There is a reason why someone the caliber of Padraig Harrington had the golf chops to get himself inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Under the biggest pressure in the most prestigious competitions, the experienced and affable Irishman just knows how to close. A Mariano Rivera of the links.

We could look back years from now to say that Tuesday 23 June was the most important date in the history of modern men's professional golf, and the definitive point which spelled the beginning of the end of the DP World Tour and other independent tours around the world.

"That's what you have to ma

The 64 came despite a 4 a.m. wake-up call after Thursday's fog delay pushed his finish into Friday morning. He closed the day in style, draining a

Wyndham Clark / USGA Going into Thursday’s opening round of the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, all the talk was about the expected high winds that were going to whip through the eastern end of Long Island.

But when thick morning fog rolled in shortly after the opening tee shots, reducin

Sunday drama in a home Curtis Cup Match for the Americans? Given what transpired in recent competitions between the USA and Great Britain, that narrative didn’t seem possible.

Yes, the USA reclaimed the Curtis Cup with a 13-7 victory in the 44th rendition of the biennial competition, but it was a whole lot closer than the final margi
