six rows back in shooting a 69 to lay a hopeful Masters winning foundation on day one at Augusta National. The effort in his 10th Masters handed McIlroy a then share of fourth place very late in the opening round of the year’s first Major. Former Masters champion, Jordan Spieth has shown immediately he will be a real force in producing a 66 to lead by two shots ...

Augusta, GA ….. Tiger Woods still has Masters winning history on his side after an adventurous 73 upon return in three years to Augusta National.

It has been three years since we’ve heard the Masters starter say:  “Fore please, Tiger Woods now driving”. Also, it was Woods 21st  introduction at the Masters and with patrons easily ...
