It was a range of emotions for Kuchar on the final two holes. After appearing on the verge of building a two-stroke lead on the 17th hole, he three-putted from 4’3‖ to drop into a tie at 10-under with Donald. On the par-4 18th hole, Kuchar holed a 56’7‖ bunker shot for a birdie-3 to move back to the eventual winning score of 11-under. The win was the seventh of Kuchar’s PGA TOUR career: 2002 Honda Classic, 2009 Turning Stone Resort Championship, 2010 Barclays, 2012 PLAYERS Championship, 2013 World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, 2013 Memorial Tournament, 2014 RBC Heritage.

  • Ultimate Tee-Off Golf Association
    PURSUITS GOLF GOLF PURSUITS For the Aspiring Golf Professional You know it’s a tough course when professional golfers complain of its difficulty. This was exactly the case with the TPC Stadium Course in California, USA, (www.pgawest.com), with some of the most difficult moguls, swales and bunkers to overcome. Pit your skills against one of the world’s most challenging courses, created by Pete Dye, and navigate through the plethora of hazards, especially on the 17th and 18th hole. Rated by several publications to be one of the toughest courses in the world, as well as once being dropped from being the PGA Tour’s Bob Hope Desert Chrysler Classic course because it was too challenging, this course is the ultimate test for the advanced golfer (green fees at about US$235, though it varies throughout the year) to conquer and be labelled against the greats, Should you prevail, enter the PGA Tour “Q School” Finals to land the coveted PGA Tour Card. Another course designed by Pete Dye, known for his “Dye-bolical” designs, is the Ocean The Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort (www. kiawahresort.com) in South Carolina, USA. In true Dye fashion, the Ocean has the highest combination of Slope Rating (155) and Course Rating (79.6) in the US, according to the US Ultimate Tee-Off Golf Association. This course features forced carries over marshes, roll-resistant Bermuda Take your golf game to new heights and tee off in the most challenging, most exclusive and most elusive grasses and a seemingly endless array of waste golf courses in the world, with the finest accessories to augment your style, if not your golf game bunkers.

With more than 78 players making the 36-hole cut, a 54-hole cut will take place (low 70 and ties). That is the lowest cut in relation to par since the 2015 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which was also 5-under. Mackenzie Hughes In his first appearance at The RSM Classic, Mackenzie Hughes followed up a career low 61 with a 5-under 67 on Friday to build a two-shot lead over fellow rookie Cheng Tsung Pan. Beginning on the back nine of the Plantation Course, he parred the first four holes before reeling off birdies on Nos. 14, 16, 18, 4, and 5 to finish off a bogey- free round. Hughes’ 14-under 128 is two shots better in relation to par than Billy Horschel’s previous tournament record from 2011.

  • Jimmy Walker Set to Defend Title
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 16, 2016 JIMMY WALKER SET TO DEFEND TITLE NUMEROUS TOP RANKED PLAYERS ALREADY COMMITTED CURRENT OPEN CHAMPION & TWO-TIME VALERO TEXAS OPEN WINNER ZACH JOHNSON RETURNING TO SAN ANTONIO SAN ANTONIO, TX – In conjunction with its annual Media Day this morning, tournament officials announced some early player commitments including the return of last year’s champion Jimmy Walker for the 2016 Valero Texas Open, scheduled for April 21-24 at the AT&T Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio. Walker, who lives in nearby Boerne, became the fourth San Antonio-area resident to win the Valero Texas Open when he prevailed by four strokes over Jordan Spieth in his victory here last year. Walker was one of only four players in the field to post four sub-par rounds and at the time became the first multiple winner for the TOUR’s 2014-2015 season, having successfully defended his Sony Open in Hawaii title a few months earlier. By season’s end, Walker advanced to the FedExCup Playoffs for a sixth consecutive season and was ranked 16th in the FedExCup standings. “Jimmy has been a great champion for us throughout the year and we are excited to have him come back and defend his title,” said the tournament’s Executive Director Larson Segerdahl. “He and his wife Erin are great ambassadors for the San Antonio area and for the game of golf. We could not have been prouder to have him as our champion this year and consider him a member of the Valero Texas Open family.” Walker will have some of the world’s top ranked players, fellow Valero Texas Open champions and some major championship winners to compete against in what is the third oldest PGA TOUR event on the schedule.

  • Adam Scott Former UNLV Golfer and Current PGA Tour Star
    “Coach, you are on a roll for developing such great players AND quality kids." --- Jim Nantz Broadcaster, CBS Sports "The golf program at UNLV played a big part in my golf educa- tion, helping me to prepare for life on Tour. Great facilities to use, great competition to play in and great friends made. I look back at my time at UNLV and have great memories. UNLV is a part of the journey that I am on and taught me so much. I am a proud Rebel!" --- Adam Scott Former UNLV golfer and current PGA Tour star "Coach Knight is an incredible short game instructor and he has a vast knowledge of the game of golf. One of the things he constantly emphasized was the importance of the finishing holes in every tournament. I can't even begin to count how many times his words rang true, with the finishing holes making the differ- ence between winning and losing." --- Ryan Moore Former UNLV star, current PGA Tour golfer and Ryder Cup Champion "If a young golfer has the dream of playing on the PGA Tour, there is no better place to play college golf than UNLV. Dwaine Knight will help you learn what it takes to be successful at the next level." --- Hank Haney Leading golf instructor "I couldn't be where I am today without the program at UNLV and Coach Knight.
