Horschel pulled away from a self-destructing Rory McIlroy early, and then holed two clutch putts that felt like $10 million to hold off Jim Furyk on the back nine at East Lake. He closed with a 2-under 68 for a three-shot victory in the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup. Horschel’s career earnings were just over $4.5 million coming into the year. He collected $11.4...

It was his 10th straight round in the 60s. He already has a victory and a runner-up finish in the FedEx Cup playoffs. And now he gets to take on the best player in golf. Rory McIlroy rode three big putts and one bizarre break — a tee shot landed in a spectator’s pocket — on his way to a 65 that left him two shots behind...

The 28-year-old American has won a major before, the Kraft Nabisco in 2009, but clinched the last of her five LPGA titles in 2011 at the Canadian Women’s Open. “Even when I felt like I didn’t hit a good shot today I kind of got away with it,” she said. “Golf isn’t always a... By The Associated Press | 3 weeks, 3 days ago Golf Chris Kirk, Billy Horschel share lead at Tour Championship ATLANTA >> Chris Kirk and Billy Horschel have little in common except a clean card of 4-under 66 at the Tour Championship and their chances at the biggest payoff in golf. Kirk and Horschel, the top two seeds going into the FedEx Cup finale at East Lake, played in the final group and traded birdies — neither of them made a bogey — over four hours in steamy weather to share the lead. They need only to win the Tour Championship to claim the FedEx Cup and its $10... By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press | 3 weeks, 4 days ago Golf The golf cups overflow in September ATLANTA >> The losing captain — usually an American — is an easy scapegoat at the Ryder Cup. Now he at least has an accomplice. Just blame it on the FedEx Cup. Four years ago, it rained so hard at Celtic Manor in the opening session that no match got past the 10th hole and the Ryder Cup ultimately finished on Monday for the first time. During the seven-hour delay, a British golf writer demanded to speak to PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem. Why did he... By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press | 3 weeks, 6 days ago Golf Billy Horschel hangs on to win BMW Championship The bad swing a week ago is a distant memory. The blown lead Sunday — that wasn’t enough to derail Billy Horschel, either. Horschel let a three-shot lead drop to nothing early in the final round of the PGA Tour’s BMW Championship before rebounding for a two-stroke victory over Bubba Watson. Horschel shot a 1-under 69 and finished at 14-under 266 to put himself in prime position for the FedEx Cup title and its $10 million bonus at the Tour Championship next... By The Associated Press | 4 weeks, 1 day ago Golf Billy Horschel takes 3-shot lead at BMW Championship CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. — Billy Horschel needed less than a week to give himself a second chance. If he keeps playing this well, his next shot at closing out a tournament won’t be nearly as stressful as the last one. Horschel made a 32-foot birdie putt Saturday to wrap up his bogey-free third round at 7-under 63 and take a three-shot lead over Ryan Palmer heading into the final 18 holes of the BMW Championship. On Monday at the Deutsche Bank Championship,... By Eddie Pells The Associated Press | on 09/06/2014 Golf Sergio Garcia takes over atop BMW Championship leaderboard Sergio Garcia hit great shots that led to eagle, birdie and par Friday. They carried him to a 6-under 64, giving him a one-shot lead going into the weekend at the BMW Championship on ever-changing Cherry Hills. Garcia holed out from a greenside bunker for birdie on the second hole. He holed a lob wedge for eagle on the short, par-4 seventh hole. And after hitting into the water going for the green on the par-5 17th hole, he escaped with par by getting up-and-down with a wedge to a... By The Associated Press | on 09/05/2014 Golf Rory McIlroy atop PGA Tour’s BMW Championship Rory McIlroy felt anything under par was a good score Thursday at Cherry Hills, even if he had reason to expect much better. McIlroy ran out of par saves late in the opening round at the BMW Championship and had to settle for a 3-under 67, still enough for the world’s No. 1 player to share the lead with Jordan Spieth and Gary Woodland. Cherry Hills, one of the shortest courses on the PGA Tour when factoring in the mile-high air, held up just fine. “It’s...
