Golf roundup: William McGirt leads Bridgestone Invitational

The meeting had been planned long before Rory McIlroy and Jason Day pulled out of the Olympics in the past week, both citing concerns about the Zika virus.

McGirt is spending his time well in Ohio.

Having rallied from an terrible start at the U.S. Open to finish tied for eighth a fortnight ago, Day produced some adept scrambling as holed four birdies and a bogey in a first-round 67.

“I won the battle in my head today”. “He”™s a nice guy.

This is the case because the Bridgestone Invitational doesn’t have a 36-hole cut, meaning every player takes home some cash just for participating. Johnson added, “He can play”.

“I’m excited to be back here … any time you’re in a World Golf Championship, it’s a big event”, American Spieth told reporters while preparing for Thursday’s opening round. “I know I can compete out here and I know I can win it”. ” It was just good to finally see a really good, close game.”.

McGirt, 37, who won for the first time on Tour at Jack’s place, is playing at Firestone for the first time.

Defections have continued and there could be more, especially among players who plan to start a family soon and want to avoid the risk of the Zika virus, which causes serious birth defects. The 2011 Bridgestone champion offered several fixes, including making it an amateur competition. When I was kind of out of position my short game saved me. “It was great. I needed that, mentally and physically”.

Only 17 players of the 61-man field broke par.

Then, the four-round FedExCup playoffs begin on August 25, with the Barclays at Bethpage Black.

In total, he made over 136 feet of strokes with the putter – I say strokes because that includes when he used the putter from off the green that are not officially counted as putts.

Imagine how many more messages he would get if he can keep this up over the next three days. Spring Creek is a quick golf cart ride to Spring Creek Business Park, adjacent to Spring Creek-featuring UVa Medical Park, Martha Jefferson Hospital’s Spring Creek Family Medicine, Spring Creek Family Dentistry, and Crossroads Animal Hospital to name a few-and neighbors a hotel, restaurants, and major retail stores at The Shops at Spring Creek.

“We dream of winning Claret Jugs and we dream of winning green jackets”. There is no doubt the 28-ranked golfer in the world is an excellent value play at just $7.2.K.

“Just have a full field, 150 guys, get all the best players and give the other countries some opportunity,” Scott said.

“I’ve really been searching”. Most of the meeting was about security. “I’m not going to share the secret”, he said with a smile.

Phil Mickelson hits on the seventh hole during the first round of the Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament at Firestone Country Club, Thursday, June 30, 2016, in Akron, Ohio.

Here’s a sign of how much the PGA Tour has grown.
