England’s Paul Casey successfully defended his title Sunday at the Valspar Championship, holding on for a one-stroke victory over Louis Oosthuizen and Jason Kokrak and out-playing a flustered Dustin Johnson, the World No. 1 player. Not that we’re counting (though we are), but that’s three straight victories by European players in PGA Tour event after Italy’s Francesco Molinari rallied to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational—in the most dominating effort on the American tour by Europeans, who secured the top five places—and the omnipresent Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland captured the Players. Casey cobbled together a sufficient, though not scintillating, one-over 72 at the uncooperative Copper
We will be opening on the 1st of April this year. I know it is April Fool's Day but only Mother Nature can stop it. We have been picking up all the branches and debris that came down this winter with the ice and wind and are getting the course in shape.

I’ve just got to do my thing, and i
Keith Mitchell had the perfect reaction when announcers botched his name on the Honda Classic broadc
Keith Mitchell was likely not a name most golf fans were too familiar with until his breakthrough victory at the Honda Classic. The 27-year-old hadn't won professionally at any level, and he hadn't competed in big events—even leading the local Palm Beach Post to rip on Mitchell's win, calling him a "no-name champion". Pretty brutal. Turns out, even the TV broadcast wasn't as familiar with the rising star's name before Sunday's victory. As Mitchell finished up his third round as one of the 36-hole leaders alongside Sungjae Im, NBC's Dan Hicks got Mitchell's name wrong—perhaps just a slip of the tongue—which happens to the best of announcers. Obviously, Hicks is one of the best broadcasters in
