The Rocket Mortgage Classic is a new event on the PGA Tour schedule, so it’s fitting that Ping is introducing a new club to its tour staff this week, the Glide 3.0 wedge. The wedges, which are being shown to the company’s tour staff at Detroit Golf Club, have four sole options. In addition to

Stanford won its eighth NCAA Championship this May when it knocked off Texas at Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Ark.

CHASKA, Minn. — No one would have picked Hannah Green to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship — not even herself. She admitted in the media center after her victory on Sunday, the trophy shining next to her, that she knew it sounded bad, but at the beginning of the week the 114th-ranked player in
The closing hole on the Golfclub Munchen Eichenreid course is a 568-yard par 5 that doglegs sharply right-to-left around a water hazard. As such it is not a hole that suits Andrea Pavan. Not up to hitting driver, the 30-year-old Italian used his trusty 3-wood from that 18th tee six times during the BMW International
6:41 PM ET Associated Press CHASKA, Minn. — Hannah Green has a one-shot lead going into the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and fresh evidence that going after her first LPGA Tour victory at a major won’t be easy.
