Backstopping has been a topic of debate in the golf world, particularly on the men’s side. Friday at the Honda LPGA Thailand, the women jumped into the controversial fray. On the par-5 18th hole, Ariya Jutanugarn pitched to within a foot of the hole. She then looked to playing competitor Amy Olson to see if she […]

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. It spoiled what was otherwise a solid opening nine, with three birdies on his card. Dustin Johnson now […]

MEXICO CITY – Rickie Fowler wasn’t the first player to find himself on the wrong side of the new rule that requires players to take drops from knee-height, but his infraction was certainly the most high-profile. Fowler began his second round at the WGC-Mexico Championship on the 10th hole and things started to go wrong quickly […]

MEXICO CITY – Tiger Woods nearly gave me a heart attack at the par-4 ninth but I lived long enough to write this blog. Thoughts and observations from Big Cat’s 5-under 66 Friday at the WGC-Mexico Championship. · The sum total of my thoughts on his second shot from the bunker at No. 9: Feel like I’m […]

MEXICO CITY – Just when he looked like he was going to give away a shot on his final hole Friday, Tiger Woods did what he does best, something most everyone else would never even think to try. After finding the right fairway bunker off the tee at the par-4 ninth, Woods found himself blocked […]

MEXICO CITY – Dustin Johnson is enjoying thinking. He said so. The 2017 winner at the WGC-Mexico Championship is once again atop the leaderboard following bogey-free rounds of 64-67 at Club de Golf Chapultepec. Through 36 holes, he leads Rory McIlroy and Matt Kuchar by two at 11 under par. While this golf course does […]

MEXICO CITY – Matt Kuchar went birdie-birdie to begin his second round at the WGC-Mexico Championship and was already trailing his playing partner Tommy Fleetwood by two strokes for the day. Fleetwood became the first player to begin his round with back-to-back eagles on the PGA Tour since 1983 and moved into a tie for […]
