AdWhen darkness brought the first round to a halt โ 21 players didn't finish โ there already were 13 scores of 80 or higher. โFor some reason, it just kind of fits my eye,โ said Garcia, who won The Players in 2008 and has twice been runner-up. British Open champion Shane Lowry took bogey on his final hole for a 68 and was tied with Corey Conners and Matt Fitzpatrick.

Rahm joins the lead and the large pack chasing green jacket
Read full article: Rahm joins the lead and the large pack chasing green jacketTiger Woods remains in the mix with one birdie and seven pars to complete a 71, leaving him four shots behind. As the sun broke through the clouds when the second round ended, it revealed a Masters that even without spectators was shaping up to be as exciting as always. Rahm joined the lead pack at 9-under 135 with a wedge to 5 feet for birdie on the par-5 13th to resume his second round, but the next par 5 meant just as much. The cut was at even-par 144, a Masters record and a reflection of how rain has affected this Masters in November. That included Woods, who won his fifth green jacket last year by coming from behind for the first time in a major.

Tiger, other golfers will benefit from hall of fame changes
Read full article: Tiger, other golfers will benefit from hall of fame changesJACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Tiger Woods could be coming to the World Golf Hall of Fame very soon. Area resident Jim Furyk, 49, and 2009 Players Championship winner Henrik Stenson, 43, are among those with new eligibility. Past Players Championship winners Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott are now eligible for the 2025 class, provided the criteria doesnโt change again before then. I believe these changes benefit the Hall of Fame Members, fans across the world and the institution.โOther changes to the hall included doing away with the Veterans category and adding a Contributor category to replace the Lifetime Achievement. โWe look forward to the future of the Hall of Fame as we ensure it remains a meaningful way to recognize the gameโs greats.โ
