Ben Silverman has punched his ticket for the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills next week. The Thornhill, Ont. native earned his spot for the third men’s major of the season on Monday, taking co-medalist honours at the Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. final qualifying site with rounds of 67 and 70 during “Golf’s Longest Day”.
Teen Miles Russell, with Charlie Woods on his bag, was among those who endured "Golf's Longest Day" and qualified for next week's U.S. Open.
Miles Russell was among two 17-year-olds who earned a spot in the U.S. Open on Monday. Still to be determined was whether Russell brings his caddie from the 36-hole qualifier — the son of three-time champion Tiger Woods — to Shinnecock Hills next week.
The PGA Tour returns to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley this week for the RBC Canadian Open and TSN will have wall-to-wall coverage of the tournament beginning on Thursday morning.
Nelly Korda already had established herself as the best in women’s golf without argument. All she was lacking was the biggest championship on her calendar. The U.S. Women’s Open is what inspired her from the time she first played in it at age 14.
Nelly Korda won the 81st U.S. Women’s Open on Sunday for her second consecutive major victory, holding off Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez by one shot when her final 2 1/2-foot par putt curled perilously around the cup and finally dropped in.
J.T. Poston made a 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to salvage an even-par 72 and force a playoff with Ryan Gerard, and then won the Memorial on the second extra hole when Gerard missed a 6-foot par putt.
Nearly one year after his wife, Leah, died from a rare and highly aggressive sarcoma, Corey Pereira (Sacramento, California) is a winner on PGA TOUR Americas.
J.T. Poston built a 4-shot lead at the Memorial after running off three straight birdies Sunday morning for a 3-under 69 to complete the rain-delayed third round.
Tyrrell Hatton had two late birdies to hold off Jon Rahm and close with a 1-under 71, giving him a two-shot victory in LIV Golf Andalucia for his second title in the league.
Nelly Korda seized a share of the lead at the U.S. Women’s Open on Saturday with her second straight 4-under 67, ending with three consecutive birdies and finishing even with Sei Young Kim at 6-under 207.
J.T. Poston and Ryan Gerard were tied for the lead Saturday at the Memorial when a second round of bad weather arrived and wiped out the rest of the third round before it had time to take shape.
Opening-round co-leader Corey Pereira (Sacramento, California) holds a one-shot lead, with the second round suspended due to lightning at the Mexico Championship presented by Scotia Wealth Management.
J.T. Poston stepped onto the putting green Friday at the Memorial just in time to feel the first gust of wind, knowing a tough course was about to get even harder. Part of him was eager to see how a new golf ball to help with the wind was going to perform. It’s safe to say he was pleased.
Scottie Scheffler was 10 shots behind after two rounds at the Memorial, a tournament he has won the last two years. He felt like he could have shot 90.
Scottie Scheffler never thought two straight victories in the Memorial would be of any value when he began his bid for three in a row. It sure felt that way Thursday in a tough start that left him exasperated by the wind and six shots behind a four-way share of the lead.
Corey Pereira (Sacramento, California) and Brantley Scott (Dothan, Alabama) fired opening rounds of 8-under 63 to share the clubhouse lead at the Mexico Championship presented by Scotia Wealth Management.
Abbotsford, B.C.’s Nick Taylor fired an opening-round four-under 68 to vault himself into contention at this week’s Memorial Tournament from Muirfield Village on Thursday.
Nelly Korda fell just short of her first U.S. Women’s Open title a year ago, coming up second to Maja Stark in a finish that was painfully appropriate for her inexplicably winless calendar year.
The Memorial is one tournament McIlroy can’t seem to win, and it’s the one tournament Scheffler can’t seem to lose.
PGA TourCEO Brian Rolapp says substantial progress is being made on a revamped model that would restore 36-hole cuts to all the top tournaments.
