Jeff Gove, director of instruction at The Idaho Club near Sandpoint, closed with a 4-under 68 Sunday to claim fifth place at the Senior PGA Professional Championship and qualify for the 2026 Senior PGA Championship.
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – A Sunday stroll around Bethpage Black that should have been carefree turned tense. The Ryder Cup was over until it wasn’t. The American side was dead until it pushed open the coffin and staggered to its feet. Just when the droves of red-white-and-blue-clad maniacs expected to be filing off the property, a bloodbath became a ballgame. Oh, boy.
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – For two years, the Americans were meticulous in their Ryder Cup preparations, laying out the golf course, building a team, perfecting their pairings. Over three days at Bethpage Black, their European counterparts dismantled those efforts methodically and, for the U.S. team, devastatingly.
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – As the United States fell behind 3-0 before picking up its lone point in the morning foursomes session in the anchor match, U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley looked up at the sky and said, “we just had the president fly over in his Air Force One, so I’ve got a feeling things are going to turn here.”
If you have never spent hours outdoors in wet-bulb temperatures, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you avoid doing so at all costs. The combination of high humidity and heat prevents sweat from evaporating and thereby cooling us down, instead making it feel even hotter. Prolonged exposure can lead to heat exhaustion or even death.
The easy joke that came to mind as Scottie Scheffler removed his cap and strode up the 18th fairway Sunday at Royal Portrush Golf Club, the British Open long since grabbed by the throat: Will he enjoy his fourth major championship for more than two minutes? When the final putt fell, he did not pump his fist. He did not buckle at the knees. Only when he saw his wife and young son at the side of the green did he thrust his arms in the air and toss his cap high. He finally saw what matters to him.
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – There is a universal truth in this game: Golf can never be fully mastered. Rarified excellence can be achieved, but to see all the pillars of the game firing at once, coupled with the glue that is the golfer’s mind, is the exception, not the norm.
Ask players in the mix for the Rosauers Open Invitational championship late Sunday afternoon about Daniel Campbell’s game and their responses sounded virtually the same. Terrific putter, quality ball-striker and an unruffled on-course demeanor.
Before he surged at this week’s British Open – shooting a 6-under-par 65 on Friday to reach 8 under and a tie for third place at Royal Portrush Golf Club on the northern coast of Northern Ireland – Brian Harman struggled.
Five players with a combined one major championship win between them are tied for the lead after Thursday’s opening round of the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club on the northern coast of Northern Ireland.
Joel Dahmen and Geno Bonnalie, close friends for 25-plus years and perhaps the PGA Tour’s most entertaining player-caddie tandem, have parted ways on the golf course.
One of the only things rarer than an amateur Rosauers Open Invitational champion – Spokane’s Andrew Von Lossow last year became just the third in tournament history – is a back-to-back champion. Greg Whisman won consecutive titles in 1994 and 1995. Nobody else has pulled off back-to-back wins, and one of the biggest reasons is because the field is always packed with former champions, accomplished pros and standout amateurs.
