FORT WORTH, Texas -- Kelly Kraft on Thursday almost shot his best round ever at Colonial Country Club.

Still, an opening-round 65 in the Dean & DeLuca Invitational was enough to put him in a three-way tie for the lead with Derek Fathauer and J.T. Poston.

In 2012, Kraft shot a 64 in the third round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, ...Read more

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The record will show that Sergio Garcia won his first major on his 74th try on the 73rd hole of the 81st Masters tournament.

But most who were watching on Sunday will tell you that he won the tournament on the 13th hole when he and Justin Rose both made pars.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Seve Ballesteros would have so loved this Masters, played over this heaven on earth on what would have been his 60th birthday.

He had withstood a charge by Sergio Garcia to take a one-shot lead with a birdie at No. 16. But his drive on 17 went into the pine trees on the right. He got his second shot into the bunker that is in front of the green, blasted out to 7 feet, but missed the par putt to ...Read more

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday, just as Sergio Garcia's sword fight with Justin Rose broke out in earnest and the Masters' back nine was fully engaged, in the twosome just ahead, Rickie Fowler was doing this:

Drive through the pine grove off No. 11 left rough; recovery shot off a gallery-mushed lie over the green; chip up and two ...Read more

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- What a leaderboard heading into the final round of the Masters.

Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia at the top.

Rickie Fowler one stroke back.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Old Man started hot with birdies on his first two holes.

Could Phil Mickelson do it again at the Masters? Could he put himself in position to win his fourth green jacket?

The answers, emphatic "No's" (we may couch as "Not yet"), came quickly.

After reaching 2 under, the 46-year-old carded one more birdie, three bogeys and ...Read more

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Six holes down and 12 to play, Justin Rose was going backwards.

While the leaders had gone off five shots ahead, Rose was 1 over par for his third round and the Masters seemed to be going forth without him. About then, he and caddie Mark "Fooch" Fulcher had a chat Saturday afternoon.

"We kind of knew we were being tested at ...Read more

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- This is not to say the first round of the Masters lacked for panache, but the tournament could have powered its leaderboard with a 10-watt portable generator.
