Rory McIlroy confirms he will not defend his WGC-Bridgestone Invitational title

He is also only the sixth Australian to win the Canadian Open, joining Joe Kirkwood (1933), Jim Ferrier (1950, 1951), Kel Nagle (1964), Greg Norman (1984, 1992) and Nathan Green (2009) on the honour board.

Jason Day was delighted to secure his second PGA Tour win of 2015 as he birdied the final three holes en route to a four-under 68 in the final round of the Canadian Open.

She placed fourth in last week’s Scottish Ladies Open and was third at the LPGA’s Marathon Classic in Ohio a week earlier.

It is her fourth appearance at the Women’s British Open, having earned low amateur honours in 2012 (17th) and 2013 (42nd) and finished tied for 29th last year at Royal Birkdale.

“I’m the type of a player who tries to push myself at something new every time”, she said.

“My life-long goal is to get to No. 1 in the world”.

“I won the trophy and it was quite a big thing for me back then”.

Owners of newly-released golf sim Rory McIlroy PGA Tour have been criticizing the game for a lack of courses when compared to previous titles in the PGA Tour series. The Aussie had come close at the 2011 and 2013 Masters and 2013 U.S. Open and just recently missed a putt that would have put him in the playoff at the British Open.

Day recorded his first top-10 result at a major at Whistling Straights in 2010, briefly holding a share of the lead on Sunday just a month after making his major debut at St Andrews. “The enhanced focus that had today and a week ago and the same way as I’ve well prepared during the last couple of weeks, all that… I’m going to take next week off”, Day said.

“There’s no better feeling than coming down to the wire and contending with these guys”.
