Cameron Smith doubled-packed this week for the Masters, and it’s not because the weather forecast looks all over the place for the four days of the tournament.
The Augusta victory completes a quadrilateral of top amateur wins for Zhang, after triumphs in the US Women’s Amateur, US Girls’ Junior and the individual portion of the 2022 NCAA Division I Championship.
Anna Davis, who is defending her title this week at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, has been hit with a four-stroke penalty over a rules violations she committed early in the first round Wednesday.
Before the final round of the Valspar Championship on Sunday, Taylor Moore’s name wouldn’t have been on anybody’s lips as the potential champion at the end of the day.
Beefed up and swinging his driver with wild abandon, Bryson DeChambeau led the most recent charge to get the most distance humanly possible out of a golf ball. So it will surprise exactly no one that he is vehemently opposed to the proposed rollback of the golf ball that was announced by the USGA and R&A.
Phil Mickelson has made it abundantly clear that he believes if the PGA Tour leadership had latched onto some of his ideas to emphasise its marquee players, it wouldn’t find itself in the position of contending with LIV Golf.

Tiger Woods has apologised for a prank involving a feminine hygiene product that he pulled on fellow golfer Justin Thomas during Thursday’s first round of the Genesis Invitational.
There are some hilarious responses, including one photo rendering of patio furniture and a barbecue on the site. But there’s genuine disgust, too, as if the R&A slapped a windmill onto the side of its stately clubhouse.
Marcus Byrd was like a bunch of other kids who played golf and idolised Tiger Woods in his prime. When the superstar was competing at Congressional Country Club outside Byrd’s hometown of Washington, DC, he attended with his father, decked out in Woods’ signature red and black.
A pattern is emerging for Max Homa. Similar to Tiger Woods, he’s got his favoured tracks, and he’s got a great affinity for the tournaments in his home state.
