RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Kristen Gillman did her best to add more red, white and blue to the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year race.

SAN ANTONIO – His first PGA Tour victory in the bag and his ticket punched for next week’s Masters, Corey Conners’ primary concern was a big change to his work weeks going forward. ”No more Monday qualifying,” Conners said. ”That’s the best deal from this. Amazing. It’s a dream come true. I won’t be as stressful on Mondays.” […]
