Guan, who last month became the youngest player to make the cut in a major championship when he finished 58th at the Masters, has accepted an exemption to play at the Memorial Tournament next week.

(AP) — Adam Scott barely had time to think about an Australian in a green jacket when a sudden roar from the 18th green and a quick look at the TV reminded him it's never been easy. Not for him in the majors. And certainly not for the Aussies at Augusta National. He thought for a second it was over when he made a 20-foot birdie putt, the kind...

Cabrera forced a playoff with a brilliant 7-iron to 3 feet on the 72nd hole of the Masters, but he lost to Adam Scott on the second hole of a playoff when the Australian rolled in a 12-foot putt. ...

After matching birdies on the 72nd hole, the players returned to No. 18 for the playoff and made pars. That sent them to No. 10, where Cabrera just m...

But not Tiger Woods. Nicklaus said he's never had a sit-down with the man who is trying to break his records. In fact, he said t...

(AP) — No other major championship has a greater collection of signature shots than the Masters, mainly because it's the only major held on the same course. And it helps that Augusta National is such a course that allows for such big moments. There was the "shot heard 'round the world" and a shot right out of "Bubba golf." There has been an e...

He played a practice round with a teenager from China who wasn't even born when Woods won his first Masters. He was introduced at his news conference Tuesday as playing the Masters for the 19th time, which caused Woods to bow his hea...

(AP) — One of the most popular labels in golf is the best player to have never won a major, which can be looked at two ways. The bad news is that it means a player has never won a major. The good news is that he's at least thought highly enough to be considered. The best player at Augusta National to have never won the Masters? That stings a ...
