RBC Heritage 2025 – Recap: Justin Thomas Ends Drought with Playoff Win at Harbour Town

This marks Thomas’s 16th win on the PGA TOUR, achieved in his 250th career start, and places him in historic company alongside names like Mark O’Meara, Tom Weiskopf, and Jack Burke Jr. His victory came nearly three years and 59 starts after his last, but if Sunday was any indication, he’s still got plenty more to give.

After opening with a blistering 10-under 61—matching the tournament’s all-time 18-hole scoring record—Thomas battled through the weekend with a mix of steady iron play and signature short-game touch. He entered the final round one shot off the lead and ground out a closing 68 to finish at 17-under-par, forcing extra holes with Novak, who played in the final group.

Once in the playoff, Thomas didn’t flinch. On the famed par-4 18th, he stuck his approach to...

Rory Completes the Slam in an Augusta Classic Masters 2025 – Final Round Recap

On a Sunday that delivered Augusta’s trademark mix of pressure, heartbreak, and heroics, Rory McIlroy’s decade-long quest for the career Grand Slam finally came to its thrilling, tearful end.

In a playoff victory over Justin Rose, McIlroy captured his first green jacket and joined the most elite company in golf history. Only five others—Sarazen, Hogan, Player, Nicklaus, and Woods—have done what McIlroy achieved at age 35: win all four modern major championships.

An Epic Sunday Back Nine

The final round at Augusta delivered a rollercoaster of emotion, with McIlroy battling nerves, a surging field, and the ghosts of Masters Sundays past. His even-par 72 in regulation brought him to 11-under 277, tied with Justin Rose, who stormed home with a...

Rory McIlroy Takes Command with Historic Charge at Augusta Masters 2025 – Round 3 Recap

History is within reach. Legacy is on the line. And Rory McIlroy is one round away from completing the career Grand Slam.

On a day when Augusta National showed its softer side, McIlroy electrified the patrons and shook the leaderboard with a masterful 7-under 65—his second consecutive round in the mid-60s—to take the solo lead at 12-under through 54 holes. It’s his second time leading after three rounds at the Masters, but this one feels different. This one feels destined.

Rory Makes History, Eyes Immortality

From the opening tee shot, McIlroy was in full command. He became the first player in Masters history to begin a round with six straight 3s on his scorecard, including an eagle at the par-5 second. He later added another eagle at the 15th...

Masters 2025 – Round 2 Recap: Rose Reclaims the Spotlight, McIlroy Surges, and the Wind Keeps Everyone Honest

The wind picked up at Augusta National on Friday, but so did the intensity, as Round 2 of the Masters delivered a leaderboard stacked with international flair, major champions, and a familiar name at the top: Justin Rose.

On a gusty afternoon where winds touched 27 mph and flags whipped like rally banners, it was the English veteran who stayed steady, carding a second-round 71 to add to his brilliant opening 65. Rose heads into the weekend at 8-under, leading by one shot in what is now his third time holding the 36-hole lead at the Masters.

The 43-year-old, making his 20th appearance at Augusta, knows this terrain better than most—and it shows. With six top-10 finishes already on his Masters resume, including a playoff loss to Sergio Garcia in 2017 and a...

Justin Rose Rolls Back the Years to Lead Masters After Round One

A golden hour flush of brilliance from Justin Rose crowned a crisp Thursday at Augusta National, where the 44-year-old Englishman turned back the clock with a flawless 7-under 65 to seize a commanding three-shot lead after Round 1 of the 2025 Masters Tournament.

Matching his career-low score at Augusta, Rose looked completely at ease beneath the Georgia pines, firing a front-nine 31 that included five birdies and zero blemishes. It was vintage stuff from the 2013 U.S. Open champ, making his 20th appearance at the Masters and reminding the golf world that experience and touch still have a place among the power game of today.

With his fifth career first-round lead/co-lead at Augusta, Rose now surpasses Jack Nicklaus in that stat—no small feat. But recent history warns...

Hisatsune enjoys second top-10 of season at Valspar Championship

The 22-year-old Hisatsune fired a closing 3-under 68 at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course to end the week on 8-under, three back of winner Viktor Hovland who shot a final round 67 to earn his seventh PGA TOUR victory. Justin Thomas finished runner-up following a 66.

Chinese Taipei's Kevin Yu enjoyed a tied 12th finish after signing off with a 71 for 5-under while South Korea's Byeong Hun An was a further stroke back in a share of 16th position after a 71 as well.

Hisatsune, playing in his second season on TOUR, produced some short game magic in his final round which included five birdies...

Simplicity is the name of the game for Matsuyama

Hideki Matsuyama has a simple theory as to how he could potentially complete a rare collection of trophies associated to three legends of the game at this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.

“It’s very simple really … hit the ball straight and make a lot of putts,” he said with a smile.

Matsuyama, Asia’s winningest golfer on the PGA TOUR with 11 career victories, obviously knows it’s easier said than done at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida this week but having won the Jack Nicklaus-hosted Memorial Tournament presented by Workday in 2014 and last season’s Genesis Invitational, which is hosted by Tiger Woods, he has added drive to win another tournament linked to the great, Arnold Palmer.

A return to Bay Hill is always a...

What happens if your ball strikes another players ball? Golfing Rules, Seriously!

On the course this past weekend, I putt from just off the green and my ball struck my playing partners ball, knocking it closer to the hole.

After a quick giggle, we began to discuss the ruling, 'I'll play from there and its a one-shot penalty for you' my friend said. 'I was off the green' I said, 'Doesn't matter' he said. Right, I said. 'Hang on, and I'll consult the rule book'.

Luckily, I had The R&A's Rules of Golf on my phone (Well worth a download and it's FREE)

Without quoting the book verbatim, there are basically three scenarios which you should be mindful of:

On the Fairway (updated June 14th, 2023) If your ball strikes a fellow player's ball on the fairway by accident, The 9.6 rule comes into affect, meaning If my ball...

What happens if I ground my club in a bunker? The new rules of golf explained

In 2020, the US Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) made several changes to the rules of golf.

One major change was to the "drop procedure" when a ball is lost or out of bounds. Players are now allowed to drop the ball from shoulder height, rather than knee height, making the process more consistent and less prone to mistakes. Another change was to the rule regarding penalty strokes. Players will no longer be penalized for accidentally moving a ball on the green, such as when marking or lifting it.

Additionally, players are now allowed to repair almost any damage to the course, such as spike marks on the green. The changes also include simplifying the rules for bunkers, allowing players to touch or move loose impediments...
