Instead of starting at the winners-only field at Kapalua and then going over to the Sony Open, he started at the Sony Open and heads to the winners-only field on the Big Island for the PGA Tour Champions opener. The question is how long he stays with players his own age. It’s a question Vijay Singh and Davis Love III have contemplated over the last few years.

PGA Championship 2018: Brooks Koepka in front; Tiger Woods 4 strokes behind
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Two-time U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka took a step toward adding a third major to his short list of victories. Koepka bullied rain-softened Bellerive on Saturday on the front nine and built a four-shot lead, only to run into bad patch that brought a strong list of contenders into the mix -- including Tiger Woods -- going into the final round of the PGA Championship. Even with back-to-back bogeys on the back nine, Koepka had a 4-under 66 for a two-shot lead over Adam Scott, the 2013 Masters champion who has been struggling through his worst season in nearly two decades. Scott had a 65 to get into the final group. Gary Woodland lost his way in his footprints in a bunker and made triple bogey on No. 10, falling six shots behind, and still managed a 71 to stay within three shots of the lead, along with Jon Rahm (66) and Rickie Fowler (69). The biggest buzz, as always, belonged to Woods. Coming off a three-putt bogey on the fifth hole, Woods ran off three straight … [Read more...] about PGA Championship 2018: Brooks Koepka in front; Tiger Woods 4 strokes behind

With pressure off, Sam Burns ready to roll toward PGA Tour
Roy Lang Shreveport Times Published 1:37 p.m. UTC Jul 22, 2018 Sam Burns spent a majority of the 2017-18 golf season playing multiple tours in his bid to become a member of the world's best golf circuit, the PGA Tour. Although the former Calvary and LSU star will have to wait another few months to realize that dream, the security of a 2018-19 PGA Tour card has him relaxed, and focused to finish this season strong. “It’s a huge relief,” Burns told The Times. “It takes a little pressure off. You can be a little more strategic in how you rest your body.” With four events remaining on the 2018 Web.com Tour regular-season schedule, Burns ranks sixth on the money list.
