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 […]
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – In-Kyung Kim slayed her demon memory at Kingsbarns in Scotland two years ago. When she won the Women’s British Open, she put to rest the question of whether she would ever get over the agonizing way she lost the Kraft Nabisco in 2012 and be able to win her first major […]
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth are successfully fine-tuning their preparations for the Masters. However, they haven’t been able to match Si Woo Kim so far at the Valero Texas Open. 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, […]

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 […]
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – The Spaniards, English and Swedes are lining up as a potentially formidable nucleus of this year’s European Solheim Cup team with qualifying intensifying at the ANA Inspiration. Carlota Ciganda is off to a promising start this season. She tied for second at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup two weeks ago […]
After an opening, 4-under 68 that left him two shots off the 18-hole lead at the Valero Texas Open, most wondered how Jordan Spieth would follow up his performance on Day 2. Pretty, pretty, pretty good. After bogeys on two of his first three holes – having started on the back nine Friday – Spieth […]
Leonie Harm’s presence at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur is nothing less than a miracle. In 2013, Harm was in a German hospital with doctors telling her family she had less than a 1 percent chance of living. Instead, she recovered and has made the most of her second chance at life, becoming one of […]
