Q. What’s it mean to you to defend your title here this week at RBC Heritage?

It feels like a really easy week for us coming off of Augusta. Th

Justin Rose insisted he had “no regrets” after suffering a second agonising Masters play-off defeat.
Eight years after losing out to Sergio Garcia at Augusta National, Rose was beaten on the first extra hole by Rory McIlroy, who holed from short range for birdie after Rose’s attempt had narrowly missed.“It hurts,” admitted Rose, whose 10th birdie of the day on the 18th hole in regulation had completed a superb closing 66.

It is perhaps an example of how time is fleeting when you consider that Tommy Fleetwood is now in his 15th year as a golf pro. For many golf fans, it will feel like the young kid came onto the scene just yesterday with his flowing locks and good humor. Fleetwood has not always set the world alight with his golf, but he is a grinder and capable of magical moments. He is also highly consistent, which is one of the main reasons he is constantly in and around the world’s top ten in the OWGR ra

Tiger Woods welcomed Rory McIlroy to golf’s most exclusive club after his dramatic victory in the 89th Masters.

Rory McIlroy hailed a “dream come true” after beating Justin Rose in a play-off to win the 89th Masters and finally complete the career grand slam.

Rory McIlroy will try to avoid turning the final round of the Masters into a “rematch” with Bryson DeChambeau as he bids to complete the career grand slam.
McIlroy carded a second successive 66 at Augusta National to hold a two-shot lead over DeChambeau, who edged out the Northern Irishman in dramatic fashion to win his second US Open title at Pinehurst last year.

Less than 24 hours after it appeared to be on life support, Rory McIlroy spectacularly revived his bid to win the Masters and complete the career grand slam.
McIlroy shrugged off the crushing disappointment of two late double bogeys in the space of three holes in his opening 72 to card an eagle and four birdies in a second-round 66 which drew a standing ovation from the patrons around the 18th green at Augusta National.
The thrilling effort lifted McIlroy to six under par and a shot behind the m

Q. Last year was your first Masters start. What have you learned from that experience that’s helped you so far this week?
LUDVIG ÅBERG: Yeah, I think so. This place, experience goes a long way, and I felt like we played a very disciplined round of golf today. When you execute the shots, it makes it a whole lot easier, obviously, but I felt like we managed sort of the shots where we were in between clubs in the right way and didn’t try to force anything, laid up on a couple

Two-time runner-up Justin Rose equalled his lowest round at Augusta National as Rory McIlroy suffered a nightmare finish on day one of the 89th Masters.
McIlroy ran up double bogeys on the 15th and 17th as he stumbled to a potentially ruinous 72 in his 11th attempt to claim a green jacket and complete the career grand slam.
In stark contrast, Rose had the course record of 63 in his sights after picking up his eighth birdie of the day on the 16th, but had to scramble for par on the next and bogey
