The veteran golfer roared to the top of the leaderboard at the 2016 British Open on Thursday, shooting an impressive eight-under 63 at Royal Troon Golf Club in Ayrshire, Scotland.

Golf Gods Cruelly Deny Phil Mickelson of History as He Tunes Up Troon for 63

Somebody up there—or perhaps a resident of a slightly warmer locale down south—doesn’t want anybody messing with major championship history.

Over and over, superstars seeking to rewrite the single-round Grand Slam scoring record have been inexplicably turned away in the cruelest imaginable fashion, by the last blade of grass or the smallest possible dimple, at the game’s four showcase events. This time, Phil Mickelson walked... 

Oft-Abrasive Patrick Reed Winning over Brits with Newfound Charm

Many of his more-decorated countrymen avoided the Olympics like the plague. Or, at minimum, like a certain oft-cited virus. Other prominent golfers this week, leery about the lack of cuisine and first-world comforts in the United Kingdom, hired a private chef to handle the cooking chores. But in a remarkable role reversal given his prickly reputation, the one-time villain of the PGA Tour, star-crossed Patrick Reed, has reinvented his abrasive public persona at the 145th Open Championship by embracing both issues with enthusiasm and aplomb. He’s converting both fans and birdie chances,...
