Only 18 holes remain in the 147th Open Championship at Carnoustie, and the man tied atop the leaderboard is the same man who captured the claret jug last year at Royal Birkdale. So it’s little surprise that Jordan Spieth is the odds-on favorite (7/4) to win his fourth major entering Sunday’s final round. Xander Schauffele […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Rory McIlroy bogeyed two of his last four holes Saturday to fall four shots off the lead at The Open. One of those mistakes might not have entirely been his fault. McIlroy missed a short putt on the par-3 16th after a photographer was “in a world all his own,” wandering around […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – The key to surviving Carnoustie is avoiding the bunkers. Jon Rahm found three bunkers to close out the front nine Friday, the start of a triple bogey-double-bogey run that led to a second-round 78 and missed cut at The Open. “All of them were as bad a lie as they could have […]
Tiger Woods started the third round of The Open at even par, having made seven birdies and seven bogeys over the first 36 holes at Carnoustie. Following three pars to start on Saturday, Woods went on a birdie binge. No. 1 came with this putt at the par-4 fourth. No. 2 with this two-putt at […]

Freewheeling when he came to the course Saturday, Rose tied the lowest score ever recorded in an Open at Carnoustie. Entering the weekend nine shots off the lead, […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – It sounds like the beginning of a joke, but Jordan Spieth wandered into a Scottish barbershop Saturday and … Well, he got a haircut and somehow went unrecognized. “He went a little high and tight,” Spieth said, removing his Under Armour cap and ruffling his surprisingly short hair. “It was intended to […]
Brittany Lincicome charmed curious spectators and signed a bunch of autographs Saturday at the Barbasol Championship, but she was more than a good LPGA ambassador finishing the suspended second round. She put on a show at Keene Trace in Nicholasville, Ky. “I’ll remember this forever,” she said. Lincicome made five birdies, three in a row, […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Jordan Spieth described Monday’s “ceremony” to return the claret jug to the keepers of the game’s oldest championship as anything but enjoyable. For the last 12 months the silver chalice has been a ready reminder of what he was able to overcome and accomplish in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, a beacon of […]
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Jordan Spieth begins his quest for a second consecutive claret jug and fourth major overall at 9:45 a.m. ET Sunday at Carnoustie, playing alongside Xander Schauffele.
