NORTON, Mass. – On Thursday Tiger Woods suggested that Rory McIlroy, who last week skipped the first playoff event, may have had the right idea with all of the big events packed into the next few weeks. For Woods, there would be a value in an extra week of rest, but McIlroy’s decision to skip […]
Alena Sharp grinded out an even-par round Thursday at the Cambia Portland Classic, but she couldn’t have left Columbia Edgewater Country Club feeling better if she were atop the leaderboard.

Woods is in the midst of a renaissance season that has included a pair of runner-up finishes, less than two years after he underwent back fusion surgery. His strong play has made […]
NORTON, Mass. – If you do learn more from defeat than you ever do from victory, consider 2018 a triumph for both Jordan Spieth and clichés. You know the deal – it’s the journey, not the destination. But then Jordan Spieth’s journey this season hasn’t exactly been a pleasure cruise. For the first time since […]
NORTON, Mass. – Chris Kirk is not your prototypical PGA Tour player. He doesn’t bash the ball ridiculously long distances and he doesn’t see any benefit, at least for himself, to try. Nor does he see any reason to change the way golf is played. “The game is a little different than it was around […]
