Adam Scott has edged ever so slightly towards his goal of sneaking back inside the world’s top 60 with a solid result at the PGA Tour event at Colonial in Fort Worth, Texas.
Phil Mickelson has no problem voicing his opinion on any golf topic, but on Sunday he wound up taking something back regarding the major championships.
Cameron Smith and his all-Australian Ripper GC have rounded into sensational form in time for the remaining three majors of this year, bagging a second consecutive teams victory on LIV Golf at its Singapore event.
Golf Australia chief executive James Sutherland has encouraged golf’s powerbrokers to consider the idea to award the Australian Open winner an exemption into all four majors, saying it would “elevate our event and our tour”.
