Shane Lowry sends Tommy Fleetwood a message after missing out on winning DP World India Championship

Leave a comment

Shane Lowry came close to winning the DP World India Championship in New Delhi last week. After four rounds of thrilling golf at the Delhi Golf Club, Lowry tied for third place alongside Aaron Fitzpatrick and Thriston Lawrence.

While Lowry missed out on the opportunity to claim the title, he made sure to send a heartwarming message to the tournament winner, Tommy Fleetwood. On X (formerly Twitter), Lowry congratulated Fleetwood and summed up his memorable time in India. Shane Lowry wrote:

“Incredible week here in India, great people, great hospitality and some good golf too. Congrats to Tommy on another win. ☘️”

If Shane Lowry had won the DP World India Championship, it would have been his first professional victory since April 2024. Last year in April, Lowry teamed up with his good friend Rory McIlroy to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Billy Horschel suggests major PGA Tour tweaks to make ‘every event equal

Leave a comment

Billy Horschel, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour and one of the veterans in professional golf, has shared his thoughts on how the PGA Tour schedule and event structure could be improved. In a recent interview with Joseph LaMagna of Fried Egg Golf, Horschel suggested that the ideal PGA Tour season should consist of about 25 events, with all tournaments offering equal prize money and featuring a 120-player field.

“Ideally I think you have about 25 events per year, and I would make every event equal,” Horschel said. “I don’t know if it actually works where every event has the same purse and offers the same number of points because when you go to bigger markets like Chicago, Philly, New York, Boston, LA, they are going to put up more money because it’s a bigger market and they want to be the premier event. But I say we go to a 25-event schedule where we try to make every event the same. Every tournament has a 120-man field. It’s a smaller tour, but it gives every member of the PGA Tour the full ability to play all 25 events.”

He went on to explain his perspective on tournament entry as a full-status member of the Tour: “From the time I got on Tour, I’ve always said that it’s weird to not be guaranteed a spot in every open PGA Tour event as a member of the Tour.” Horschel believes that guaranteeing all full-status members a spot in each event would benefit not only the players but also the PGA Tour as a whole.

Currently, the PGA Tour features eight Signature Tour events, with more than half being limited-field, no-cut tournaments. Even in the other tournaments, not all professionals get a chance to earn the big payouts. This format has received mixed responses from players, with many expressing disappointment at the limited opportunities.

### Billy Horschel to Host Amateur Golf Event

In addition to sharing his views on the Tour format, Billy Horschel is set to host the Billy Horschel Invitational, an APGA Tour event taking place on October 21 and 22 at the Concession Golf Club in Manatee County, Florida.

The tournament will feature an 18-player field competing for a $150,000 purse. The practice round is scheduled for Monday, October 20, with the first round beginning on Tuesday at 8 a.m. ET.

Horschel was last seen competing at the Baycurrent Classic, where he finished tied for 54th. Earlier this year, he underwent right hip surgery that sidelined him for several months. Since his return, he has played just two events and is still striving to regain his rhythm on the course.

Frankie makes much-awaited tour return at Del Monte stop

Leave a comment

A lot of eyes will be on three Bukidnon natives when the P3.5 million ICTSI Del Monte Championship gets underway on Tuesday.

Two of them have been given more than a fair chance to prevail as the Philippine Golf Tour enters its concluding three-leg swing in Mindanao.

However, the third native, arguably the biggest pro, adds an interesting dynamic to the competition.

Youmin Hwang birdies 5 of final 6 holes to win first LPGA Tour title in Hawaii

Leave a comment

HONOLULU (AP) — Youmin Hwang captured her first LPGA Tour victory on Sunday at the LOTTE Championship, making a strong late surge to extend the season-opening streak without a repeat winner to 25 tournaments.

A member of the Korean LPGA, Hwang competed on a sponsor invite and finished with a 5-under 67 at breezy Hoakalei Country Club. She birdied the final four holes and five of the last six to secure a one-shot victory over Hyo Joo Kim.

“Thanks to LOTTE’s support, I can be here and win,” Hwang said.

At just 22 years old and a non-member of the LPGA Tour, Hwang now has the option to accept immediate membership or defer it until next season. This win came in her sixth career LPGA start and fourth event of the season, after having made the weekend cuts in major U.S. tournaments.

Hwang was tied for the lead with Kim and Minami Katsu after birdieing the par-4 17th, then gained an advantage when both Katsu and Kim bogeyed the same hole in the group behind her. On the par-5 18th, Hwang’s second shot went through the green into the rough, but she recovered with a chip to within a foot and tapped in for birdie.

She finished the tournament at 17-under 271.

Hwang started the week strong with a career-best 62 on Thursday, opening a three-stroke lead. However, she shot a 75 on Friday, which dropped her into a tie for second place, just one shot behind Akie Iwai. Kim closed with a 68 after birdieing the 18th hole, while Katsu finished third at 15 under following a 69.

Canada’s Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ontario, finished in a four-way tie for 28th at 7 under, 10 shots behind the winner. Fellow Canadian Alena Sharp of Hamilton tied for 57th at 1 under.

World No. 2 Nelly Korda ended with a 69 to finish three shots back at 17 under, alongside Peiyun Chien (70), Jessica Porvasnik (70), and Akie Iwai (71). Despite coming off a season with seven victories, Korda is yet to win this year.

“Overall, I’m putting myself into contention,” Korda said. “It’s definitely an interesting year for me result-wise, but at the end of the day, I’m giving it 100 percent, controlling what I can control, and I’m happy with that.”

The LPGA Tour now moves to Asia for the next five consecutive weeks, with tournaments scheduled in Shanghai, South Korea, Malaysia, and Japan.

Keegan Bradley SNAPS at press conference as America spirals at Ryder Cup amid fan chaos

Leave a comment

A bristling Keegan Bradley refused to condemn the appalling abuse hurled at Europe’s stars during a fiery second day of the Ryder Cup.

The tournament took an ugly turn on Saturday when fans and players alike came close to blows on a tense day marked by hostile behavior and crass abuse. On a day when the notorious New Yorkers finally found their voice — for better and definitely for worse — Europe continued to humiliate the Americans on their own turf, taking a historic seven-point lead into the final day at Bethpage Black.

However, the carnage from the infamously rabid New York sports fans that had long been prophesized finally reared its ugly head at the Ryder Cup. Personalized abuse was hurled at the European stars — public enemy No. 1 Rory McIlroy in particular — before the players themselves began lashing out in retaliation. Bethpage almost witnessed a repeat of the renowned caddie spat of Marco Simone on a highly charged, frantic afternoon.

But Keegan Bradley refused to condemn the bedlam, characterizing it as passion from the home supporters.

“I thought the fans were passionate,” he told reporters. “I mean, their home team is getting beat bad. You know, they are passionate fans. I wasn’t at Rome, but I heard a lot of stories that Rome was pretty violent as well.

“But the fans of New York, from what I have seen, have been pretty good. You’re always going to have a few people that cross the line, and that’s unfortunate. I was happy to see our players trying to quiet down some people that were like that.”

Bradley then appeared to suggest that some of the blame lay with his team and their failure to rise to the occasion.

“Part of it our fault,” he added. “We are not playing up to the standards that they want to see, and they are angry, and they should be.”

However, he performed a hasty U-turn when pressed further on the issue, insisting he did not hold his players responsible.

“I did not say that. That’s not what I said,” he defiantly said after being questioned on his comment. “I said the fans are probably upset that their home team is losing. I did not say that.”

He further snapped at a reporter who pointed to players such as Collin Morikawa, who had called for “chaos” from the crowd earlier in the week.

“I don’t appreciate those words that you just said. I know what you’re trying to do,” he bit back. “The Ryder Cup is full of passionate fans. They’re full of passionate players. And that wasn’t right.”

On Friday’s opening day, the New Yorkers’ reputation appeared to be all bark and no bite. But on Saturday, they had sharpened their teeth.

The home supporters not only crossed the line—they barreled over it with their particularly vile insults at McIlroy and his wife, Erica, which led to a series of ejections.

Sources told The Daily Mail that extra security had to be rushed to McIlroy and Shane Lowry’s match against Justin Thomas and Cameron Young shortly after McIlroy refused to continue playing until “they shut up.”

Shane Lowry also snapped at a fan, with the unsavory incident caught on camera. It was unclear what was said to leave the Irishman so angry or if the insult was aimed at him or McIlroy, but he appeared to be held back by his caddie before pointing the fan out to security to have them removed.

However, Europe’s Luke Donald insisted the highly charged atmosphere only fueled his players’ drive.

“Things got tougher out there, and it fired them up even more,” the European captain said. “They were able to get better through those difficult moments out there. That is what makes me most proud as a captain — just their ability to take the punches and come back even stronger.”

“It was loud. It was raucous,” he added. “What I consider crossing the line is personal insults and making sounds when they are trying to hit on their backswings or very close to when they are trying to go into their routines. That did happen a little bit. It’s happened at other Ryder Cups, too.

“It’s something we prepared for, and I can see how well they have dealt with it.”

Around the 12th tee, police told The Daily Mail they were instructed to stay with Bryson DeChambeau’s group due to fears of tension spilling over. Three holes later, tensions indeed boiled over.

The American and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler were trailing 3-down to Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose on the 15th when, for a second straight Ryder Cup, a player and caddie became embroiled in a fiery exchange.

In scenes reminiscent of McIlroy’s greenside row with Patrick Cantlay’s bagman, Joe LaCava, from Rome, Rose appeared unhappy with DeChambeau’s caddie, Greg Bodine, walking onto the green as he lined up a putt. Rose still holed the putt but on the walk to the 16th, Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, and European vice-captain Franco Molinari began arguing, with Fleetwood standing between them.

Fleetwood also appeared to exchange words with DeChambeau on his way off the 15th green.
