Masters Champion McIlroy and Partner Lowry Six Shots Behind at Zurich Classic Halfway Point

Defending champions Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry remain six shots off the lead at the halfway stage of the Zurich Classic after dropping three late shots in their second round in New Orleans. The Irish pair, attempting to become the first team to defend the title successfully, began the day six strokes behind following their opening eight-under-par fourball round of 64. They appeared poised to close the gap after playing their first 12 holes on Friday in six under par in the foursomes format but stumbled with bogeys on their final two holes to card a 69. American rookies Kevin Velo and Isaiah Salinda maintained their lead after also shooting a 69. "We were six under through 12 and cruising, and then a bit of a bad finish, but I didn't feel like we played that badly to have the […]

R&A Considering Turnberry’s Return as Open Championship Venue

The R&A would "love" to bring the Open Championship back to Trump Turnberry, but logistics rather than ownership are the primary concern, according to new chief executive Mark Darbon. A feasibility study has been commissioned to assess whether the Ayrshire venue and surrounding area can accommodate the massive crowds a modern Open attracts. BBC Sport reports the UK government has recently inquired about the R&A's position. Turnberry's iconic Ailsa Course last hosted the Open in 2009, five years before Donald Trump purchased the resort. Darbon acknowledged the R&A is "blessed to have such a wonderful pool of venues that can stage the Open Championship." "At Turnberry, we face some logistical and commercial challenges around the road, rail, and accommodation infrastructure," he explained. "We're doing some feasibility work around what it would look like to return to that venue and the […]

Golf Superstar’s Trophy Could Inspire Struggling Red Devils, Says Coach

Amorim Invites Masters Champion McIlroy to Bring Green Jacket to Old Trafford Manchester United manager Amorim has invited Rory McIlroy to bring his Masters Green Jacket to Old Trafford, hoping it might inspire his underperforming team. McIlroy, a United supporter who recently completed a career grand slam at Augusta National, had suggested he would take his Green Jacket to the stadium "if it can inspire some better play." Responding through Manchester United's official X account, Amorim welcomed the Northern Irishman: "Hi Rory. Congratulations for the Masters and I want to invite you to Old Trafford to show your trophy. It's really important for us in this moment. You achieved something that a lot of people thought would be impossible, and we want that feeling in our stadium. So I hope to see you soon at Old Trafford and to meet […]

McIlroy’s 2025 Season: What Could Surpass His Masters Triumph?

Even after the incredible drama of his career Grand Slam-completing Masters victory, Rory McIlroy's 2025 golf season still holds numerous possibilities that could potentially match that memorable achievement. McIlroy is scheduled to return to competition next week in New Orleans, where he and close friend Shane Lowry will defend their Zurich Classic title, an event that doesn't award world ranking points. The Northern Irishman's Augusta triumph significantly reduced Scottie Scheffler's world rankings lead from 4.18 to 2.81 points, though the world number one still maintains a comfortable advantage. The duo has established a considerable gap ahead of third-ranked Xander Schauffele, the reigning Open and US PGA champion, who trails McIlroy by 3.76 points. With McIlroy skipping this week's RBC Heritage in South Carolina, Scheffler, who finished just three strokes behind in fourth place at Augusta despite not being in serious […]
