Triple major winning Padraig Harrington reckons fellow Irishman Rory McIlroy could go onto to capture 10 Masters green jackets following his second straight success last Sunday at Augusta National. Harrington was naturally delighted for McIlroy not only successfully defending at Augusta National but also securing a sixth Major Championship title. Harrington created his own slice of golfing history becoming the then 16th player in 2007 and 2008 to capture back-to-back Open Championships, a first Carnoustie ...

Henrik Stenson turned 50 on the fifth day of April and his inaugural seniors event cannot get any better than teeing-up in the April 16th Seniors PGA Championship in Florida.

Two years later he turned pro and then after three years in the play-for-pay ranks Stenson earned the first of what would be 22 pro career victories capped by a memorable final 18 holes ...

There’s the ole story of the No. 272 bus … you wait ages for the bus to arrive and then when it does, two arrive at the same time.

At day’s end, the New York born Young found himself tied at 11-under with defending champion Rory McIlroy. McIlroy had taken a Masters record-setting ...

​World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler produced an impressive ​’Moving Day’ display, posting a bogey-free seven-under 65 to remind all that the double Masters champion is still very much in frame for a third green jacket at Augusta National. Scheffler headed to the scorer’s hut with the clubhouse lead as 36-hole leader Rory McIlroy was nearing the turn in his own third round leading by three at 12-under. Scheffler earned himself a second set of Masters crystal goblets this week thanks ...
