Tommy Fleetwood Fades Again While Justin Rose Takes $3.6M FedEx St. Jude Paycheck
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Tommy Fleetwood again fell just short of his first PGA Tour title, finishing tied for third at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The Englishman started the third round leading by one stroke but was unable to avoid being overtaken by Justin Rose and JJ Spaun. Fleetwood carded three birdies and two bogeys on Sunday for a final round score of 69, taking his 72-hole score to 15-under. His three birdies came between holes 12 and 15, when he temporarily regained the lead, but a bogey on the 17th eliminated his chances of challenging for the title in a playoff. "I'm obviously going to be disappointed," he told the reporters after his final-round performance. "I think -- I said last time, there's a lot of positives to take, as much as I don't really -- I won't feel like that right now. I'm just going to look at what I feel like I could have done and how close it was. You know, we move on. There's another week that's next and I've just got to reflect on today and obviously keep pushing forward and try and put myself in that position again." Classy interview from Tommy. Hope he gets it done soon. — Flushing It (@flushingitgolf) August 10, 2025 This is Fleetwood's sixth third-place finish in his PGA Tour career, with six other second-place finishes. The most recent of these came at the Travelers Championship, when he also lost to Keegan Bradley on the final hole. Meanwhile, JJ Spaun and Rose finished tied in regulation at 16-under. Spaun fired 5-under for the final round to climb three spots on the leaderboard, while Rose carded three under, to tie for the lead. The playoff extended to three holes. The Englishman took home his 12th career PGA Tour title, as well as the $3.6 million paycheck reserved for the winner.

Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose of Team Great Britain & Ireland walk off the 18th green after winning their match during the foursomes matches on day two of the Team Cup at Abu Dhabi Golf Resort on January 11, 2025 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. More"Played unbelievable golf coming down the stretch," Rose told the reporters after winning the event. "I had so much fun with it. 18 was playing perfectly for me today. If I pulled it, I carried it, if I held it up -- I hit a couple good putts in regulation and in the first playoff hole as well. Obviously J.J. dropped a bomb on me, I topped him. It was a lot of fun today." "That's why I practice. That's why I play. I've been saying for some time now, obviously Augusta, when I bring my best, I know I'm good enough to play and to compete, and to now win against the best players in the world. Very gratifying day for me and a lot of hard work coming to fruition." With this victory, Rose will climb to fourth in the FedEx Cup rankings, behind only Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and JJ Spaun. Rose already knows what it's like to win the FedEx Cup, having done so in 2018. More Golf: Max Homa Cheers Wife as Newborn Son, Austin, Adds Joy to Family

Burns tees off with US Open lead as McIlroy finds more misery
SAM BURNS, chasing his first major title, teed off with a one-stroke lead in Saturday's third round of the US Open, while second-ranked Rory McIlroy found more misery at rain-soaked Oakmont. Burns, a 28-year-old American whose most recent win came at the 2023 WGC Match Play, was on three-under par 137 for 36 holes, a stroke ahead of last-pair US playing partner J.J. Spaun. Norway's Viktor Hovland was two back and the only other player under par as the leaders began their trek over the iconic and intimidating layout in quest of a $4.3 million top prize. An inch of rain drenched Oakmont overnight with more on Saturday, leaving the course receptive for 67 players making the cut on seven-over 147. Big names still struggled while others made charges. McIlroy made bogeys on three of his last five holes to fire a four-over par 74 and stand on 10-over, 13 strokes adrift. 'I was hoping to play better, but I didn't,' McIlroy said, calling his tournament 'pretty average' so far. Advertisement 'The name of the game this week is staying patient, and try to do a good job of it out there,' McIlroy said. 'But it's one of those golf courses that you can lose patience on pretty quickly.' Rory McIlroy just have an emotive press conference explaining why he has been skipping media; 'It's more a frustration with you guys.' This is worth a watch. — Flushing It (@flushingitgolf) June 14, 2025 McIlroy, who completed a career Grand Slam by winning the Masters for his fifth major title, missed a seven-foot putt to bogey the third hole and took a penalty drop, leading to a bogey at nine. He dropped his approach inside four feet to set up a birdie at the 10th but found a greenside bunker at 11 and made bogey then lipped out from inside four feet to bogey 14 and missed the green at the par-three 16th on the way to bogey. McIlroy found a greenside bunker off the 17th tee but blasted out inches from the hole and tapped in for birdie, only to find the right rough off the 18th tee on the way to bogey. Asked what he looked for on Sunday, McIlroy said, 'Hopefully a round in under four and a half hours and get out of here.' - Scheffler struggling - Third-ranked American Xander Schauffele, the reigning British Open champion, fired a 71 to stand on seven-over 217. Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, seeking back-to-back major titles after taking last month's PGA Championship, had two birdies and three bogeys in his first eight holes to fall to five-over. Scheffler opened with a three-putt bogey, dropped in a 13-foot birdie putt on the right side of the hole at two, curved in a 19-foot birdie putt at the par-three sixth, but made a three-putt bogey at the par-three eighth and a bogey at nine after a penalty drop. Two-time major winner Jon Rahm of Spain sank a birdie putt from just inside 14 feet at the second, made bogey at three after finding a fairway bunker, then sank a 23-foot birdie putt at the par-three eighth to stand on three-over. There were bright spots, Scotland's Robert MacIntyre among them. The reigning Scottish Open champion birdied the second on a 12-foot putt and the sixth from 19 feet to stand two-over after 13 holes. Third-generation American golf pro Sam Stevens, whose grandfather made 30 PGA Tour starts in the 1960s, was on one-over after he sank a 20-foot birdie putt at the third hole and holed out from just inside 16 feet at the par-five fourth. Mexico's Carlos Ortiz was also on one-over after birdies at the fourth and sixth from just inside eight and six feet respectively. Denmark's Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen reeled off four consecutive birdies to stand one-over after seven holes. – © AFP 2025 You can view the full leaderboard here

Ian Poulter's Son Attempts to do What Tiger Woods' Son, Charlie Couldn't
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The USGA and the world's top players will return to Oakmont for the U.S. Open June 12-15. Many players, like Max Homa and Rickie Fowler, are attempting to qualify for the third major of the year. They are not the only ones. Charlie Woods, who just captured his first win at the Team TaylorMade Invitational, attempted to qualify earlier in May. However, Tiger's 16-year-old son faltered at the May 9 qualifier and did not advance. Now it's time for another golf legend's son to try it. LIMERICK, IRELAND - JULY 05: Ian Poulter of England with his caddie and son Luke Poulter at the 9th hole during Day Two of the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare on July 05, 2022 in... LIMERICK, IRELAND - JULY 05: Ian Poulter of England with his caddie and son Luke Poulter at the 9th hole during Day Two of the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare on July 05, 2022 in Limerick, Ireland. More Photo byLuke Poulter, Ian Poulter's 21-year-old son, is in the final stages of getting into the U.S. Open field. He shot a 5-under 66 in his qualifier at Hawkstone Country Club in Gainesville, Florida, on May 8 to advance. It was a full-circle moment for him after he hurt his back in 2024 during this process. Luke will play in one of the 10 final qualifiers taking place across the country on Monday, June 2, also known as the 'Longest Day in Golf.' A year ago Luke Poulter injured his back at US Open qualifying forcing him to withdraw and take the next few months off to recover. Yesterday he shot a 5 under 66 to advance to US Open finals and he's now just 2 rounds away from potentially playing in his first major 🙌 — Flushing It (@flushingitgolf) May 9, 2025 Nine locations are in the United States, and one is in Canada, at Lambton Golf & Country Club in York, Ontario. Luke is among the 84 players who will play at Emerald Dunes Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, for one of the limited spots in the U.S. Open. It will not be easy for him as his qualifier has stout competition. The Florida Gator redshirt sophomore is in the field with the 2010 U.S. Open champ, Graeme McDowell. Poulter had a fantastic year with the Gators. He won his first collegiate title at the Schenkel Invitational at Forest Heights Country Club in Georgia this past March with an 8-under overall score. The 21-year-old had five top 10s this season and finished T4 at the NCAA Bremerton Regional in Washington a couple of weeks ago. He recorded a career tournament low with a 10-under 206 score. Poulter also recently earned a spot on the International Team for the 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup and PING All-Region for 2025. Much like Tiger Woods is with his son Charlie, Ian Poulter is quite proud of his son's accomplishments. He also never misses an opportunity to brag about Luke on social media. However, Luke has a chance to do something that Charlie couldn't do. Granted, he has five years on the young Woods, but it is something to note. Fans interested in U.S. Open final qualifying can watch on Monday from noon to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to midnight on the Golf Channel. Scoring from all of the locations can be found at Players will play 36 holes on Monday to see who will be at Oakmont in a couple weeks.

Herbert heroics in vain as Niemann wins LIV Golf Mexico
Lucas Herbert has upstaged celebrated countryman Cameron Smith with a record-equalling final round in a crazy climax to LIV Golf Mexico City. Sunday specialist Joaquin Niemann delivered yet again to reel in Bryson De Chambeau and claim a third victory of the season as Herbert scorched home to finish joint runner-up. Like he did in Adelaide and Singapore, Niemann fired a brilliant final-round 65 as he surged to 16 under and a three-shot triumph over Herbert (61) and De Chambeau (71), with Jon Rahm (68) outright fourth. Niemann's LIV victory matches Brookes Koepka's tally and earned the Chilean a ticket to the US Open at Oakmont Country Club in June. Despite matching Rahm's course-record 10 under with eight birdies and a chip-in eagle two on the par-4 11th hole, Herbert also had to settle for second in the teams' event as his Ripper GC mates let him down. For all of Herbert's heroics, Smith (72), Matt Jones (74) and Marc Leishman (74) were a combined eight over on Sunday, leaving Ripper GC two strokes adrift of Rahm's triumphant Legion XIII outfit. Lucas Herbert has just gone birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie to get within 1 at LIV Golf Mexico. He's 10 under par for his round through 16 holes, this is a serious Sunday charge! 🔥 🇦🇺 — Flushing It (@flushingitgolf) April 27, 2025 On a day of wildly fluctuating fortunes, the all-Australian team watched a five-shot lead turn into a six-stroke deficit, then briefly a late two-shot advantage. But ultimately Ripper skipper Smith's failure to fire down the stretch will likely hurt most. The 2022 British Open champion started the day just one shot behind De Chambeau but ended with his winless drought stretching to 20 months. Smith couldn't buy a birdie on the front nine, opening with eight straight grinding pars as DeChambeau also struggled to find his A game. Smith's run of 20 successive holes without a dropped shot ended with a bogey on the ninth as DeChambeau hit the turn with a one-stroke advantage over the charging Niemann. Despite a couple of late birdies, there was no coming back for Smith after he made a mess of the par-4 11th from the middle of the fairway to slip five behind. The one-time world No.2 eventually tied for fifth at 11 under with Englishman Tyrrel Hatton (68).
