Hill Takes Medalist Honours In Playoff Win Over Lyons; Canada?s Ziggy Nathu Earns Conditional Membership In the final round of PGA TOUR Latinoamérica?s Qualifying Tournament at Country Club Las Praderas de Lujan, Americans John Hill and Landon Lyons, battled all day, eventually tying at the end of regulation atop the leaderboard. Canada?s Ziggy Nathu had an impressive final 36 holes after a disappointing start. He fired a third-round, 4-under 68 then came back with a 66 Friday to finish at 8-under and tied for 15th, a stroke out of the playoff for the 12th and final spot but good for conditional status this season.

Tiger & Son?s 11 Straight Birdies Fall Short Of Daly Duo Tiger Woods might not be ready for tour-level golf. He can still deliver quite a show. In a remarkable return from a car crash 10 months ago that badly damaged his right leg, Woods and 12-year-old son Charlie set a tournament record with 11 straight birdies and pushed John Daly and his college son all the way to the finish Sunday in the PNC Championship. Daly and John Daly II, shot 57 in the scramble format and won by two shots. It might have been the widest Woods ever smiled after a runner-up finish. INSIDE GOLF

Our 2021 Gift Guide For The Upcoming Holidays (Part 2)

Part one of Our 2021 Gift Guide For The Upcoming Holidays is here. Golf is a game of compensation and correction. You miss one tee shot to the right, and the next one?s over-corrected into the hazard on the left. If your aim is a tiny bit off, you?ll compensate for that mistake with your golf swing. It?s human nature. You don?t even know you?re doing it. With putting it?s even worse. Now there?s an easy way to check yourself for those pesky little aim and alignment errors that cost you so many strokes. INSIDE GOLF
