Uihlein trying to decide best path to return to PGA Tour Follow Us Question of the Day PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) - Good play brings tough decisions for former U.S. Amateur champion Peter Uihlein. Uihlein worked hard to return his swing back to where it needed to be and the results were encouraging. He won on the Korn Ferry Tour two weeks ago in Las Vegas, and then last week he teamed with Richy Werenski to finish third in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Now for the hard part: where ...

The PGA Tour returns to Florida for the Valspar Championship. The players will be greeted by a monster of a course, as Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course is always one of the strongest tests each year.

  Peter Uihlein & Richy Werenski birdie No. 18 at Zurich Classic The cold weather state of Massachusetts has plenty of rich golf tradition (think Francis Ouimet, 1913, and Paul Azinger was born there), but it doesn’t turn out too many professionals on the PGA TOUR. Two Bay State natives decided to team up at this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and had some pretty strong results. Peter Uihlein, hot off his victory on the Korn Ferry Tour last week, joined ...

AVONDALE, La. (AP) — Cameron Smiths aggressiveness on the TPC Louisianas water-lined 16th hole appeared to doom his teams chances of winning the Zurich Classic when his 294-yard drive bounced off an embankment near the green and into the water. Smiths teammate, fellow Australian Marc Leishman, then flipped the script with a deft chip.
