AUGUSTA, Ga. – Furman’s Haylee Harford was on the second hole of her practice round Friday morning at Augusta National when her dad, Kevin, said to her, “I think you should take the local caddie.” Kevin Harford caddied for his daughter in the opening two rounds of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur at Champions Retreat […]
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Michelle Wie isn’t likely to make the cut Friday at the ANA Inspiration. Unless hard, gusting afternoon winds turn this championship upside down and grant her a reprieve, she will be going home. As MCs go, though, this won’t sting so much. Her 5-over-par 77 Friday morning was just the fourth […]
AUGUSTA, Ga. – The LPGA legends were at lunch Friday when they were informed of the order in which they’ll strike their ceremonial tee balls on Saturday at Augusta National. “We almost lost it,” said Nancy Lopez, who will hit third, after Se Ri Pak and Lorena Ochoa, and before Annika Sorenstam, who will tee […]
The leader by two through 15 holes in his second round, Si Woo Kim doubled his advantage in one swing. Kim jarred this 9-iron from 167 yards at TPC San Antonio’s par-3 16th hole What a line. What a shot. What a statement. What a celebration. Si Woo Kim makes an ACE at the par-3 […]

First-round leader Kim used a late-round hole-in-one Friday to build a four-shot lead at the halfway point of the PGA Tour’s last stop before the Masters. Kim, […]
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Juli Inkster couldn’t have made her Nabisco Dinah Shore debut any more spectacular. As a rookie back in 1984, she birdied the final hole of regulation to force a playoff with Pat Bradley, who was already a dominant star, and then she beat Bradley in a playoff. Inkster was 23, and […]
AUGUSTA, Ga. – The scene on the first tee Saturday morning at Augusta National was reminiscent of a Masters Thursday. Patrons packed around the ropes, 10-deep in some places. Those who didn’t get there early lined up down the fairway, leaning over the ropes to get a view. Green jackets, including those of Augusta National […]
Ana Belac stepped to the tee of Augusta National’s famed par-3 12th hole on Friday, stuck a 7-iron shot to 5 feet and proceeded to make the birdie putt. It’s a memory she’ll cherish, one of many forged by the competitors in the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur, who got their first taste of the […]
