It wasn’t the most high-profile cancellation—that goes to the Open Championship—but the nixing of last year’s U.S. Open qualifying process proved a bitterly disappointing casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic. The opportunity to play your way into “golf’s toughest test” is part of the fabric of the national championship, but the logistics of staging umpteen local
It’s rare that a two-foot putt is highlight-reel worthy, let alone at a junior golf tournament. But add in a fluke injury and the fact it was made by the son of one of the world’s best players, and, well, here we are. On Monday night, Ian Poulter shared a video of his son, Luke,

SAN FRANCISCO — Mid-way through the final round of the U.S. Women’s Open, it was likely hard for Yuka Saso to imagine she would be the one holding the Harton S. Semple Trophy at day’s end. Saso, a 19-year-old who plays on the Japan LPGA, had made two double bogeys on the front nine at
SAN FRANCISCO — Lexi Thompson managed to tell herself to smile. After all, that’s what all the work she’d done with herself was about. Be positive. Be grateful. Do not beat yourself up. So, when she walked off the 18th hole at The Olympic Club on Sunday afternoon, every fiber of her body no doubt
