Ryder Cup news has been the hot topic this week, and McIlroy, the firebrand of the European team, was asked to weigh in on both the good and potentially bad related to the team that has won the past two editions in Rome and New York.
While feeling more and more like his old self, Thomas acknowledged he’ll need to be diligent in the coming months to make sure he doesn’t push too quickly as the 32-year-old tries to make up for lost time.
Scottie Scheffler insisted this type of performance was coming. At Bay Hill, he mowed down the field with a red-hot putter and claimed his second Arnold Palmer Invitational. (Next up: TPC Sawgrass.)
Australia’s two Cams led the way on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf in a mixed bag for the Down Under gang. Cam Davis led the way during a disappointing campaign for the Australians at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill while Cam Smith lost in a playoff at LIV Golf Hong Kong.
Scheffler’s change to a TaylorMade Spider Tour putter at the start of the week was the topic of much discussion. His putter wasn’t the only thing working, however. He ranked first in strokes gained/off the tee for the week, second in greens in regulation and third in strokes gained/around the green.
According to shot tracker on PGA Tour.com, Rahm’s stub travelled one entire inch. The original putt was 10 inches, and he tapped in the nine-incher for a bogey at the par-3 seventh.
DeChambeau says he does not believe he has fully recovered from a pair of injuries to his left hand and his left hip that forced him to withdraw from the Saudi International in early February.
