Still basking in the glow of his victory at the CJ Cup, Brooks Koepka is just getting used to his newfound status as the world’s top-ranked golfer.

Tyrrell Hatton’s bid for a hole-in-one at the par-3 fourth in Round 1 of the WGC-HSBC Champions was denied by the flagstick, keeping it a frustrating inch from an ace.

Tony Finau is often associated with power, but in Round 1 of the WGC-HSBC Champions it was his putting touch – and perhaps some good fortune – that helped him get near the lead. First there was this lengthy birdie effort at the par-4 11th, his second hole of the day. But that was child’s play compared […]

When Patrick Reed walked off the final green at Sheshan International Golf Club, he wasn’t surrounded by thousands of European fans singing in unison. There weren’t questions about team chemistry, or who knew what and when did they know it. Reed is back to letting his golf do the talking, and he seemingly prefers it […]

Koepka cruised to a four-shot victory last week at the CJ Cup in South Korea, a result that helped him supplant Dustin Johnson as world No. 1.
