Fox flew from New Zealand to Mexico […]

MEXICO CITY — To hear him tell it, Tiger Woods was undecided about his upcoming schedule until an hour before his first-round tee time Thursday in Mexico.

Kentucky High School Athletic Association commissioner Julian Tackett is digging in.

J.J. Henry aced the 202-yard, par-3 16th in Round 2 of the Puerto Rico Open. It’s his fourth career hole-in-one on the PGA Tour. Either he wasn’t sure about the ball going in or, once you’ve made four aces, the novelty of it all loses effect. Most of us wouldn’t know. That got Henry to […]

With its elevation, Club de Golf Chapultepec offers a soft opening, as long as you can drive your ball straight. Tommy Fleetwood did that and then some, starting eagle-eagle in Round 2 of the WGC-Mexico Championship. Fleetwood drove the 317-yard, par-4 first and converted the 18-footer for a 2. He then hit a 345-yard drive […]

Tiger Woods started Round 2 on No. 10 at Club de Golf Chapultepec after a lackluster Round 1 that added up to even par at the WGC-Mexico Championship.   Tiger’s first birdie of the day came on his third hole at No. 12. He hit a smooth iron shot to about 15 feet and rolled the putt in, […]

Drive for show, putt for dough, right? After a great drive on the par-4 ninth hole, Rory McIlroy struggled on the green. It took McIlroy four putts to finish the hole, and he saw his lead disappear.
