Billy Horschel jumped out to an early scorching start with four birdies on the first five holes Sunday to quickly take the lead, one he would never relinquish. Horschel then added another four birdies and an eagle to his scorecard to shoot a final-round 63 and win the Corales Puntacana Championship for his eighth PGA Tour title. The 63 also matched a course record at the Corales course at Puntacana Resort in the Dominican Republic. Horschel, 37, followed 67-69 with 66-63 over the weekend to end...
Wire-to-wire winners are rare on the PGA Tour. So are golfers playing on sponsor’s exemptions who go on to win a title. Wesley Bryan then is particularly uncommon territory as he takes a one-shot lead entering Sunday’s final round of the Corales Puntacana Championship. The 34-year-old tied the tournament’s low 54-hole scoring (17-under 199), which
Historically, Harbour Town was a nice "come down" week after the Masters, for the players, for the fans, for the bettors. Sadly, those days are over in the new signature event world. We're not really complaining, though. Any time we can get a great field on a compelling golf course is a plus, and that's exactly what we have this week in the RBC Heritage on Hilton Head Island, which never disappoints.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Late last season, Scottie Scheffler was frustrated. The putts weren't going in, and he felt lost. He was leaving wins on the table. Something needed to change. The change he needed was a putting coach, Scheffler explained. Specifically, the renowned putting coach Phil Kenyon, who teaches a host of players on the PGA Tour. We've seen the results of that change. Kenyon flew to Texas late last year for a two-day session, and together the pair began making changes to his technique....
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Ludvig Aberg had to feel on top of the world as he made the turn on Sunday at the Masters. After draining a long birdie putt on No. 9, the 24-year-old (briefly) held the outright lead on a beautiful day at Augusta National as he walked to the 10th tee chomping on a delicious snack. But that's when disaster struck, literally, in the form of a patron's hand.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — It’s a fact that no player who has ever been victorious on the Nordic Golf League has won any of the first 87 Masters Tournaments. No surprise really. But that obscure statistic might be about to change. Yes, three formidable competitors in the shape of Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Max Homa will begin the final round Sunday at Augusta National with a three-, two- and one-stroke advantage, respectively, over Ludvig Aberg. But not much has proved to be beyond the...
AUGUSTA, Ga. — A golfer switching putters hardly merits a headline. Collin Morikawa did so countless times when he was younger. “College was a fun one,” the two-time major champion cracked. What is notable is when it’s done in the middle of a tournament. Even more curious? When it’s done in the middle of the Masters, and you’re now one stroke off the lead heading into the final round. Perhaps Morikawa’s switch from a TaylorMade Spider mallet to a TaylorMade TP Soto blade after the first round is...
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Bryson DeChambeau's 77-yard walk-off hole-out for birdie concluded another wild day at the Masters. And no one was more surprised than tournament leader Scottie Scheffler.

Awaiting the winner is not only the most sought after sportscoat in golf, but the chance to forever call yourself a major champion. It’s what certainly almost every player in the field has dreamt about—literally. And there are several interesting contenders hoping it’s there day. Final-round tee times won’t be posted until the conclusion of...
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Earlier this year, former U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson got into it with fans at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. That situation, and a number of others that occurred at TPC Scottsdale that week, led to much debate over if the WMPO atmosphere had officially gone too far. One couldn't help but escape the thought of "stuff like this would NEVER happen at Augusta National." Or would it?

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Patrons following Fred Couples the first two rounds and not aware of his current back situation had to be perplexed seeing a Masters champ struggling to hit an approach shot in the air. Couples has long been dealing with back issues, but this was particularly alarming. The 1992 Masters champ went as far as to call it 'embarrassing.' When you're aware of all Couples has gone through just to be able to tee it up and you hear him describe his play, however, his scores of 80 and 76...
