One day after shooting 64 to share the lead at the Czech Masters, John Daly fell back to earth with a 3-over 75. Daly didn’t make a bogey over his first 21 holes, but then dropped shots on four of his next six holes. Beginning on the back nine on Friday at Albatross Golf Resort, […]
PARAMUS, N.J. – Keegan Bradley went to college at St. Johns University, which is about 20 miles from Ridgewood Country Club, and still has friends in the area. But that doesn’t mean The Northern Trust is a friendly-confines deal for the lifelong Boston Red Sox fan. “A lot of Yankee fans. I hear a lot […]
Leave it to Phil Mickelson to admire his own shot and talk trash all at once. As you’ll see and hear in the video below from the par-3 second on Saturday, Mickelson flushes an 8-iron from 169 yards, and while the ball is in the air, it sounds like someone says, “Better be better than […]
