6-Under 64 Sends Sergio Garcia to Top of BMW Field

2014 Deutsche Bank Championship Preview
It seems unlikely that Henrik Stenson will win the 2014 FedExCup title, but that was also the opinion a year ago going into the Deutsche Bank Championship (DBC) in Boston. Stenson won that event, of course, and the TOUR Championship two weeks later in Atlanta, to lock up the FedExCup. He’s one of a trio … Continue reading 2014 Deutsche Bank Championship Preview

Three Share Lead at PGA; No. 1 McIlroy 1 Stroke Back
The good news for the rest of the field at the PGA Championship on Thursday? Rory McIlroy hit a double bogey 7 on the par 5 No. 10. The bad news? Even with the gaffe, he's only one shot off the lead. McIlroy's 5-under 66 has him sitting a stroke behind co-leaders Lee Westwood, Kevin … Continue reading Three Share Lead at PGA; No. 1 McIlroy 1 Stroke Back
