LAS VEGAS — J.T. Poston used a burst of birdies to build a comfortable lead in the morning and afternoon, first for a three-shot lead after 54 holes and then to give himself a big enough cushion to hold on for a 4-under-par 67 and a one-shot victory Sunday in...

The PGA Tour refers to this portion of the season as the FedEx Cup Fall. It might as well be known as the road easier traveled to Augusta National. The fields are weak. The reward is not. Patton Kizzire was No. 257 in the world ranking and fighting to keep...

The late Tom Weiskopf was never one to mince words inside the ropes or in the broadcast booth or even when he was surveying land for a new golf course. This was no ordinary land in the southwest corner of Utah: a 600-acre field of black lava amid red rock...

JACKSON, Miss. — Kevin Yu made a 15-foot birdie on the 18th hole for a 5-under-par 67, and he birdied it again from 6 feet in a playoff to beat Beau Hossler and win the Sanderson Farms Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title. Yu was nearly forgotten...

JACKSON, Miss. — David Skinns of England set a personal best and a course record with a 12-under-par 60 to lead the Sanderson Farms Championship. And he couldn’t help but be a little disappointed Thursday. Skinns ran off six birdies on the back nine and six more on the front...

MONTREAL — Scottie Scheffler delivered big shots late in two matches, and Patrick Cantlay capped a strong recovery by living up to his “Patty Ice” reputation with a clutch birdie in the dark that gave the Americans an 11-7 lead on a long Saturday at the Presidents Cup. Scheffler finished...

MONTREAL — Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im tied a record for the biggest blowout, and Si Woo Kim polished off a most perfect day as the International team produced a sweep of its own tie the Americans in the Presidents Cup on Friday. “Incredible,” Adam Scott said. “Incredible day for...

MONTREAL — The Presidents Cup matches were close. The score after the opening session was not. The Americans clung to a 1-up lead in all five matches Thursday when they delivered shot after shot, putt after putt, until this already lopsided series took a familiar turn. United States 5, International...

MAINEVILLE, Ohio — Jeeno Thitikul had a rocky closing stretch but did enough to expand her lead over Hall of Famer Lydia Ko, finishing with a birdie for a 4-under-par 68 on Saturday and a two-shot advantage in the Kroger Queen City Championship. Thitikul holed a 20-footer from the fringe...
