7:41 PM ET ESPN News Services ORLANDO, Fla. — Lee Westwood made a pair of 30-foot putts over the final three holes Saturday, one for eagle and the other a closing birdie, posting his lowest score ever at Bay Hill with a 7-under 65 that gave him a one-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau and Corey

ORLANDO — Well, he finally did it. Sort of. Bryson DeChambeau has been toying with the idea of trying to drive the green on the par-5 sixth hole at Bay Hill all week. He attempted the straight-line carry—to the front edge from the tee box, it’s about 340 yards in the air—in the practice round

One early morning not long ago, Scottsdale-based golf course architect David Kahn and his wife, Karen, were woken by their 10-year-old daughter Makenzie calling to them from the hallway outside their bedroom. “Daddy, Mommy, there’s something wrong with my foot!” she yelled. Groggy from sleep, David went to the hall to find Makenzie sitting on

7:11 PM ET Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. — Corey Conners spent more time grinding out pars than chasing birdies, and that proved to be the right recipe Friday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational as Bay Hill began to bake under a warm sun. Conners surged into the lead with a 25-foot eagle putt on the

Give this to Phil Mickelson. The 50-year-old has been, at times, a carnival barker throughout his career, but at least Phil attempts whatever outlandish thing he said he could do. Bringing us to Bryson DeChambeau, who spoke of his desire to drive Bay Hill’s winding par-5 sixth hole this week. As crazy as that may

Mar 2, 2021 So this NFL rookie kicker walks into a pro shop … Sounds like the beginning of a joke, right? But if a Josh Scobee movie was ever made, that would be the very first golf scene. At one point, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ all-time leading scorer was the top-ranked golfer from another sport.

A man who lives in Rolling Hills Estates, Calif., told Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies that he walked to the crash site near his home and did not get an immediate response from Woods when he asked him questions. Law enforcement had not previously reported that Woods was unconscious. Carlos Gonzalez, the first deputy at

Will he or won’t he? That is the question, and it’s one that will be asked at least one-to-three more times this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. On Wednesday, he did. He being Bryson DeChambeau, who attempted to drive the par-5 sixth green at Bay Hill. His first two attempts were unsuccessful, and he

7:10 AM ET The break is short — the shortest ever, actually. It was November when the Masters was last played, part of a wildly altered 2020 major championship schedule forced by the coronavirus pandemic.

Despite his recent form, the consensus this week—at least among those who have a financial interest in the Arnold Palmer Invitational—was that Jordan Spieth would hit a mini road bump in his comeback tour. Having never played in the tournament before, plus carrying a faulty driver, spelled doom at Bay Hill, where there’s trouble everywhere,

7:14 AM ET With all that’s happened in golf, from Tiger Woods‘ car crash to Jordan Spieth‘s resurgence to Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson winning again, it’s almost hard to remember another Masters is almost here. But it’s one month from Masters week, with the tournament at Augusta National back in its traditional April spot

Rory McIlroy has become a mainstay on the Bay Hill leader board in recent years at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. After not playing in the event until 2015, the four-time major champ has finished T-11 or better in five of his six starts, including top-six finishes the past four years and a win in 2018.

The island green at TPC Sawgrass comes with a few ready-made adjectives. Famous. Is No. 17 the most notorious hole in American golf? If not, it’s safely inside the top five. Foreboding. Nobody wins the Players Championship without making his peace at the island green, and we’ve seen dreams shattered in the surrounding water. Feared.
