Whos set to play at The Wyndham?

Garcia has found his way into this article once again and it’s not without good reason. The Spaniard put together a ball-striking clinic in Minnesota, yet it was a faulty putter that held him back, losing north of seven-strokes on the greens for the week.

For Spieth, that was as welcome as being an Open contender once again. "It feels inside the ropes, from the first tee forward, the most normal of any tournament we have played thus far relative to that same tournament in previous years," Spieth said. His 5-under 65 certainly turned back time to four years ago when he lifted the claret jug at Royal Birkdale — the last English venue to host the British Open — when he was hitting the ball better than he ever has. Spieth was a shot off the lead...

With the score tied 13-13, the Cup came down to the final two matches, and four players who had yet to win a point. Martin Kaymer made a clutch, six-foot par putt on 18 to defeat Steve Stricker, 1 up, and give the Europeans a 14-13 lead. That guaranteed them at least a ti...
