REUTERS: Tyrrell Hatton added a red cardigan to his closet with his win at last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational and returns to Bay Hill this week knowing he must work on his putting if he wants to add a Green Jacket to his wardrobe at next month's Masters. World number six Hatton, the final winner on the PGA Tour before the COVID-19 shutdown, missed the cut at Augusta National last year and his best Masters finish in four starts was a share of 44th place in 2018. "I need to figure out how to putt at Augusta, if that is ever going to be happen, to be honest," the Englishman said on Wednesday in Orlando, Florida. "Normally putting is a strong point for me and I've never putted well there, sadly. So obviously hoping that changes this year." Last year at Bay Hill, Hatton delivered a gritty performance during which he held off a strong field and even stronger winds to pick up a maiden PGA Tour title five days before the PGA Tour halted for three months because of the novel … [Read more...] about Golf: Hatton ready to defend maiden PGA Tour title at Bay Hill

SINGAPORE: World number one Ariya Jutanugarn joined a five-way tie for the round-one lead at the HSBC Women's World Championship on Thursday (Feb 28) as reigning title-holder Michelle Wie withdrew with a hand injury. Australia's Minjee Lee, China's Yu Liu, American Amy Olson and Celine Boutier of France were level with Ariya on four-under-par 68, but it was a brutal day in Singapore for Wie and Amy Yang. Yang, last week's winner at the LPGA Thailand, lasted just three holes before pulling out due to flu, while Wie's title defence was also cruelly cut short. The 29-year-old American only returned to action last week after wrist surgery but she struggled to 10 over par through 14 holes, including a double bogey followed by a triple bogey, before calling it quits. No further details were given about the hand injury and Wie did not speak to reporters as she left the par-72 Sentosa Golf Club course. Meanwhile Ariya said her run to the top of the board was stoked by sibling … [Read more...] about Golf: Ariya leads as Wie quits HSBC Women’s World Championship with hand injury

The University of Arizona currently has a team ranked No. 1 in the country. Based on the school’s history, one might assume it would be the men's or women’s basketball team — or maybe the softball or baseball team. All of them have had a strong season, but none have had one as dominant as the Arizona men’s golf team, winners of back-to-back tournaments and currently rank as the No. 1 men’s college golf team in the country according to golfstat.com . Leading the charge is senior Trevor Werbylo. Werbylo is a hometown kid and graduate of Salpointe Catholic High School. In Arizona’s last tournament, Werbylo finished tied for first place in The Prestige Tournament. A great achievement, but he has his eyes set on a much bigger prize. Werbylo is not one of these athletes who has been playing their sport from a very young age. Werbylo played multiple sports and excelled at all of them, primarily baseball.
