In his first event since a controversial Ryder Cup appearance, Patrick Reed shot 8-under 64 to grab a two-stroke lead at the WGC-HSBC Champions, finishing with this perfect birdie at his last, the par-4 ninth. That completed a clean card of eight birdies and no bogeys, with a 4-under 32 on both sides. Reed is two […]

Maybe he should have pulled the pin? 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 […]

He remained in Asia for this week’s WGC-HSBC Champions but managed […]

While many of the game’s biggest stars are teeing it up this week in China, Bill Haas is in Mississippi trying to get things back on track. The former FedExCup champ had never missed the postseason until this year, when a tumultuous season came to an abrupt end at the Wyndham Championship. With only one […]

Klara Spilkova was the youngest player to earn membership on the Ladies European Tour when she was 16. She was the first player from the Czech Republic to win an LET event when she claimed the Lalla Meryem Cup last year. Now she’s looking to make a mark in the LPGA ranks. With a 6-under-par […]

Lexi Thompson said in July, via an Instagram post, that she was taking a break to “recharge my mental batteries.” She returned a month later in Indianapolis and opened up about her personal struggles. On Thursday, Thompson again took to Instagram to share the difficulties she’s faced with “self image/body confidence.” You can read the […]

Tony Finau made five birdies over his first 10 holes to take a three-shot lead in Round 2 of the WGC-HSBC Champions, and then got what one on-air announcer described as “one of the unluckiest breaks I’ve seen in a long, long time.” Finau’s approach shot to the par-4 11th hit the top of a […]
