Jill Painter | 2 weeks, 2 days ago Golf No reason to feel sorry for Jim Furyk PARAMUS, N.J. >> The good news for Jim Furyk is that people finally stopped talking about his golf swing that only a mother could love and a father could teach. Now it’s whether he knows how to win. Forgotten are his 16 victories on the PGA Tour. Among full-time players, only Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh, Davis Love III and Ernie Els have won more times. Furyk has a major championship. He has played on nine straight Ryder Cup teams, one short of the U.S. By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press | 2 weeks, 4 days ago Golf Tiger Woods splits with swing coach Sean Foley PARAMUS, N.J. — Tiger Woods is leaving swing coach Sean Foley after four years and no majors. Woods said on his website Monday he will no longer work with Foley, the Canadian whom he hired when his game was at its low point following the upheaval with his marriage. The announcement came one day after another Foley pupil, Hunter Mahan, won The Barclays. “I’d like to thank Sean for his help as my coach and for his friendship,” Woods said. “Sean is...

The victory was the sixth of his career, and one of the most important. Mahan had gone 48 tournaments worldwide without winning and began the FedEx Cup playoffs at No. 62, guaranteed to play only two events. By closing with a 6-under 65 for a two-shot victory, he is assured of making the Tour... By The Associated Press | 2 weeks, 6 days ago Golf Golf roundup: Jim Furyk, Jason Day share lead heading into final round of The Barclays PARAMUS, N.J. >> Jim Furyk was steady. Jason Day was wild. Both wound up with a share of the lead Saturday at The Barclays. Day lost his golf ball in a mound of high grass and took double bogey on the par-5 13th, the third-easiest hole at Ridgewood. He also took four shots to get down from a bunker on the par-5 17th for a bogey. But the Australian made enough birdies for a 3-under 68. Furyk played bogey-free for a 69 and joined Day in the lead at 9-under 204. The...

Scott ran off four straight birdies in the middle of his round Friday, and then closed with an approach that settled a foot from the cup for a tap-in birdie and a 6-under 65. That gave him a share of the 36-hole lead with Cameron Tringale at The Barclays. Three dozen players were within five shots of the lead, a group... By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press | 3 weeks, 1 day ago Golf Hunter Mahan wants to stay in hunt for stretch drive PARAMUS, N.J. >> The swing was efficient as ever, and the ball soared toward the far end of the range with a tight draw as Hunter Mahan held his pose. And then he twirled his club. Did you see that?” swing coach Sean Foley said Tuesday, admiring the twirl as much as the shot. “He’s not a twirler.” Foley usually sees that from one of his other pupils — Tiger Woods. Mahan goes about his golf with less fanfare. But there was an... By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press | 3 weeks, 4 days ago Golf Kevin Sutherland shoots first 59 on Champions Tour Kevin Sutherland was only eight holes into his round Saturday at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open in Endicott, N.Y., and already thinking about a 59. “You’re not supposed to do that, are you?” he said. The way this magical round went, nothing was going to stop him. Sutherland became the first player in Champions Tour history to shoot a 59, and it might have been even better except for a three-putt bogey from about 40 feet just off the 18th...
