(AP) — David Frost never flinched in his showdown with Hall of Famer Fred Couples even with his first major championship on the line and a late rain delay to ponder the stakes. Frost parred the final two holes to hold on for a one-stroke victory over Couples on Sunday in the Regions Tradition, the South African's first major title in 17 a...

(AP) — David Frost has the lead and Fred Couples draws the biggest crowds. They'll lead the pack into the final round of the Regions Tradition with an early start and a sizable contingent of contenders.

(AP) — Jeff Sluman and Fred Couples are hoping for more days like Thursday, when the wind was down and the rain and bogeys stayed away. Sluman birdied No. 17 en route to a 7-under 65 and a one-stroke lead over Couples after the first round in the Regions Tradition, the second of five Champions Tour majors.

He'll have to do that again to dig himself out of a deep hole and defend his title. Woods fought gusting winds, an occasionally errant shot and a balky putter during a second-round 2-over 74 on Frid...

Several hours later, Tiger Woods left a lot of shots out on the rolling greens of Muirfield Village and 14-year-old Chinese amateur Guan Tianlang added to his impressive list of American adventures.

Schwartzel hit the ball so consistently well at Muirfield Village that the former Masters champion twice had stretches of four straight birdies. And when he made a double bogey with an 8-iron in hand and his ball on a tee toward the end of the rou...

And the most honest. The world's No. 2 golfer was asked why Tiger Woods has won five times at the Memorial Tournament. "The same reason he's done so well everywhere, I guess," McIlroy said, prompting loud laughter. Woods' dominance isn't necessarily a laughing matter for the rest of the...

(AP) — Tiger Woods was nine shots out of the lead, not the best position at The Players Championship, especially since he had not even started his round.

Facing the infamous island-green on No. 17 for the first time in competition, Castro left a 9-ir...

AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) — About the only thing Fred Couples and Colin Montgomerie had in common was a golf swing good enough to trust for a lifetime. Couples became the first American to reach No. 1 in the world and won the Masters by a blade of grass that kept his ball from trickling into Rae's Creek. Montgomerie found fame on the European Tour, where h...

(AP) — Think of it as power couples instead of Fred Couples. Some of the talk Thursday at the Masters wasn't just about what was happening on the tees and greens, but who was outside the ropes looking in. The No. 1 and No. 2-ranked players in the world, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, had entourages that included girlfriends with some pedigree ...

(AP) — The first tee shot clattered through a pair of pines on the left side of the 13th fairway, finally landing on the wrong side of Rae's Creek. Tiger Woods tried again, and this wasn't any better. Fans peered across the fairway and only heard the ball rifle through some bushes. "He's hitting another one," a man announced from the gallery....

He could barely see the pin on the elevated green from about 180 yards away. All the fans could see was a figure dressed in black, and his golf ball settlin...

For the opening two rounds, Geoff Ogilvy chose to hit iron off the tee on the 315-yard 10th hole at Riviera to the far left side of the fairway. That's the best angle into the skinny, diagonal green protected ...

Adam Scott has been so far removed from the game that he didn't learn about Phil Mickelson's cruel lipout for a 59 until he finished his pro-am round Wednesday at Riviera. "Was it a big lipout?
