Weather delays British Masters...Round 2 still not finished ....partial results

    DP World Tour : Husqvarna British Masters Leaderboard Tee Times

Marco Penge will take a two-shot lead into the weekend after playing a marathon 32 holes on day two of the weather-affected Husqvarna British Masters

The home favourite carded a 69 in the morning to get into the contention and then surged ahead in round two, moving to -8 through 14 holes and -11 total

New Zealand's Daniel Hillier, the 2023 champion, was his nearest challenger, two ahead of South African Shaun Norris and England's Matthew Jordan, who also both still had holes to play.

Spain's Nacho Elvira was also at -7 but yet to start his second round.

STATE OF PLAY

Storms resulted in two hours and 11 minutes being lost in the afternoon, taking the total for the week to nine hours and 21 minutes but there was a healthy contingent of hardy fans surrounding a Brabazon Course that was still in excellent condition.

The delays, however, meant that no players had completed their second round, with half the field yet to start theirs.

Jordan was -1 for his round with four holes to complete, while Norris was -2 with six to play.

American Davis Bryant was yet to start his second round at -6 with Scot Ewen Ferguson on the same mark having completed ten holes of round two.

England's Joe Dean, Dutchman Joost Luiten and India's Shubhankar Sharma were at -5

American Ryggs Johnston made his second hole-in-one of the season, holing a five iron from 215 yards on the 12th.

Play will resume at 7.30am, with those yet to start their second rounds teeing off between 8.45am and 10.45am. Round three will not start before 4.00pm

PGA Tour Championship..Rory looking for a record 4th title, .Full scoreboard...

  PGA Tour Championship  FedExCup Leaderboard 

" ON THIS DAY : Rory won the 2022 PGA TOUR Championship becoming the first and only player in PGA Tour history to win the Fed Ex Cup 3 times. 

He shot 63 then a closing 66 -21 to beat Scheffler who stumbled to 73 and Sungjae Im. That year 1st place was worth $18,000,000 to Rory.

That year Aussie Cameron Smith -13 won the Players, the new world#1 called Scott Scheffler struggled to T55 70 76 68 76 +2. 

Smith would go on to win the Open at St.Andrews to secure his status in golf forever, then after drinking the night away with his posse, and listening to Greg Norman, announced he was giving all that heritage up for a gift of over $150,000,000 from the Saudi Princes bottomless riches of the PIF.  He has played in obscurity ever since..

Against that background, the PGA Tour enlisted the help of America's richest sports owners who invested $1 billion, $20,000,000 signature events were announced, shocking us all.

Fast forward,  now, before this version of the PGA Tour Championship got underway, the top 30 split $100,000,000 for their efforts this season led by Scott Scheffler who was 2nd 5 times, but his steady play was enough to earn $23,000,000. 

THIS WEEK

On an ideal day in Atlanta Georgia the final 30 players went out on to play the venerable East Lake GC, for what looks like the 2nd last time, when the revamped 2028 Tour Championship format changes

Aussie Min Woo Lee was the best on opening day, spotless -8 62.

The diminutive Norwegian, 5'5" Viktor Hovland who has a stellar record here, had the flat stick working, T2nd -6 64,  along with Colin Morikawa who has been trending again recently, and Chris Gotterup who has a deft touch to go with his obvious muscle.

All the rest fall in line down to Cameron Young who had a career year, at E 70, while JJ Spaun has W/D.

Rory who started this story is T20 -2 68 without his A game, Scheffler who claims he was born competitive is in the pack at T5 -5 65.

Weather wipes rd1, McKibbon leads, rd 1 resumes, British Masters....Partial results, Friday TEE TIMES

   DP World Tour : Husqvarna British Masters Leaderboard Tee Times

EDIT >>>>> Play has been suspended for a 2nd time, at 1204hrs (local) due to a FLOODED COURSE...No play before 1615 local time. Next update at 1530hrs (local)

This was the story on a soaking Thursday at Husqvarna British Masters, here's the description of what play there was.

Tom McKibbin held a one-shot lead after a wet and stormy opening day of the Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo.

Tom McKibbin held a one-shot lead after a wet and stormy opening day of the Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo.

The first three-hour suspension of the day came just two minutes after the opening tee shots were hit, with 94 minutes of play then possible before flooded bunkers saw another four hours and ten minutes lost.

When play resumed again, Northern Irishman McKibbin got to -5 through 13 holes but with the first groups of the day playing their final holes, the hooter sounded again at 7.11pm as storms returned to The Belfry.

Englishman Joe Dean and Spaniard Nacho Elvira were one shot behind McKibbin at -4 having completed 13 and 12 holes respectively, with South African Dylan Frittelli, Italy's Francesco Laporta, Finn Oliver Lindell, Frenchman Antoine Rozner, German Marcel Schneider and American Johannes Veerman at -3

The adverse weather conditions had been expected coming into the week and Tournament Director Ben Groutage was full of praise for the ground staff.

"They have done a great job on the course," he said. "Tees, fairways and greens have actually held really well to the weather.

"It's just so much rain in such a short period of time that put so much in the bunkers, and there's not really a lot the greens staff could have done about that."

He added: "We managed to play two minutes first thing this morning before we came off for lightning. We got back out there and, unfortunately, had so much rain that the bunkers became unplayable. The rest of the golf course is actually very good but we just couldn't keep the bunkers playable, so it wasn't fair.

"We suspended again. We were off for nearly four hours, and we managed to get back out and play another three just now."

Starting on the tenth, McKibbin was level par after two at the time of the second delay but took advantage of the par-five 15th and 17th before holing a long putt at the 18th.

A stunning approach to the first then brought another gain before he completed the set of birdies on the par-fives at the third.

Playing in the group behind McKibbin, Dean birdied the 13th, 15th, 17th, second and third with a bogey on the 14th, while Elvira made a gain on the third and had just rattled off a hat-trick from the tenth when the hooter sounded.

Play will resume at 7.30am, with the second wave from round one teeing off between 8.00am and 10.00am.

Round two will not start before 1.45pm.

LIVE EDIT 2026/08/28  >> 630am EST  1130am in UK    "Play started on time, perfect, no wind, the course is wetter, the greens are softer, it's easier to play" said Nacho Elvira who has clubhouse lead -7 65

Brooke Henderson in Boston for FM Championship this week....Live scoreboard

 LPGA: FM Championship

Tee Times

Is women’s professional golf finally having its moment? That very well seems to be the case, and this week all eyes – and the focus of the fans – will be on TPC Boston in Norton, where the FM Championship takes place Thursday through Sunday.

The third year of this event looks to be the best yet, organizers say, thanks not just to the pristine and interesting course location, but also to the recent focus on bringing women’s LPGA golf up to the fan/player level of the PGA.

“We expect big things this year,” said Dave Johnson, senior vice president of FM. “We have the strongest field ever, and the TPC Boston community continues to embrace what we are doing here.”

Unlike many LPGA events, for instance, players are housed for the tourney. They’re also given Uber gift cards and invited to multiple family events like Thursday and Friday dinners.

Fans can feel that excitement too, with the event not just featuring the top 10 LPGA players in the world taking on a breathtaking course, but with all kinds of family friendly golf-related activities to make it a special experience for fans as well.

You can leave a winner yourself by taking on the Boston Common Golf closest to the pin contest. You can test your putting prowess on the FM Resilience Challenge Course, and test your swing on the Ford simulator

Better yet, you can sign up for a free 10 minute on-site lesson from an LPGA teaching pro, bringing home the perfect golf souvenir, a tip to fix that quirk you’ve been fighting with for so long.

And then there’s the field of players. All of the world top 10 Rolex ranked players will be on hand, including defending champ Miranda Wang, world number one Nelly Korda and local favorite Megan Khang, along with Canadian star Brooke Henderson

“People are realizing how great these women are,” Khang said of her competitors. “FM has given us a platform. I’m excited for my home state to see this first hand.”

“A good venue is always critical,” Johnson said. “This is one of the best in New England and maybe all of the USA. It’s going to be a great weekend.”

Husqvarna British Masters, Play suspended 1204hrs .. Full scoreboard

      DP World Tour : Husqvarna British Masters Leaderboard Tee Times

EDIT >>>>> Play has been suspended for a 2nd time, at 1204hrs (local) due to a FLOODED COURSE...No play before 1615 local time. Next update at 1530hrs (local)

Thursday morning dawned cloaked in a wet English mist, with thunder rolling, and lightning crackling at the Belfry GC.

Play scheduled to start at 730am (local) never got started, time for a late breakfast before play resumed/began at 1030am (local).

Tyrrell Hatton is known as a man for the big occasion and he would to love to add the Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo trophy to his cabinet this week.

The Englishman is a specialist at winning big events, with his eight DP World Tour wins consisting of five Rolex Series victories and three triumphs at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Now he arrives at the storied venue of The Belfry for one of the most prestigious events on the calendar to start the Back 9.

Despite The Belfry's rich history, Hatton concedes he has only played it once before at this event in 2024 when he finished in a tie for 18th.

But he is confident he can challenge for the title - if he can get his driver working well.

"To be honest, I feel like if I'm playing well, I can give myself a chance around any golf course," he said.

"So that's really the goal this week. Hopefully I can play well and give myself a chance. It would be nice to add this tournament to the list of events that I've won. I'll give it my best."

He added: "When I played here two years ago, it was the first time I had played it. So I wouldn't say I was overly familiar with it.

"A few of the holes are iconic, certainly, from the Ryder Cup.

"But yeah, it's a tricky golf course. You certainly have to drive the ball really well around here. It's sneaky difficult off the tee. Hopefully keep ball in play this week.

"Statistically, it's been the worst stat in my career. Maybe I shouldn't play this week but we'll give it our best anyway."

The Belfry has played host to the Ryder Cup four times, so it is perhaps fitting that European qualification for the 2027 edition begins this week in the Midlands.

Hatton has played in the last four contests, qualifying via the points list each time and collecting 9½ points from 15 matches.

Captain Luke Donald is teeing it up this week but with Hatton playing seven of the season's 11 remaining events, he is eager to start racking up points and take the decision out of his skipper's hands.

"It's definitely an added incentive to come and play this week," he said.

"Playing in the last four Ryder Cups, I've qualified for the team automatically and I'd love to keep that streak going. It's something I'm proud of.

"Hopefully I won't rely upon Luke giving me a phone call to say that I've made the team. Hopefully I can make it automatically again."
