Former Open champion Tom Weiskopf has died at the age of 79 following a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.
A look at the 26-year long history of the PGA tour's 3M Open.
South Korea's Kim Joo-hyung wrote his name into the record books with an extraordinary first victory on the PGA Tour in the Wyndham Championship. Kim started the week with a quadruple-bogey eight on his opening hole, but rebounded to shoot 67 and added rounds of 64, 68 and 61 to finish 20 under par at Sedgefield Country Club. The 20-year-old - who is the second youngest winner on the PGA Tour since 1932 - made six birdies and an eagle in a front nine of 27 and although a bogey on the 10th halted his momentum, birdies on the 15th and 16th helped seal a five-shot win over Sungjae Im and John Huh.
Cameron Smith has said his aim is to find out how many beers fit in the Claret Jug, following his stunning win at the Open Championship. Smith, the leader after 36 holes, bounced back from a poor day on Saturday to come from four shots back to reel in Rory McIlroy to secure victory on the Old Course. Ad/> He became the fifth Australian to lift the Claret Jug, following in the footsteps of Peter Thompson, Kel Nagle, Greg Norman and Ian Baker-Finch, and he was lost for words to describe tasting victory in the 150th Open Championship.
Jordan Spieith is one of the most fun golfers in the world to watch, and he became relatable to amateurs everywhere with an embarrassing duff at the Open Championship. The American arguably started the final round a little too far off the pace, as he trailed the leaders by eight shots. Ad/> In good scoring conditions on the Old Course at St Andrews, Spieth moved forward — and in his own unique way by talking to his ball as if it was his friend.
Rory McIlroy was firmly on course to lift the Claret Jug for the second time as the 150th Open Championship headed for a tense climax.
Five days after describing winning the Open on the Old Course as golf’s Holy Grail, Rory McIlroy will take a share of the lead into the final round of the 150th Championship following a stunning Saturday at St Andrews.
