Laura Davies confessed she did not sleep well on a five-shot lead Saturday night at the U.S. Senior Women’s Open. It’s all you needed to know about what this inaugural event meant to the women who were part of the history being made at Chicago Golf Club. The week was more than a parade of […]
Ian Poulter took to Twitter to offer an explanation after the Englishman was accused of verbally abusing a volunteer during the third round of the Scottish Open.
