The post Why the week’s most relatable golfer was not a club-throwing Charles Barkley appeared first on Golf.

Most weeks, televised golf looks like an unfamiliar sport.

The shots fly higher, stop quicker and bend in ways the rest of us can only dream of emulating. We may play by the same rules, but we get nowhere near the same results.

Every now and then, though, the universe rips open, parallel worlds collide and the game broadcast into our homes becomes almost … recognizable.

This weekend was one of those times.

Across the Atlantic, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler approximated a mere mortal at the Genesis Scottish Open by missing the cut for the first time in 78 starts. At the Evian Championship in France, meanwhile, Nelly Korda put up the putting numbers of a mid-handicapper — she took 64 of them over two days — to wind up with a rare weekend off herself. Last but not least, along the shores of Lake Tahoe, Charles Barkley, the world’s most famously improved bad golfer, reverted to his old ways, piling up bogeys before punctuating a miserable hole with a club-flinging fit after a chunked chip.

Talk about kindred spirits.

But the week’s most relatable story didn’t belong to Scheffler, Korda or Sir Charles.

It belonged to Aaron Wise.

Not because he played poorly. The opposite, in fact. Wise got it around quite nicely, firing his way into Sunday’s final pairing with Lucas Glover at the ISCO Championship in Louisville and fighting to the finish, falling shy of a playoff by a single shot.

It wasn’t the near miss that resonated, though. It was everything that came before it: the openness and introspection of a player who has spent the past few years confronting challenges that had nothing to do with his swing.

What would it mean to him, he was asked late Saturday afternoon, if he could get back in the winner’s circle for the first time in more than eight years?

“I feel a long ways from there but it would mean the world,” Wise said. “That’s the dream when I was going through what I was going through. That’s the end goal and the dream. There was a lot of times I never knew if I would even be able to play out here again, so to have that opportunity’s amazing.”

What a long and arduous trip it’s been.

After winning the NCAA individual title in 2016, Wise turned professional and wasted little time making good on his promise. He captured the 2018 Byron Nelson in just his 26th PGA Tour start, earned Rookie of the Year honors that season and climbed as high as No. 33 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Then the trajectory changed.

Just days before the 2023 Masters, Wise announced that he was withdrawing from Augusta National to focus on his mental health, acknowledging that the game had become an overwhelming psychological strain. He made only a handful of starts over the next two seasons as he stepped away from full-time competition to focus on getting well.

His return has been gradual.

This week marked only his eighth PGA Tour start of the 2026 season, and his second made cut of the year. But the encouraging signs extended beyond the leaderboard.

Through his comeback, Wise has spoken of a journey that has taken far longer than he expected. There was a point, he noted, when competing had become “harmful,” when he no longer recognized himself or enjoyed playing. Time away, along with the help of people he met during his break, allowed him to develop healthier ways of managing the pressures that come with playing for a living.

The work, he said, helped him rediscover something he’d lost: the simple enjoyment of the game.

“I look at tomorrow morning as whatever happens, it’s just going to be a learning experience,” Wise said on Saturday. “I’m going to stick to my process, do what I’ve been doing and then look at it after tomorrow ends and chips fall where they do and try to learn from it for the future.”

On Sunday, Wise stepped onto the first tee of the HCC Championship Course with the same caddie he has leaned on for much of the season: his wife, Reagan.

“It’s really just a comfort thing for me,” he said before the round. “It’s someone I feel like I can trust and just enjoy spending my time out there with.”

Sunday unfolded the way golf often does. There were mistakes, recoveries and opportunities. Wise hung around all afternoon, needing birdie on the last to make a playoff that was ultimately won by Steven Fisk, who edged Taylor Penrith on the third extra hole.

Wise walked off with a tie for third. Not a win, but a victory of a different kind.

In a week when some of golf’s biggest names did their best impressions of the rest of us with wayward irons, three-putts, chunked chips and club-tosses, Wise came off as something even more familiar: a golfer on the course astride a close companion, wrestling with ordinary human questions, trying to do his best but also understanding that there’s more to the game than what you shoot.

The post Tom Kim’s clubs: Scottish Open provides rare blade putter win appeared first on Golf.

Tom Kim is back in the PGA Tour winners’ circle after three years, firing a dazzling final-round 64 on Sunday to win the Genesis Scottish Open.

Kim earns his fourth career victory and thrusts himself back into the spotlight as one of the game’s great young players at just 24.

The victory is also an increasingly rare event on the PGA Tour as Kim won with the same Scotty Cameron blade putter he used in his first victory at the 2022 Wyndham Championship. Kim is just the second player this season to win with a blade putter, joining Matt Fitzpatrick, who has three victories.

Kim has used many different putters since his early career success, including both blades and mallets, but maintains that his best performances are with blades. This week, he was 20th in the field, picking up 3.658 strokes on the greens.

The South Korean was also impressive off the tee this week, ranking 9th in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee (3.079). Kim was an early convert to Titleist’s new GTS3 driver, switching at the Valero Texas Open. In testing, Kim saw more consistent spin windows and an increase in ball speed.

While Kim likes to see the ball fall right, he actually adjusted the front weight track of his driver this week to move his start line just a touch more left, back toward neutral.

After taking two months to earn its first victory, the GTS driver line, which quickly became the hottest driver on Tour, now has three wins in the last six events.

This week, Kim also chose to employ both a GTS3 5-wood and a T200 2-iron by dropping his sand wedge, something we saw Tommy Fleetwood do as well. Kim has been going back and forth between three- and four-wedge setups this season, but the three-wedge setup allows him to keep two fairway woods and either a hybrid or a utility iron. The utility iron got the call for this week’s links setup.

The post This pro bet on himself. Now he’s in The Open appeared first on Golf.

NORTH BERWICK, Scotland — A funny thing happened Sunday at the Scottish Open: after a star-studded leaderboard had built throughout the week, a whole lot of the best players in the world left … disappointed. 

Rory McIlroy was caught on camera berating himself saying, “I’m so bad at golf.” Chris Gotterup’s title defense ended in a disappointing one-over final round. Scotland’s own Bob MacIntyre held the solo lead on the final day, only to mutter under his breath across four bogeys in seven holes, surrendering all hope. There was more frustration than happiness at Renaissance Club, it seemed. And then there were those three pregnant seconds when we saw total despair. 

Johnny Keefer, 25, had just played the best golf of his season, finishing T3 and earning one of three spots remaining in next week’s Open Championship. He took pictures with the yellow flags that will dot the course at Royal Birkdale next week. He did interviews with the widest grin imaginable. And then he listened as an R&A staffer leaned in close with 10 words.

“Oh, one other thing, Johnny. Have ye entered The Open?” 

Keefer’s face went from elation to anguish. Had he missed some deadline … for an event he was only hoping to play? His panic was palpable.

“Yeah, my heart rate probably spiked a little bit,” Keefer said moments later. “Probably could have played a little rookie card. There’s not many things that I know — he could have played a nice little prank on me.” 

Luckily, Keefer was assured, it’s all good, there’s a spot waiting for you. But now you do, indeed, need to formally sign up for next week’s Open, about 200 miles away on the west coast of England. The R&A were not out to play pranks. Rather, they were there to help make sure everyone had accommodations and transportation sorted. Keefer’s mind was still racing and non-committal when they offered him a late-night shuttle ride down to Southport. 

He’d be forgiven for being a step slow. Open Qualifying comes at you fast. And this was a week of newness for Keefer, who had never played links golf before July, 2026. He arrived Monday morning fresh off a redeye from the John Deere Classic, and instead of heading to Renaissance Club, he elected to make his links debut on the nearby North Berwick in 30 mph wind.

“You kind of get off the plane and try to tire yourself out in Edinburgh,” he said. “Then try to tire yourself out more at North Berwick, which is kinda hard because you’re like eyes wide open, this is sick. Conked out and then played two practice nines out here.” 

Oh, and then 72 holes in 13 under par and a top-3 finish. 

What Keefer now reaps is the result of betting on himself, something plenty of other pros balked at this week. For one reason or another, a dozen Tour pros with some status had the right to enter the Scottish Open, but ultimately withdrew from the field, many of them to stay back and play their more native style of American golf at the ISCO Championship. Taylor Pendrith, Chad Ramey, Chandler Phillips, Adrien Dumont de Chassart. Whether they were in pursuit of all-important FedEx Cup points, less travel or just familiar golf, they took a familiar route this week. Keefer considered it, too, but opted for something newer, riskier, more invigorating.

“If you have a good week, it’s better off over here than it is over there,” he said Sunday night. By which he means, a good week with a bigger purse and more points on offer — that’s better. 

“And yeah, it kind of paid off,” he continued. “It’s a little 2-for-1. Got more points and got a spot in The Open.” 

Where there’s even more money and points on offer. With that sorted, all that was left for him to figure out was where he’d be sleeping next week.

The post Tom Kim’s drought-snapping Scottish Open win ended with Tiger Woods text appeared first on Golf.

Three years isn’t a particularly long time unless you’re 24 and the golf world has spent much of it wondering what happened to your game.

Tom Kim arrived as a teenage sensation, turning professional at 15 and winning three times on the PGA Tour before he was old enough to legally rent a car. With a sparkling personality to match his game, he emerged as a fan favorite and seemed destined to become one of golf’s next global stars. Then came putting woes, an illness, a victory drought and, inevitably, questions.

On Sunday at the Genesis Scottish Open, Kim answered them emphatically, closing with a six-under 64 to finish at 17 under, two shots clear of Min Woo Lee for his first PGA Tour victory since the 2023 Shriners Children’s Open — one that made Kim just the fourth non-American player to win four PGA Tour events before the age of 25. The other three? Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, and Hideki Matsuyama.

“I’m trying to wrap my mind over it,” an emotional Kim said afterward. “The round I played today really has been a lot of work.”

Long regarded as one of the game’s brightest young talents, Kim saw his game slip over the past two seasons, a slide often attributed to a balky putter. After ranking among the Tour’s better performers on the greens early in his career, he slipped to 102nd in Strokes Gained: Putting. In 2024, he also withdrew from the Players Championship after falling ill with a mysterious illness that forced him to step away from the game.

Kim didn’t disappear entirely. His fiery play and emotional celebrations energized the International Team in two Presidents Cups. He also found himself in the prime-time spotlight as a member of Tiger Woods’ TGL squad. But when Sunday afternoons rolled around, Kim wasn’t showing up much on TV.

Signs of a resurgence became evident this year. A return to a familiar Scotty Cameron putter coincided with a tie for 15th at the RBC Canadian Open, followed by a third-place finish at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. If Kim’s game was rounding into shape, there was no better place for him to showcase it than at the Renaissance Club in Scotland, where he had already made happy memories. In 2022, he finished T-3 for his first top-10 on Tour, and added another strong showing with a T-17 last year.

“It’s really cool not just to win but to win this event,” Kim said. “This is where I had no status and I finished third to really give myself a chance and get myself out here. I’m at a loss for words.”

Given his role as a TGL staple, it was fitting that the first text Kim received after getting back in the winner’s circle was from Woods.

“Obviously playing TGL, being on Tiger’s team and being able to really ask him a lot of questions on certain things and he’s been really helpful a lot of the time,” Kim said after his win. “You know, this was my first win in three years and the first person that text me was Tiger Woods. It just shows you the type of person he is, how much he cares.”

Kim’s long road back was extended even further by a marathon Sunday. Though he was playing in the second-to-last group, he began the day shortly after sunrise to complete a third round that had been cut short by fog on Saturday. With clear, calm conditions replacing Saturday’s soupy air, he opened with a birdie and added two more before the turn.

In trying to keep pace with the modern power game during his winless stretch, Kim had sacrificed some of the precision that once defined his play. At the Renaissance Club, that version of Kim was back, carving up the course with the tidy tee-to-green game. Of the key shots, none was more crucial than a flushed four-iron from 205 yards on the par-4 16th, which settled five feet from the hole. Kim poured in the birdie putt to keep up a pace that his challengers couldn’t match.

Playing partners Chris Gotterup and Robert MacIntyre faltered early, while Rory McIlroy, after a third-round 73 that dulled his chances, matched Kim’s low round of the day, a 64, but never got close enough to apply serious pressure.

Kim’s victory also stood in contrast to that of one of his closest friends on Tour. Kim and Scottie Scheffler, who share a June 21 birthday and regularly play practice rounds together in Dallas, arrived in Scotland on very different trajectories. Scheffler missed the cut, his first in 78. Kim left with the trophy.

Check in every week for the unfiltered opinions of our writers and editors as they break down the hottest topics in the sport, and join the conversation by tweeting us at @golf_com. This week, we discuss the missed cuts of two World No. 1s and the other brewing storylines ahead of The Open Championship.

Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Genesis Scottish Open, ending what was the longest made-cut streak on the PGA Tour. Up next? The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Are you selling Scottie’s Open chances after his rough outing, or buying because it’s an outlier and now he’s even able to get to Royal Birkdale early?

Josh Schrock, associate news editor (@schrock_and_awe): I’m buying as much as I would’ve been pre-Scottish. As I wrote after he lost the Travelers to Viktor Hovland, Scottie has been more than a half-shot worse on approach this season. He is still the best player in the world but going from an otherworldly iron player to just pretty good has allowed a few others to sneak by him at their best. He didn’t play well in Scotland but I still think he’ll be in the mix at Birkdale. He’s not my pick, necessarily, but I would be stunned to see Scheffler play two tournaments in a row without being a factor. So, I’m gonna hold onto Scheffler Open stock.

Josh Sens, senior writer, (@joshsens): Schrock pretty much sums up my feelings. Scheffler on his ‘B’ game is still good enough to contend. If anything, this week’s missed cut stands to serve as extra motivation — the equivalent of bounce back after a bogey. 

Sean Zak, senior writer (@sean_zak): I recall the golf world freaking out about Scheffler’s putting exactly 12 months ago, when the Scottish Open didn’t go his way. How’d he respond? By winning at Portrush the next week. A couple extra prep days should sort him straight ahead of Thursday’s first round. 

What’s the best Open Championship storyline?

Schrock: There are two really obvious ones, but I’ll go off the board and say it’s not Tommy Fleetwood, nor Jordan Spieth. It’s Rory McIlroy. Now 37, McIlroy has really leaned into playing less, playing the tournaments he wants and throwing all his eggs into stacking up majors. He only has one Claret Jug (he should have two if not for Cam Smith). He’s been one of the best Open players of the last 20 years and it would feel weird if he doesn’t get a second. He’s only played four times since his Masters win but says that has him feeling fresh. He played well at the Scottish outside of the third round. With Scottie “struggling,” this feels like a prime opportunity for Rory to grab another major. He’s only got so many more chances on the horizon.

Sens: I’d add Scheffler to the list. The defending champ, looking to retain the title even as he searches for whatever is missing in his game.

Zak: It’s the kid from Southport playing the Open in Southport. How could it not be Tommy Fleetwood? He’s in very good form and has been looking to this week for … years now? Just listen to the people who know him best: 

One big Birkdale storyline is Tommy Fleetwood, the hometown kid who is still looking for his first major title. Although despite Tommy’s improved play over the past year (he moved up to as high as 3rd in the World Ranking at the beginning of the season) he hasn’t recorded a major top 10 in the last two years. At 35, is Fleetwood’s peak major window closing? Or just opening?

Schrock: I think it’s firmly open. He’s still a world-class ball-striker and I expect him to win one or two of these. But as we’ve seen with Rickie Fowler, sometimes the near-misses become forever misses and the window shuts. Would like to see some life from Tommy at Birkdale to show the major window is still as wide open as I think it is.

Sens: It’s still open but with every opportunity that slips by, that opening starts to look tighter and tighter. The flipside of being the hometown boy is the added pressure that comes with it. I don’t see that benefitting a guy of Fleetwood’s makeup. As great a player as he is, he always seems more comfortable in team play than he does as the lone guy in the spotlight, trying to win a biggie in stroke play.

Zak: I think that window really starts to close for guys when they turn 37 or 38. Fleetwood has a couple more years of absolute prime, I’d think. He’s basically played at this top-8 level for three straight years now, so there’s not much for signs that the door is closing just yet. 

Speaking of Fleetwood, does he hold the title of Best Player Without A Major right now? If not, who does?

Schrock: I want to say it’s Hovland but I think the clear answer is Cameron Young. He won the Players and had the lead at the Masters on Sunday. He’s No. 3 in the world and has clearly leveled up this year. Won’t be surprised to see him leave Birkdale with the Claret Jug and take his name off this list.

Sens: I’d go with Young as well. Our reigning Player’s Champion who has come agonizingly close in several majors already.

Zak: It’s Fleetwood. (Apologies for talking about him so much!) Young has been at this level for only a little while. I think that distinction often follows someone who’s been doing it a bit longer. But if we’re talking straight up most talented non-major winners, I nominate Ludvig Aberg.

It’s the last men’s major of the season; who is feeling the pressure the most?

Schrock: I feel like my answer to this question is always Jon Rahm. Ever since he left for LIV, our chances to see him compete against Scottie and Rory have been limited. He has contended at two PGAs since the move to LIV, but we’ve seen little else. With LIV having an uncertain future and Rahm’s future equally murky, it’s always important that he brings his best this week and potentially gets a third major.

Sens: Schrock takes the words out of my keyboard yet again. And again, I’ll add Scheffler to the list. On the one hand, he never really seems daunted – he’s too grounded for that— but he comes in off a rare missed cut as the defending champ, for the final major of what has been a disappointing season by his standards. This one’s got to feel just a bit bigger than usual for him.

Zak: Am I wrong to invoke Fleetwood again?!? He will feel things on Birkdale’s 1st tee that no one else will really feel this year. Or maybe even next year. Until Shane Lowry plays the 1st tee shot in the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, we won’t have the hometown, home legend story building quite like it has for Fleetwood this week. That’s incredible pressure. 

More surprising missed cut: Scheffler at the Genesis; or Nelly Korda, who up until her Evian Championship missed cut hadn’t finished worse than T8 (and with four wins and three runner-up finishes) in nine individual stroke-play events?

Schrock: It’s Nelly for me. She has a shaky history at the Evian but I very much expected her to at least be on the periphery. A missed cut wasn’t in the cards given how dominant she has been this season. As stated above, Scottie has been a tick below his normal self and when you add in links golf with some wind, sometimes you’re going to get a bad result when you don’t have your ‘A’ game. 

Sens: Scheffler. It had been nearly four years since he missed the weekend. That’s staggering.

Zak: By the look of his confused face Friday afternoon, I’ll say it was Scheffler’s missed cut that was most surprising. People forget that he was riding an even more impressive streak: 37 straight top-25 finishes (including a couple Hero World Challenges, FWIW). As Jon Rahm told me, it wasn’t the cuts made that are astonishing. It’s that every time he played, he seemed to have a chance to win.

The post A wayward shot stopped Rory McIlroy’s Scottish Open charge. Then came 5 words appeared first on Golf.

Rory McIlroy entered the weekend at the Scottish Open tied atop the leaderboard. He plays well at this event year in and year out. He won it in 2023 and admitted earlier this week that his relationship with the course has changed over the years.

“Definitely this course has grown on me as the years have went by,” McIlroy said. “When I first came here, I think just because you come to Scotland and you play so many great golf courses, there are so many great golf courses in this area, I think we sometimes jump to maybe not liking a course because of how new it is or maybe some greens are a bit too slopey or whatever. But I must say, over the years, it has grown on me a lot, and I think it’s sort of become a really good venue for this tournament.”

McIlroy opened the tournament with rounds of 65 and 66 to share the 36-hole lead. Then came a long Saturday wait. Due to a lengthy fog delay, McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick didn’t tee off until well into the evening. When he finally pegged it, the six-time major champion ran into some trouble, including a fatted tee shot on the par-3 fifth.

McIlroy opened his third round with three bogeys in seven holes before the horn blew to suspend play for the day. When he came back Saturday, he pieced it together and signed for a three-over 73 that seemingly took him out of the running for the title.

But McIlroy went to the range in between his rounds, found a quick fix and immediately started racing up the leaderboard in the final round. He went out in four-under 31 and then birdied 12 and 13 to get within one of the lead. Pars at 14 and 15 saw him reach the 16th tee two shots back and needing to hit the gas to have any hope of winning the title. McIlroy split the fairway with his tee shot, but then hit a massive pull with a 6-iron, prompting five very relatable words from the two-time defending Masters champion.

“Oh my God, I’m so bad at golf,” McIlroy exclaimed as the ball sailed well left into the heather.

McIlroy eventually bogeyed the 16th and finished at 12 under for the tournament, five shots back of winner Tom Kim.

Afterward, McIlroy joked that, while he is a six-time major champion with 45 professional wins, when the ball left the face of his 6-iron, he believed what he said.

“In that moment, the shot I hit with that 6-iron was a very, very poor golf shot, so in that moment, I was so bad at golf,” McIlroy said with a laugh.

McIlroy explained that his weekend troubles at The Renaissance Club were due to hitting balls in a left-to-right wind on the driving range. That’s a problem he ran into earlier this year at the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow Club.

“I just need to hit some balls in a right-to-left wind,” McIlroy said after his final round. “That usually helps me. Again, it’s the same thing that I get a lot when I start hitting balls in a left-to-right wind like it has been over the weekend. My path and my face just get too far apart, in terms of like my face is just the further left than my path is and I start hitting these left shots, especially with the irons.

“When the wind on the range is off the left, I just get into that bad habit of hitting it further left than the path at impact, and I start hitting left with my iron shots.”

McIlroy managed his left miss better in the final round and made a lot of putts, which helped him card another top-10 finish at the Scottish Open. While his Sunday charge at East Lothian came up short, thanks to the wayward iron on the 16th hole, a three-putt par on the 14th and an overall poor third round, McIlroy is confident as he heads to Royal Birkdale for next week’s Open Championship.

Confident but with edges to smooth out if he wants to win his seventh major championship and second Claret Jug.

“I am, of course. It’s nice to sign this week off with a good score but I know I need to do a bit of work between now and next Thursday to feel really comfortable with my game,” McIlroy said. “But I don’t feel like it’s too far away. There’s definitely some positive signs.”

Positive signs and hopefully a right-to-left wind on the range at Royal Birkdale.

The post An ace, tears and a playoff: How Haeran Ryu survived chaotic Sunday to win Evian appeared first on Golf.

As Haeran Ryu tallied up her scorecard on Saturday, she was shocked to see that she had just made major championship history at the Evian. Nine birdies and an eagle saw her post a third-round 11-under 60, the lowest ever score in a women’s major championship, to take a three-shot lead into Sunday’s final round.

Ryu, who won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship three weeks ago, was 18 holes away from winning consecutive major titles. It was in her grasp and felt like a foregone conclusion, especially after Aki Iwai double-bogeyed the third hole on Sunday to grow Ryu’s lead to five.

But the Evian always delivers Sunday chaos, and this edition was no different.

Brooke Henderson, who started the day seven shots back of Ryu, opened with a birdie at the first. Then she eagled the par-5 seventh before making an ace on the par-3 eighth to move within one of Ryu, who played the first eight holes in one over.

Iwai responded from her early stumbles by making birdies at six and nine to get within two of Ryu at the turn.

Ryu’s lead stayed at two until Iwai made birdies at 14 and 15 to catch her at 18 under. One hole later, Henderson made a birdie of her own to pull even with Ryu and Iwai, setting up a dramatic two-hole sprint for a major title.

Iwai and Ryu both made par on the par-4 17th, but Henderson missed a three-foot par putt to fall one back heading to the par-5 18th.

But the door quickly swung back open for Henderson when Iwai and Ryu both lost their tee shots to the left, forcing them to lay up. Henderson, meanwhile, split the fairway and stuffed her second to eight feet for an eagle look.

Ryu and Iwai both found the greens with their third but were farther out than Henderson. If either made birdie, it would force Henderson to roll in her eagle to force a playoff. If both missed, Henderson would have a look to win in regulation.

Ryu went first. A day after making nine birdies, she had gone 17 holes without recording a circle. Now she needed one to ensure she’d at least get to a playoff. She put a confident stroke on the ball, and it barely caught the left edge of the cup and dropped to move her to 19 under.

Iwai went next. The 24-year-old from Japan’s previous best major finish came at last month’s KPMG Women’s PGA, where she finished in a tie for 19th. She already had the best major finish of her young career secured but needed to make a medium-length putt to head to a playoff with Ryu and potentially Henderson. Her putt missed left, leaving the stage for Henderson.

It had been a blistering hot Sunday for Henderson, who had also made two eagles. A third would send her to a playoff. But she had also missed very short par putts at 14 and 17 that put her behind the eight ball heading to the final hole.

Henderson stood over her ball, took a deep breath and rolled it right in the heart.

As Henderson and Ryu were preparing for their playoff, Iwai’s emotions flowed as she talked about her first major near-miss.

“I got confidence. I never gave up,” an emotional Iwai said as the tears started to flow.

After the interview, Lydia Ko consoled Iwai as she processed a putt that “just missed” and would’ve sent her back up 18 with Henderson and Ryu.

Back on the 18th tee, this time it was Henderson who pulled her tee shot left while Ryu striped it down the middle. After Henderson laid up, Ryu found the green in two, giving herself a lengthy eagle look.

With Ryu almost assured of a two-putt birdie, Henderson knew she needed to stick her approach shot close to have a chance to extend the playoff. But she tugged it left, and her ball rolled off the green and nestled in the rough.

Ryu cozied her first putt up to four feet, leaving Henderson with what was likely a must-make chip for birdie to send the tournament to a second playoff hole. But Henderson’s magic finally ran out in France as the chip missed low, leaving Ryu four feet for back-to-back majors. Four feet for what she said on Saturday would be “an amazing dream,” something that seemed worlds away three weeks ago before she was doused in champagne at Hazeltine after her first major win.

Ryu stood over the ball and calmly rolled it into the center of the cup to claim her second consecutive major title. Ryu’s win brought more LPGA history, making it the first time two players have won back-to-back majors in the same season. Nelly Korda opened the year with wins at the Chevron and U.S. Women’s Open.

“Feels like unreal right now,” Ryu said after her win. “Because today [my] shots [were] pretty good but my putting is bad. I [was] just thinking like oh, God, please go in the hole, please. Every hole, I just pray. But the last hole and the birdie hole there, just thank God I can say that part. And it feels like just unreal dream right now.”

Henderson, who finished third to Ryu at the Women’s PGA, didn’t lament an opportunity lost. She viewed a chaotic Sunday in which she raced up the leaderboard and came up a tick short as another building block toward major championship No. 3, one that might come in three weeks at the AIG Women’s Open.

“I played awesome today, which is really exciting,” Henderson said. “To finish second in a major and third couple weeks ago, definitely game is in a really good spot. Obviously, it’s very exciting to get into a playoff. Wish I had played a little bit better, but Haeran has been playing great.

“I am happy with how I played. Lots of birdies and eagles, which is really fun.”

Back on the 18th green, Ryu was once again showered in champagne, the spoils a major championship winner gets to enjoy while processing their new place in the game.

“This is just a dream right now,” Ryu said. “Because before three weeks [ago], I don’t have a major championship, but now two in a row. So I’m so happy and — I can’t believe it right now.”

For years, Bill Murray has been the face of the Pebble Beach Pro Am.

The legendary actor and comedian has delighted fans along the Monterey Peninsula since he arrived at the event in the early 1990s. He has had walk-off rules violations, won the pro-am portion in 2011, and even punted a teddy bear into the crowd during one round.

Playing with Murray at Pebble Beach is an experience, one Chicago Cubs legend, Mark Grace, detailed on the latest episode of GOLF’s Subpar Podcast with Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz.

“Playing with Bill, gosh, red carpet for everything,” Grace said. “From the after parties and all that to huge galleries. It was the Bing Crosby back then. It should’ve been the Bill Murray at Pebble Beach. He’s so beloved. At that time, it was Stripes and Caddyshack, all of his movies. So every time you’re over a putt, Bill can just look and people start laughing. He doesn’t say a word and people start laughing. He just abuses people and they love it.”

Grace recalled one edition of the pro-am in which Murray got upset with Vice President Dan Quayle, who took too long on a short putt at Poppy Hills Golf Course.

“Quayle was over a two-footer in front of us,” Grace recalled. “He’s over a two-footer. He’s lining it up, he’s getting back in. Finally, Bill screams at him, ‘Hurry up!’ That went over like a fart in church.”

After a fog-shortened Saturday, a marathon final day awaits the challengers at the Genesis Scottish Open. It began early Sunday morning, with Robert MacIntyre, Matt Fitzpatrick and Min Woo Lee finishing their third rounds tied atop the leaderboard at The Renaissance Club.

MacIntyre, who won the championship in 2024, fired a bogey-free, five-under 65 in his third round to electrify the crowd in his home country. Lee, who won the tournament in 2021, carded a four-under 66, as did Fitzpatrick.

While those three will start the final round in the lead, they’ll have to hold off a packed leaderboard of challengers to leave Scotland with the trophy. Chris Gotterup, the 2025 champion, is one shot back, as are Tom Kim and Michael Thorbjornsen. Wyndham Clark, Keita Nakajima, Johnny Keefer and Kevin Roy are all two back at 10 under.

Rory McIlroy entered Saturday’s third round tied for the lead, but the six-time major champion faded down the leaderboard with a sloppy third-round 73. He’ll start the final round six shots back of the leaders.

Whoever survives the marathon Sunday will leave Scotland with a $1.575 million winner’s check and a lot of momentum heading into next week’s Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
