DJ and Koepka: Great friends, great rivals

PARAMUS, N.J. – The game’s undisputed bash brothers put on quite the show on Thursday at The Northern Trust, although the final tally was a tad misleading.

Watch: DJ lips out hole-in-one on Day 1 of The Northern Trust

Dustin Johnson opened with a 4-under 67 At The Northern Trust that put him in the early mix, but it could’ve – and probably should’ve – been a shot better. The world No. 1 went pin-seeking from 232 yards on the 6th hole, and his ball did everything but find the bottom of the cup […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – It’s been a long time since Paul Casey has been through this and, if he’s being honest, it’s somewhat bittersweet.

Would Tour players buy a Tiger-Phil pay-per-view?

PARAMUS, N.J. – Although officials didn’t announce how much it would cost to watch November’s winner-take-all match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, interest for the pay-per-view event among the duo’s contemporaries seemed low. “No,” Paul Casey laughed when asked if he plans to pay to watch the match. “I’ve never bought anything on pay-per-view.

TT postscript: Half-clubs lead to mediocre 71 on Day 1

PARAMUS, N.J. – Here are some things I think I think after a mediocre opening-round 71 at The Northern Trust: • Starting on the ninth tee is just plain weird. I know it was done because of logistics but it’s still awkward. Messes everything up, and I’m not great at math. • Now that we’re […]

After battling injury for much of the summer, John Daly appears to have found the fountain of youth in the Czech Republic.
