  • Golf roundup: Phil Mickelson has two-shot lead at Quail Hollow

    Phil Mickelson has figured out the secret to the greens at Quail Hollow. Or maybe he's just had a lot of good bounces for two days. Mickelson opened with a pair of 15-foot birdie putts, dropped in a 40-foot putt at the turn, and made back-to-back birdies late in his round Friday. He finished with a 5-under 67 for a two-shot lead going into the weekend at the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, N.C. Quail Hollow, renowned for pristine conditions, had everything go wrong with spring and wound up with putting surfaces that are mostly choppy with brown patches where the grass has died. Two greens were entirely replaced by sod last week. Despite that, Mickelson has taken only 50 putts in two rounds. And the most staggering statistic of all? He hasn't missed from inside 10 feet.

  • Rory McIlroy opens with 67 at Wells Fargo

    For all the talk about the greens, Rory McIlroy's most important club was his driver Thursday in the Wells Fargo Championship. McIlroy kept the ball in play at Quail Hollow and gave himself plenty of birdie chances on a cloudy, soft afternoon in Charlotte, N.C. He ran off six birdies in a seven-hole stretch around the turn and finished with an 8-foot birdie putt for a 5-under-par 67 to share the lead with six others. It was the first time this year McIlroy has been atop the leaderboard after any round, and the first time he broke par in the opening round. ''Now that I feel like I'm swinging it well, this is the sort of golf I expect to play,'' McIlroy said.(   05/03/2013 12:00 AM )

  • Arlington's Kelsey Hoffman and Littleton's Emily Everdell forces on lacrosse field at Franklin & Marshall

    Exhibiting athleticism and poise, Arlington's Kelsey Hoffman has earned conference defensive player of the week honors three times as the starting goalie for the Franklin & Marshall women's lacrosse team this season. Showcasing her speed and a powerful shot, sophomore attack Emily Everdell of Littleton is the program's third-leading scorer. Together, the two give head coach Mike Faith a great 1-2 punch at opposite ends of the field -- two reasons that a Centennial Conference tournament title and NCAA Division 3 berth are within reach for F&P. The 13-3 Diplomats, ranked sixth nationally, takes on Haverford College Saturday in a Centennial semifinal. Hoffman (Buckingham, Browne & Nichols) has a 49.8 save percentage while Everdell (Acton-Boxborough Regional) has racked up 30 goals. (   05/02/2013 1:19 AM )

  • Vijay Singh withdraws from PGA Wells Fargo Championship

    Vijay Singh withdrew from the Wells Fargo Championship because of a sore back on Wednesday, one day after the PGA Tour said it would not punish the Fijian for his admission that he used deer antler spray. The tour said Tuesday the World Anti-Doping Agency informed it that the spray contains only small amounts of a growth hormone factor that is banned under the anti-doping policy. The tour had been set to sanction Singh until WADA clarified its position on deer antler spray. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said Tuesday that while admission is tantamount to a failed drug test, WADA informed the tour late last week that it no longer considers deer antler spray to be prohibited except for a positive test result.(   05/02/2013 12:00 AM )

  • Francis Ouimet centennial celebration planned

    Francis Ouimet is considered the first American golf hero as a result of his stunning victory in the 1913 US Open at The Country Club in Brookline. To increase awareness of Ouimet's contributions to the sport, a Centennial Gala will be held May 15 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, kicking off a series of events as part of "Ouimet 100.'' The event will feature Arnold Palmer, Peter Jacobsen, author Mark Frost, and movie director Bill Paxton as well as master of ceremonies Rich Lerner. Paxton's movie based on the book by Frost, "The Greatest Game Ever Played,'' chronicled Ouimet's great upset over Britain's Harry Vardon and Ted Ray. The accomplishment is widely referred to as the birth of golf in the US.(   05/02/2013 12:00 AM )

  • Billy Horschel wins Zurich Classic for first PGA Tour victory

    Billy Horschel shot an 8-under 64 in the final round of the Zurich Classic, maintaining his composure through a pair of weather delays for his first-career PGA Tour victory on Sunday in Avondale, La. The 26-year-old former Florida Gator began the day two shots behind third-round leader Lucas Glover and surged into the lead with six straight birdies after the first weather delay. He finished at 20 under, narrowly holding off Shell Houston Open winner D.A. Points (65) by a shot. The second delay happened before Horschel could take his second shot on the 18th hole, giving him 50 minutes to reflect on what was at stake -- $1.19 million and a two-year exemption. Kyle Stanley shot a 67 to finish third, while Chinese 14-year-old amateur Guan Tianlang finished 71st after making his second cut in two PGA events, the first coming famously at the Masters.(   04/28/2013 10:32 PM )

  • Lucas Glover takes 2-stroke lead into final round of Zurich Classic

    Lucas Glover increased his lead to two strokes in the Zurich Classic to remain in position for his first victory in two years. The 2009 U.S. Open winner shot a 2-under 70 on Saturday to reach 14 under at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, La. ''Some windier conditions than expected,'' Glover said. ''But started up one, now I'm up two, so can't be too upset. The good stuff is still there.'' Kyle Stanley, Jimmy Walker, Billy Horschel, and D.A. Points were tied for second. Stanley had a 65, Walker and Horschel shot 66, and Points had a 70. Guan Tianlang, the 14-year-old Chinese amateur, shot a 77 to drop to 2 over -- last among the 71 players who made the cut. He tied for 58th two weeks ago in the Masters after becoming the youngest player to make the cut at Augusta National, and will play in a U.S. Open qualifier in two weeks in Dallas. ''It's always nice to close with a birdie,'' Glover said. ''I would have liked to have had one better but that was a pretty average putt.'' (   04/28/2013 4:03 AM )
