Jeongeun Lee6 wrapped up her opening round at the Amundi Evian Championship on Thursday by birdieing four of her last five holes for a 66, and yet she walked off disappointed.

4:12 PM ET Spain’s Nacho Elvira ended Day 2 with a two-shot lead over joint overnight leader Vincent Norrman as he carded 67 at the Cazoo Open on Friday. Elvira built upon a superb opening-round 64 to take a solo lead at Celtic Manor. The 34-year-old made six birdies as he set the halfway target

This 3M Open last year was the final blemish for Dustin Johnson before everything flipped in a major way to finish out 2020. After withdrawing from last year’s event in Minnesota, he finished in the top six in seven of his next eight starts to close out the year. That run included a runner-up at

9:17 PM ET Associated Press BLAINE, Minn. — Adam Hadwin missed the weekend cuts in his last three tournaments, continuing a disappointing stretch as he dropped to 120th in the FedEx Cup standings.

Bubba Watson is like that kid in “The Sixth Sense.” He sees things that we don’t. He sees openings through trees that aren’t much wider than a sparrow to fly through. He sees lines off the tee that no one else (maybe other than that other wacky lefty, Phil Mickelson, or Bryson DeChambeau) would attempt.

Gaby Lopez, one of just two Mexican golfers ever to win on the LPGA Tour, has been thinking about the Tokyo Olympics for some time now. “That’s my ultimate goal, being able to peak at that week,” Lopez told Golf Channel earlier this year. “That’s what my schedule is going to be played around, being

Rickie Fowler has good news for Tiger Woods fans. “I know he’s been getting after it as far as rehab goes—that takes up most of his day,” Fowler said Wednesday ahead of the 3M Open. “I know as kind of stubborn as he is, being as big of a kind of golf nerd as all

Yealimi Noh has slowly begun to establish herself on the LPGA Tour. The former junior phenom from California who celebrates her 20th birthday next Monday has four top-three finishes and six top-15s in 37 career starts since joining the tour in 2020, including a T-3 at last week’s Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational while teamed

You can’t blame Louis Oosthuizen for not being in the mood to talk following a third consecutive close call in a major championship.

If you’re not betting the 3M Open, you’re either broke from your Open losses or not big enough of a golf degenerate (there’s no shame either way).

3:32 PM ET SANDWICH, England — Louis Oosthuizen produced an amazing two months of golf, contending in three consecutive major championships and joining a short list of players to finish top-3 in three of them in a single year.

Between Collin Morikawa and Seamus Power both winning PGA Tour events on Sunday, there was a lot going on in the (wide) world of golf. It’s no wonder so few people noticed Robert Garrigus did something that’s never been topped before. In fact, there’s a good chance Garrigus himself doesn’t realize it. Playing in the

Through all the complications in returning to play after pausing for the COVID-19 pandemic, the LPGA Tour missed only one major in 2020: the Amundi Evian Championship.

After a glorious stretch of seven men’s major championships in 11 months, golf fans have to wait 263 days until the next one.

Some victories are masterpieces, others are eyesores, and several hours after Collin Morikawa delivered one suitable for framing in England on Sunday, Seamus Power was gifted an ugly one in Kentucky.

Collin Morikawa might have called it the “British Open,” but he nonetheless handled the ceremony as coolly as he did Royal St. George’s. Morikawa is just

The 2021 major championship season was one of firsts. It was one brimming with history, as majors should be, and wholly memorable, as we always hope they will be.
