Ian Poulter has never won a major. A fact he won’t need to be reminded of, the 42-year-old hasn’t got closer than he did at the Open in 2008. Ten years on, he shares the lead at Shinniecock Hills after 18 holes. A challenging round on Long Island was characterised by high winds, and serious […]
Having won the tournament seven years ago, the US Open is a hill Rory McIlroy has already climbed. Typically, the 29-year-old is hungry for more.

The 2016 Masters is a tournament Jordan Spieth can’t seem to forget. Leading by five shots heading into the back nine in the final round on Sunday, many bookies would have suspended betting on the eventual champion. However, bogeys on the 10th and 11th eroded the lead, and a quadruple bogey on the 12th saw […]
Rory McIlroy has been talking about the difficulties associated with his stardom.
