Watch: Koepka flies ball 330 yards, drives green

It’s a good thing par doesn’t actually matter in tournament play, because if it did, the PGA Tour would have to consider 350-yard par-3s, and even those might not stop Brooks Koepka. Already ahead by two during Saturday’s third round at the CJ Cup in South Korea, Koepka drove the green at the par-4 14th, […]

Bend it like Garcia? Sergio scores in player-caddie soccer match

Sergio Garcia has always been able to work his golf ball from left to right, but he’s also – apparently – proficient at playing a draw with a soccer ball. This year’s Adalucia Valderrama Masters is suffering through some weather issues. But the highlight of the week – and, according to the Felipe Aguilar, “the […]
