Phil Mickelson’s Outcry for Ryder Cup Change Carries Americans to New Heights

American celebrations have happened so infrequently over the past quarter-century at the Ryder Cup that nobody could remember the partying particulars of the U.S. team’s most prominent player. Sure, everybody knows Phil Mickelson plays golf as a left-hander, often at the highest levels. Sunday night at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota, the world was reminded that when he parties like... 

USA in Position to Break Ryder Cup Drought Thanks to Patrick Reed’s Birdie Binge

With an animated wave of a hand, Patrick Reed gestured toward the crowd of boisterous fans standing a few feet away, many of them singing songs or chanting his name. He’d contested two fierce matches in the Ryder Cup on Saturday, and while the roars had finally begun to subside, there were times when it seemed as though all 45,000 on the property at Hazeltine National Golf Club were screaming... 

Patrick Reed Standing out as Best Hope to Lead USA to 2016 Ryder Cup Win

The pair looked like two of the monkeys in the fabled drawing we’ve all seen myriad times over the years. You know, that decades-old depiction of three chimps covering their eyes, ears and mouth, respectively. Ryder Cup standout Patrick Reed and partner Jordan Spieth stood at the back of the ninth green Friday morning at Hazeltine National, pretending to be oblivious to all, as Henrik Stenson... 

Team USA’s Forgotten Formula for Winning the Ryder Cup

The magnitude of the moment had barely begun to register with Paul Azinger as he sat at the decorated dais, the crowd trickling out of the room, his wife at his left elbow and a bottled water in his hand. His team had just won the 2008 Ryder Cup in demonstrative fashion, ending a run of European dominance that had become a point of embarrassment, if not occasional outrage, to the captains, players... 

How Steady Jimmy Walker Went Wire-to-Wire at the 2016 PGA Championship

Forget space.  As far as golf goes, Jimmy Walker has conquered the final frontier. A late bloomer and aerospace nut who didn’t win his first PGA Tour event until three years ago at age 34, Walker held off a blistering rally from defending champion Jason Day on Sunday to claim the 98th PGA Championship, his first major title. Walker, a hobbyist who uses his telescope to stare thousands... 

Meet Emiliano Grillo: The IMG Academy Phenom Contending for the PGA Championship

It’s rarely a good idea to begin anything in written form with an informal apology, but in the case of rising wunderkind Emiliano Grillo, it’s absolutely warranted. Grillo, the latest in an impressive line of dauntless young players on the PGA Tour, enters the third round of the PGA Championship on Sunday in the penultimate group and two shots off the lead, despite the fact that he’s... 

Jason Day Shows Remarkable Resilience to Deliver Solid Start at PGA Championship

Maybe Jason Day ought to find a chunk of New Jersey rock and plant it in his shoe, or try to crash one of the state’s many toll booths without a penny in his pocket. Perhaps longtime caddie and mentor Colin Swatton could jab him in the eye with a sharp golf pencil. After all, dealing with aggravation, discomfort, distraction and irritation seems to represent the world No. 1’s personal Grand... 

Dazzling Henrik Stenson-Phil Mickelson Duel at British Open an Instant Classic

Unlike everything else that transpired between Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson on Sunday at Royal Troon, hardly anybody noticed a certain fleeting moment early in the round. As fans scrambled for position and announcers began dusting off superlatives that have seldom been used in golf, the pair walked off the fourth tee box at the 145th Open Championship as Stenson absent-mindedly pitched a... 

Henrik Stenson Finally Looks Ready to Arrive, and Golf Fans Should Be Excited

In the Grand Slam scheme of things, as it relates to casual sports fans, male golfers from Sweden have been about as impactful as giant slalom skiers from Bahrain. Plenty of sand, lots of grit, but no trophies to show for it. Bear with us for a minute on the silly simile. It’s time for Henrik Stenson to end the skein, and not just because he melded the analogy by turning up for the frigid third... 

Phil Mickelson Making Statement with His Game at Royal Troon, Not His Fashion

Phil Mickelson has never been afraid of ad-libbing on the fly, taking the adventurous path seldom traveled or availing himself of the latest gadgetry to help him save a few shots. Over the past fortnight, he’s managed to combine all three in breezy Scotland. For the second time in two starts in the United Kingdom, Mickelson on Friday showed up to play with a large, metal paperclip affixed to...
