ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – As impressive as Cameron Champ has been this week at the RSM Classic, there is room for improvement. Although he will begin the final round just a stroke off the lead held by Charles Howell III, he has started each round this week at Sea Island Resort slowly, playing his […]

NAPLES, Fla. – Get the broom ready. Ariya Jutanugarn is in position to complete a sweep of the LPGA’s most coveted season-long honors. She’s virtually a lock to take home the Vare Trophy for low scoring average after Sunday’s final round of the CME Group Tour Championship. She’s also in good position to take home […]

NAPLES, Fla. – The pool of emerging talent U.S. Solheim Cup captain Juli Inkster will draw from continues to develop. You can see it again this weekend on the CME Group Tour Championship leaderboard. Nelly Korda, 20, who broke through to win her first LPGA title three weeks ago, made a big move Saturday to […]

Abraham Ancer’s breakthrough win at the Australian Open brought with it another perk: a trip to Royal Portrush next summer. This week’s event at The Lakes in Sydney was the first of the 2019 Open Qualifying Series, with three spots in The Open available to those players not otherwise exempt who finished in the top […]

In a year that has included a number of drought-breaking victories, including Lee Westwood and Matt Kuchar as recently as a week ago, it’s only fitting that Danny Willett found his way back to the winner’s circle. It’s been a prolonged spiral for the Englishman, one that seemingly started as soon as he slipped into […]

Here’s how things ended up at Sea Island, where Charles Howell III edged Patrick Rodgers for his first win since 2007: Leaderboard: Charles Howell III (-19), Patrick Rodgers (-19), Webb Simpson (-18), Ryan Blaum (-17), Luke […]

NAPLES, Fla. – Lexi Thompson was the best this week, and Ariya Jutanugarn was the best all season. Neither left any doubt about that Sunday. Thompson shot a final-round 70 to finish at 18-under 270 and win the LPGA’s season-ending CME Group Tour Championship by four strokes over Nelly Korda. The win makes this the sixth consecutive year that […]

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Patrick Rodgers made the cut on the number at the RSM Classic and began the weekend at Sea Island Resort a dozen strokes off the pace. What he did from there was historic. Rodgers posted rounds of 61-62 on the weekend to get into a playoff with Charles Howell III at […]

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – It has been a rite of spring along the lines of pimento cheese sandwiches and blooming azaleas. Each year in the run up to the Masters, Charles Howell III tried – and often failed – to qualify for his hometown event. Howell admitted this week at the RSM Classic that he’s struggled in […]
