(AP) — Derek Ernst didn't come out of nowhere to win the Wells Fargo Championship. He actually was driving a rental car toward Athens, Ga., the fourth alternate who figured he might as well spend the week playing in the minor leagues. He wound up a playoff winner at Quail Hollow with a game that wins anywhere. It's easy to get caught up in...

(AP) — One phone call changed his plans. One shot changed a whole lot more for Derek Ernst. Six days after Ernst received a call that he was in the Wells Fargo Championship as the fourth alternate, the 22-year-old rookie found himself one shot out of the lead and 192 yards away from the flag on the 18th hole, the toughest at Quail Hollow i...

(AP) — Phil Mickelson's ball was just above the edge of the cart path, slightly below his feet, when he decided to hit a hard fade around the trees toward the green. The shot went out-of-bounds and cost him the outright lead Saturday in the Wells Fargo Championship, and Mickelson was angry about his decision. He felt he should have hit dri...

(AP) — The bunker shot showed the magic of Phil Mickelson. He blasted out of the sand with so much side spin that the ball landed about 5 feet to the right of the flag on the 14th green at Quail Hollow and wound up 5 feet on the other side. He still had to make the putt, and nothing comes easily this week at the Wells Fargo Championship. E...

(AP) — 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 goin...

(AP) — 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. He ran off six birdies in a seven-hole stretch around the turn and finished with an 8-foot...

(AP) — One year ago, Jason Dufner's victory at the Zurich Classic made him the fifth player in the last eight years to celebrate his maiden PGA Tour triumph in New Orleans. This weekend, Dufner will try to become the first repeat winner in the Big Easy since Carlos Franco in 2000. But even if Dufner remains beset by the inconsistency that ha...

(AP) — Tiger Woods still has a chance to win the Masters. Most of his fellow players seem OK with that. Woods was assessed a two-stroke penalty Saturday before he went out for the third round of the Masters, a ruling that stirred plenty of debate because of the way it was handled by Augusta National.

(AP) — Lee Westwood's mum walked away from the ninth hole, waving her hand in front of her face on a balmy spring day. "I feel sorry for the caddies," Trish Westwood said with a flushed smile. At least she wasn't wearing white coveralls and hauling around heavy bags as the mercury climbed into the mid-80s Wednesday. Still, there was nowhere e...

(AP) — He didn't miss a putt inside 15 feet. He watched good shots and answered with better ones. He ran off a string of birdies to pull away. That's how Tiger Woods won his last tournament.

(AP) — Justin Rose started out as another guy in Tiger Woods' group Thursday at Bay Hill. He wound up in the lead. Rose put on a clinic with the putter and ran off four straight birdies late in his round for a 7-under 65, giving him a two-shot lead after the opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

(AP) — Defending champion Luke Donald was angry about three bogeys over the last four holes that ruined a great round Thursday in the Tampa Bay Championship.

Lowry became a footnote in the 15-year history of this most fickle golf tournament on Friday when he became the first No. 64 seed to make it into the third...

His record eighth victory at Torrey Pines was all but over when Woods ripped a 5-iron from 244 yards over the corner of a bunker and onto the green at the par-5 13th hole, setting up a two-putt birdie that gave him an eight shot lead in the Farmers Insurance O...
