Kenny Perry joined Tiger Woods as the only three-time winner of the Memorial on Sunday, taking a big step toward joining the No. 1 player in the world on the Ryder Cup team this fall. With every contender in full retreat on the back nine, the 47-year-old Perry surged ahead with pars and one timely [...]
Knee surgery prevented Tiger Woods from attempting to defend his Wachovia Championship title. Anthony Kim didn’t disappoint fans at Quail Hollow Club looking for Tiger-like brilliance. In a near flawless performance Sunday, the 22-year-old Kim became the youngest winner on the PGA Tour in six years. Following monster drives with flagstick-hitting approach shots and steady [...]
Adam Scott felt he needed to make a statement by winning Sunday. He did, though, not quite the way he wanted to do it. After blowing the three-stroke lead he carried into the final round, Scott made a nine-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to force a playoff, then made a 48-footer playing it again [...]
Adam Scott figured there was no point wasting his good play to take money from his mates in Australia. So he cut short his trip home to get back on the PGA Tour. “I came here to get in contention and win a golf tournament,” said Scott, who stayed home only a week after the [...]
Adam Scott birdied his first four holes and shot a second-round 67 to take the lead at 5-under 135 halfway through the Byron Nelson Championship on Friday. That was good for a one-stroke lead over fellow Australians Mark Hensby (67) and Mathew Goggin (69), and Scott McCarron (66), who missed all of last season recovering [...]
Jesper Parnevik has been so inconsistent that he’s willing to take advice from a golfing buddy he refers to as a “complete hack monster.” Something worked Thursday, with Parnevik overcoming gusty wind and a redesigned course to shoot a 2-under 68 in the first round of the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. That left him only [...]
Boo Weekley’s first Verizon Heritage victory was a surprising relief. His latest? A joyful celebration that was a year overdue. Weekley successfully defended his title Sunday at Harbour Town, closing with an even-par 71 for a three-stroke victory over Anthony Kim (71) and Aaron Baddeley (71). Last year, Weekley needed chips-ins on the 71st and [...]
Trevor Immelman has never felt better. Four months after he had a tumor removed from his back, Immelman handled the wind and pressure of Augusta National far better than anyone chasing him Sunday to win the Masters, the first South African in a green jacket in 30 years. Immelman held it together around Amen Corner [...]
Trevor Immelman watched one last shot turn out better than he expected Saturday in the Masters, each one keeping him atop the leaderboard and Tiger Woods farther behind. Immelman was headed for double bogey or worse on the 15th hole until his ball somehow stopped on a steep slope toward the pond, allowing him to [...]
Anyone who thought this Masters might be the start of something grand must have struggled to stay awake Friday while watching another performance from Tiger Woods that hardly matched the hype. And even after he scrambled from the opposite fairway for one last par, expectations shifted. The Grand Slam that Woods said was “easily within [...]
