Davis Thompson qualifies for Open Championship after record-setting win at PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic | Golf News

On: July 7, 2024 By: admin

Davis Thompson put in record-setting performance as he wrapped up victory at the John Deere Classic and secured a spot in the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon.

Thompson’s final total of 28 under par in Illinois eclipsed the previous tournament record of 27 under set by Michael Kim in 2017 and earned him a first PGA Tour title as well as a debut appearance in the British major from July 18-21.

The 25-year-old carded a seven-under 64 on Sunday to finish four strokes clear of CT Pan, Michael Thorbjornsen and amateur Luke Clanton, with Pan securing the second Open qualification spot by virtue of having the higher world ranking.

Thompson led fellow American Eric Cole and England’s Aaron Rai by two strokes heading into the final round and never looked in danger of being caught as he birdied five of his first six holes at TPC Deere Run and reached the turn in 29.

The Georgian – who came joint-second at last week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic after a ninth-placed finish at the US Open in June – saw his lead trimmed to three shots after he bogeyed 12 with Thorbjornsen making six birdies on the trot between eight and 13.

However, Thompson birdied 14 to effectively clinch victory with Thorbjornsen bogeying the same hole before picking up a birdie at 18 to end up alongside Pan and Clanton at 24 under.

Thompson told CBS: “Qualifying for the Open was just an added incentive into this. The goal was to win the golf tournament after getting off to a great start and I was able to finish it off.”

Bizarrely, the winner of this tournament has stayed in the same rental house for three years running, with Thompson following in the footsteps of JT Poston in 2022 and last year’s winner Sepp Straka.

Clanton – who played the back nine in six under – became the first amateur to finish in the top 10 in back-to-back starts on the PGA Tour since 1958 having come 10th at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

England’s Rai ended up tied for seventh at the John Deere Classic after a two-under 69, with compatriot Harry Hall a further stroke back in a tie for 12th after closing with a six-under 65 that featured eight birdies and a double bogey.

PGA Tour: Davis Thompson two ahead of Aaron Rai going into John Deere Classic final round | Golf News

On: July 7, 2024 By: admin

American Davis Thompson fired nine birdies in a third-round 62 to take a two-shot lead into the final day of the John Deere Classic.

Soft conditions on the TPC Deere Run in Illinois continued to bring low scores, Thompson moving to 21 under par – two clear of England’s Aaron Rai and fellow American Eric Cole.

“I guess it was just my day today,” said Thompson, who is seeking his first PGA Tour victory. “The guys behind me are playing really well.

“I know it’s going to be tough to finish off a golf tournament, but I’ve done it before. I just have to stay present-minded.”

With the final day being played in threesomes with a delayed start in a bid to beat storms, Rai, co-leader after the second round, will play in the last group for the second successive week.

He had six birdies in a round of 66 as he bids to go one better than his second place at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week.

Hayden Springer, who shot a 59 on the opening day, is a further two strokes back on 17 under par after a 66, alongside Taiwan’s CT Pan.

Rookie Michael Thorbjohnsen and amateur Luke Clanton are among those on 16 under par, while a third-round 70 saw England’s Harry Hall tumble down the leaderboard to seven shots adrift.

PGA Tour: England’s Aaron Rai shares halfway lead at John Deere Classic with Harry Hall one back | Golf News

On: July 6, 2024 By: admin

England’s Aaron Rai shares the lead at the halfway stage of the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic with countryman Harry Hall just a shot further back.

Rai – who topped the leaderboard going into the final round of last week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic before eventually finishing in a tie for second behind Cameron Davis – shot a bogey-free, eight-under 63 in Illinois on Friday to rise to 14 under for the event.

CT Pan matched Rai’s efforts on the day – the Taiwanese player’s blemish-free round featured a 100-foot chip for eagle at the 14th – and he is locked with the Englishman at the head of the field.

The pair are one stroke clear of Hall, who shot a five-under 66, and two better off than a group of six players on 12 under, including Hayden Springer and Sungjae Im.

Springer carded a 59 in his opening round but had to settle for an even-par 71 a day later as he missed a three-foot par putt and also carded a double-bogey late on at TPC Deere Run.

He said: “It wasn’t too bad. It was a little windier today, probably played a little tougher.

“I kind of hit some bumps on the back nine but more just mental errors and not making those short putts than anything else.”

Rai continues fine form

Rai, Hall and Springer are each looking to land their first PGA Tour titles, although Rai has won twice on the DP World Tour, including at the 2020 Scottish Open when he beat Tommy Fleetwood in a play-off.

Rai said: “I’ve been playing well tee-to-green for large parts of this season and that’s kind of continued over the last few weeks.

“A couple of weeks ago I spent quite a while on the green. My dad gave me a couple of tips.

“I’ve started working with John Graham as well, a putting coach who is based out here. Putting all that together has definitely translated onto the course.”

Two-time John Deere Classic champion Jordan Spieth notched two late birdies to make the cut with a four-under 67 but is eight shots adrift heading into the weekend at six under par.

The 2013 and 2015 winner said: “We had yesterday morning with no wind and a chance to really take advantage.

“I had 18 holes of a couple under yesterday, and unless you’re absolutely perfect from there, there is not much of a chance of winning.

“That doesn’t mean you don’t go out and try and shoot 10 under the next day.”

Watch the third round of the John Deere Classic live on Sky Sports Golf from 5pm on Saturday. Coverage of the final round then begins at 5pm on Sunday.

PGA Tour: Hayden Springer shoots historic 59 at John Deere Classic | Golf News

On: July 4, 2024 By: admin

Hayden Springer has become the 14th player to record a sub-60 round on the PGA Tour after shooting a 12-under 59 in the first round of the John Deere Classic.

Springer carded eight birdies and two eagles, holing from just outside 12 feet on the final green for the last of his birdies to break the 60 barrier.

The 27-year-old American fired an eight under 27 on the front nine at TPC Deere Run, the lowest nine-hole score on Tour since 2000, then went quiet for several holes. He was nine under thru 16 holes when he holed out from the rough for eagle at the par-five 17th.

That put him one birdie away from the elusive 59. He found the centre of the 18th fairway, put his second shot about 12 feet from the pin and drained the putt.

His feat comes less than two weeks after Cam Young shot 59 at the Travelers Championship which was the first 59 since 2020. Jim Furyk holds the PGA Tour record with a 58 at the 2016 Travelers Championship and he has also carded a 59, along with Scottie Scheffler, Kevin Chappell, Brandt Snedeker, Adam Hadwin, Justin Thomas, Stuart Appleby, Paul Goydos, David Duval, Chip Beck, and Al Geiberger.

“I am feeling good. I am kind of at a loss for words in terms of being able to do that,” said Springer after signing his card.

“It is one of those rare things in golf, so to have that opportunity and pull it off is pretty special.

“It is special to be able to do that. I played well last week but it has been a little bit tough to find anything and get stuff going and go low.

“It is special. It feels good to be standing here and to have had a good round of golf.

“I didn’t actually think I could make that shot [on 17] but I did and that kind of changed the momentum.”

Springer had missed seven of his last nine cuts but did finish 10th at last week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic.

He is ranked 236th in the world and has never won on the PGA Tour. He turned pro in 2019 but, after losing his card, he earned his way back on tour via Q-school last December.

PGA Tour: Cam Davis wins Rocket Mortgage Classic after late three-putt from Akshay Bhatia in Detroit | Golf News

On: July 1, 2024 By: admin

Australia’s Cam Davis won the Rocket Mortgage Classic for the second time in
four years following a last-hole blunder from Akshay Bhatia.

Bhatia had a birdie putt from 32 feet on the 18th to win his third PGA Tour title but left it four feet short and also missed the par attempt.

That gifted the win to Davis, whose closing 70 had set a clubhouse target of 18 under which none of the other contenders were able to match at Detroit Golf Club.

Fellow Australian Min Woo Lee had birdied the 14th, 15th and 17th to claim a share of the lead only to bogey the last, while American Davis Thompson birdied the same holes to reach 17 under but left a birdie attempt on 18 short.

England’s Aaron Rai was part of the four-way tie for second after following a birdie on the 14th with four straight pars in a closing 72.

“From where I was a couple of weeks ago to today, it’s just completely different. I’m a little emotional actually,” Davis told CBS.

“I wouldn’t wish what happened to Akshay on anyone but I’ve done a lot of grinding to try and get myself out of a hole and to just all of a sudden do that, it’s pretty good.

“I’ve got so many people behind me that have helped me along the way. I had a lot of support to kind of get me out of the doldrums there. I saw a little bit of a spark last week but nothing to show this coming so this is great.”

Asked about the three-putt on the 18th, a disappointed Bhatia said: “That green’s old school, so a lot of slope, downhill left to right. It’s a tricky putt just to get the speed correct and I did such a good job all day of my speed being really good until that last hole.

“I hit a good putt, I probably just under-read it a little bit or it lacked a little bit of speed so nothing I can do about it.”

Rai, who had shared the lead with Bhatia after 54 holes, said: “Overall a good week. Obviously being in the position that we were in today, there was a great chance to maybe do a little bit more.

“Got off to a really good start today, just a few too many loose shots and just didn’t really keep the round going as well as what I could have and as well as the last three days. That part was a little bit disappointing for sure, but so many positives to take. Yeah, really pleased with how my game feels overall.”

Cameron Young bogeyed two of his last three holes to finish three strokes back in tied-sixth alongside Eric Cole, Erik Van Rooyen and Rico Hoey.

What’s next?

The PGA Tour heads to Illinois next for the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run, where Austria’s Sepp Straka is defending champion. Early coverage begins on Thursday from 3.30pm via the red button and 7.30pm on Sky Sports Golf, ahead of full coverage from 9pm.

PGA Tour: Akshay Bhatia and Aaron Rai keep lead at tight Rocket Mortgage Classic | Golf News

On: June 30, 2024 By: admin

Akshay Bhatia and England’s Aaron Rai shot four-under-par 68s to remain co-leaders through the third round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Saturday in Detroit.

American Bhatia and Rai began the round sharing the lead, but the overall leaderboard has tightened. Rai had five birdies and a bogey, while Bahatia navigated his third consecutive round without a bogey.

They are both at 17-under 199 going into Sunday’s final round.

Cameron Young (67), who birdied three of his last five holes, and Australia’s Cam Davis (66), who had birdies on three of his first four holes and completed a bogey-free round, are one shot back at 16 under.

Sam Stevens (66), who birdied the final two holes, and South Africa’s Erik van Rooyen (68), who did not register a bogey, are at 15 under.

Amateur Luke Clanton (65), Joel Dahmen (68) and Australia’s Min Woo Lee (66) are tied for seventh at 14 under. Clanton climbed to a share of second place by the time he finished his third round before others took advantage of scoring chances in the early evening.

“It’s my first PGA Tour event and to be in contention where I’m at right now is awesome,” Clanton said.

Clanton, a 20-year-old Florida State golfer, played earlier in the month in the US Open, making the cut and tying for 41st place. On Saturday, he eagled the par-five 14th hole, just two holes after his only bogey of the round.

Defending champion Rickie Fowler shot 67 and moved to 11 under. The start of the third round had a significant delay and tee times were revised, with golfers using the first and 10th tees as starting spots.

Will Zalatoris, citing a back injury, withdrew during the third round. He was seven under through the first two rounds. but three over through eight holes on Saturday before ending his round.

Scottie Scheffler looking forward to competing at 2024 Olympic Games after sixth win of PGA Tour season | Golf News

On: June 27, 2024 By: admin

World No 1 Scottie Scheffler became the first golfer to record six wins on the PGA Tour before July since Arnold Palmer in 1962 after beating Tom Kim in a play-off at the Travelers Championship.

In the blog below, the reigning Masters champion reflects on pipping a good friend to victory, not defining himself by wins, and how much he is looking forward to competing for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics in Paris…

It’s pretty special to win my sixth tournament and it’s been a great season. I’ve been fortunate to come away with some wins and it’s been a lot of fun. Tom Kim played his heart out and it was fun battling him. He’s one of my good buddies and play a lot of golf together at home in Dallas as well as out here on Tour.

It’s always fun competing against your friends but it’s also really tough. Then when I see him make bogey in the play-off hole, it hurts because that’s my friend. However, Tom should remember the putt he made on 18 (in regulation play to make the play-off) because it was pretty special.

I’m sure that’s something he’ll remember for a long time. He’s got a habit of making those putts when it matters. He’s got the right attitude to play out here for a long time and he’s only 22. I told him he’s a great player and a great champion, and I’m proud of him.

During the final round, the putts were hanging right around the edge and I felt like I hit a lot of good putts, especially on the back nine. Man, it was tough watching each one roll by the edge but I kept fighting and stayed in it.

I think standing on the 13th tee, we were all tied and I kind of told myself like if I birdied three of the last six, it would be a play-off at worst. That kind of got me to a different frame of thinking because I felt I hit a lot of good shots and I hadn’t really made as many birdies as I hoped to, and if I stayed patient, I would be able to make some birdies which I did.

Scheffler: Olympics will be very special

I feel like I haven’t always been able to get it across the line at tournaments where they’re more of a shoot-out. Most of my wins have been on some difficult golf courses, so it’s nice to be able to come here where putting is so important and holing the right putts when you need to is important.

As most of you know, I try to not look too far into the past or look too far into the future. I’ve been very fortunate to come away with some wins this year and it’s been fun. It is a lot of hard work paying off, and I’m very grateful to have some trophies to show for it.

I’ve talked a good amount about why I don’t really define myself by my wins or by my losses, and I do my best to compete and have the right attitude.

It’s been a tremendous year and I’m grateful to have some wins, and I’m looking forward to competing in the Open, playing in the Olympics and then the FedExCup Playoffs. And I think I should be on the Presidents Cup team, and after that, I’ll take a break.

I think the Olympics is going to be very special. Any time you’re able to represent your country and wear the flag is something very few people get to experience, and I’m very proud to be representing the USA.

I’m very grateful as that’s something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time and it will be very special going over there and competing with the other three guys (Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark). Hopefully, we’ll be able to bring home some medals for the USA.

I don’t set long-term goals, I never have. I’ve always been best just when I stay in the present. I have what I would call dreams and aspirations and those will probably never change, but as far as goals for the year, nothing really changes for me. I show up, and it’s most important for me to have the right attitude and try and compete.

I feel like the team around me this year has done a great job of getting on me a little bit when my attitude is not where it needs to be. I feel like on the golf course, Teddy (caddie Ted Scott) and I have been as tough this year as we’ve been in a long time and it’s been a lot of fun.

Lee Westwood: The watching fans are the losers in LIV Golf and PGA Tour disputes | Golf News

On: June 26, 2024 By: admin

Lee Westwood claims the only losers in the ongoing dispute between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour are the watching fans.

The Brit, a two-time Masters runner-up and former No 1 golfer in the world is at the Newport Country Club this week for the US Senior Open, making his over-50 tour debut a year late in part because of a PGA Tour ban on LIV Golf defectors.

The 51-year-old received an invite to the Senior Open, which is run by the USGA, as a recent Ryder Cup participant. Richard Bland has also earned an invitation for winning the Senior PGA Championship. The only other LIV golfer over 50 is Phil Mickelson.

“At the end of the day, we’re in the entertainment industry,” Westwood said on Tuesday.

“No matter what the level of golf is, I think if the best players at every level don’t come together and play, there’s only one loser, and that’s the fans watching.

“We need to somehow figure a way that we can get the best players playing against each other more often.”

Westwood ascended to the No 1 ranking in 2010 after finishing in the top three in four of the previous five majors. That ended Tiger Woods’ record run of 281 weeks as the world’s top-ranked golfer; the Englishman held the No 1 ranking for 22 weeks.

Although Westwood has never won a major, he has finished in the top five a dozen times.

The PGA Tour’s policy is that LIV golfers have to wait one year from their last appearance on the Saudi-backed circuit to play in PGA Tour or PGA Tour Champions events.

In addition, the European tour has fined Westwood £850,000 – a fine he repeated on Tuesday he has no intention of paying. “We’ll have to find a way around that,” he said.

“At any level, it’s disappointing they can’t resolve it. The Champions Tour for me is important because people have watched me play and other guys out here play for the last 30, 40 years, and they build relationships with those players and they’ve seen us grow as players and people.

“Yes, people want to see the youngsters, the new guys on the block coming through and contending. But they also want to see the guys they’ve made a bond with over the last 30, 40 years.”

Westwood is coming off a tie for third at last week’s LIV event outside of Nashville, Tennessee – his best result of the season. He said he didn’t feel like he needed a strong performance in Newport to make his larger point.

“Everybody I talked to said it’s great to see myself and Richard playing here,” Westwood said, adding that he thought the victory by LIV’s Bryson DeChambeau in the US Open was good for the sport.

“It’s basically getting all the best players together in one tournament to compete against each other, and that’s what you want at the highest level. You want all the best players there.”

What’s next?

The next LIV Golf League event takes place at Real Club Valderrama from July 12-14, ahead of The 152nd Open at Royal Troon the following week. Stream the PGA Tour, majors and more, without a contract, with NOW.

PGA Tour: Scottie Scheffler beats Tom Kim in Travelers Championship play-off after protesters disrupt 72nd hole | Golf News

On: June 24, 2024 By: admin

Scottie Scheffler returned to winning ways and registered a sixth PGA Tour victory in 10 starts after beating Tom Kim in a dramatic finish at the Travelers Championship.

The world No 1, heading into the final round a shot behind at TPC River Highlands, carded five birdies in a bogey-free 65 to finish on 22 under alongside overnight leader and playing partner Tom Kim.

Kim holed a 10-foot birdie on his final hole to force the play-off, after play was briefly halted when multiple protesters ran onto the 18th green and put coloured powder on the putting surface before being removed by police.

The green was cleared ahead of the play-off, where Kim was unable to get up and down from the sand and Scheffler made a winning par to become the first player since Arnold Palmer in 1962 to win six times before July on the PGA Tour.

Victory follows wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, The Players, The Masters, RBC Heritage and Memorial Tournament already this season, with his latest success extending his advantage at the top of both the world rankings and the FedExCup standings.

How Scheffler won another Signature Event

Scheffler opened with five straight pars before taking advantage of the par-five sixth and rolling in from 15 feet at the next, then responded to a missed opportunity at the 12th by two-putting from 12 feet to birdie the par-five next.

The two-time major winner fired his approach close at the 14th and added another birdie after driving the green at the par-four 15th, where Kim also picked up a shot to stay within one.

Kim – who started the day one ahead – had lost his overnight advantage when he reached the turn in level par, only to make three birdies in a six-hole stretch on his back nine to get to 21 under.

Both players failed to convert outside birdie opportunities on the next two holes to keep Scheffler one ahead heading into the par-four last, where Kim almost holed his approach shot to leave him 10 feet from the flag.

Scheffler’s second shot just cleared the greenside bunker and finished on the fringe, before play was briefly disrupted when multiple protesters ran onto the green and powder was thrown on the putting surface.

The protesters were quickly removed and the green cleared of debris, with Scheffler’s outside birdie try stopping on the right edge before Kim poured in his effort to take the contest to a play-off.

Kim saw his approach plug in a bunker and left him unable to save par, as Scheffler missed his birdie effort but tapped in for victory – the 12th of his PGA Tour career and fourth in a Signature Event this season.

“It has been a great season,” Scheffler said. “I’ve been fortunate to come away with some wins and it has been a lot of fun. Tom played his heart out today. He’s a great player, great champion and it was fun battling with him today.”

Asked about the protests on the 18th green, Scheffler added: “Fortunately for Tom and me we’re great friends so we were able to kind of relax each other. You don’t really understand the situation, there’s people running around everywhere and you don’t really know what’s going to happen so it’s a bit confusing.”

Tom Hoge carded a final-round 62 to jump into tied-third with Sungjae Im, while Patrick Cantlay shared fifth spot with Tony Finau, Justin Thomas and Akshay Bhatia.

Cameron Young, who carded just the 13th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history during the third round, opened with four straight birdies and carded a four-under 66 to finish tied-ninth with Shane Lowry, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman.

What’s next?

Women’s PGA Championship: Amy Yang eases to maiden major with dominant three-stroke victory | Golf News

On: June 24, 2024 By: admin

Amy Yang secured her maiden major victory after cruising to an emphatic three-shot victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Washington.

Yang took a two-shot lead into the final day at Sahalee Country Club and never left top spot during an impressive display, where she increased her lead to seven strokes before a late wobble over her closing holes.

The world No 25 dropped three shots in a two-hole stretch but held enough of an advantage to give little hope to the chasing pack, with Yang closing out a level-par 72 to finish comfortably ahead of a three-way tie for second.

Playing partner Miyu Yamashita shared second alongside former world No 1s Lilia Vu and Jin Young Ko, while Lauren Heritage – in the final group – shared fifth with Ally Ewing on three under.

How Yang secured major breakthrough

Yang fired her approach to close range to set up an opening-hole birdie but failed to take advantage of the par-five next, allowing playing partners Hartlage and Yamashita to get back within two by converting their birdie opportunities.

The Korean responded to a bogey at the third by chipping in from off the fifth green to match Hartlage’s birdie and stay one ahead, then avoided a bogey at the par-five next despite finding a horror lie in the sand with her approach.

Hartlage double-bogeyed the seventh and allowed Yang to move five clear with a birdie at the par-four next, with the overnight leader still remaining in control of the tournament despite starting her back nine with a bogey.

Yang birdied the par-five next and made an eight-foot birdie at the par-three 13th, which moved her six clear when Vu – playing several groups ahead – undid some of her three-birdie burst on the back nine with a dropped shot at the 14th.

The lead briefly increased to seven until Yang followed a three-putt bogey at the 16th by double bogeying the par-three next, having found water off the tee, although she was still able to par the last and complete the biggest win in her career.

“I’m lost for words right now,” Yang said. “I always wanted to win a major and I’ve come close several times. I started doubting myself about whether I was ever going to win a major before I retire, because I’ve been on tour quite a while, but I’m so grateful and very happy to!”

Lexi Thompson recovered from being eight over after eight holes to salvage a two-over 74 and end the week tied-ninth, with Linn Grant the highest-performing European and also ending the week on one under.

England’s Charley Hull posted a two-over 74 to end the week on one over, with Celine Boutier a further shot back and Ireland’s Leona Maguire ending on four over after rounds of 75 and 76 over the weekend.

What’s next?

The LPGA Tour switches to team golf for its next event, with the Dow Championship taking place at Midland Country Club in Michigan from Thursday and live coverage of the final two rounds on Sky Sports.

There are two women’s majors remaining this year, both live on Sky Sports, with the Amundi Evian Championship in France from July 11-14 before the AIG Women’s Open takes place at St Andrews from August 22-25. Stream the LPGA Tour, majors and more, without a contract, with NOW.
