Xander Schauffele (-9) kept his cool amongst a comparatively unproven slate of contenders atop the Open Championship leaderboard at Royal Troon and was rewarded with a Claret Jug — his second major victory of what’s suddenly become a historically great PGA Tour campaign. “I just can’t wait to drink out of it,” Schauffele said after […]

Shane Lowry appears likely to hang onto the lead heading into the weekend at the 152nd Open Championship, despite a momentary conflict with a Royal Troon photographer that led to his lone double-bogey of the event. On the par-4 11th, the Railway — one of The Open’s toughest holes that also trifled Rory McIlroy, among […]

If Tiger Woods hopes to use the 152nd Open Championship to prove retirement calls premature, he’ll have to do so in the second round at Royal Troon Golf Club. The PGA Tour legend, making his 23rd British Open start, carded an 8-over 79 on Thursday. When he walked off the 18th green, Tiger was tied […]

Rory McIlroy has dug himself a hole as deep as a Royal Troon pot bunker after his first round at the 152nd Open Championship — his final chance to win a fifth major before his drought hits Year 11.

The 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon begins Thursday on the west coast of Scotland. The 156-person field marks the largest for a British Open since 1995.

If there’s one feature of Royal Troon to familiarize yourself with ahead of the Open Championship, it’s undoubtedly the tiny, telegenic, and tricky par-3 8th hole, famously known as “The Postage Stamp.” In the age of power, the 123-yard hole offers a critical accuracy test at the end of a relatively friendly first nine. Beginning […]

Over the weekend, European Ryder Cup legend — and three-time major runner-up — Colin Montgomerie impolitely suggested that Tiger Woods should enjoy post-PGA Tour life rather than waste everyone’s time by participating in golf tournaments such as the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon. “I hope people remember Tiger as Tiger was, the passion and […]

Former European Ryder Cup star Colin Montgomerie doesn’t understand, frankly, why 82-time PGA Tour winner Tiger Woods even bothered to show up at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland this week to compete in the 152nd Open Championship.

Cue […]

Rory McIlroy used his first media appearance on the PGA Tour since his U.S. Open heartbreak to fiercely defend his caddie and childhood friend, Harry Diamond, in the wake of criticism levied by NBC analyst Smylie Kaufman and Hank Haney, who carried Tiger Woods’ bag for six major titles.
