US golden boy Luke Clanton can take Ludvig Aberg charge to Ryder Cup big stage
Superkid makes pro debut in exactly same place as Swede and can repeat his trick Lightning Luke Clanton is walking exactly the same path as Ludvig Aberg. Now the hotly-discussed topic is whether or not the new golden boy of golf in the United States can emulate the Swede and make a remarkable charge straight to The Ryder Cup. Clanton has teed it up as a professional for the first time at the RBC Canadian Open having earned his card by accruing 20 PGA Tour University Accelerated points between last year's US Open and this year's Cognizant Classic. The 21-year-old had incredible success on the PGA Tour as a college golfer and notched four Top 10 finishes in 2024 which made him the the first amateur since Jack Nicklaus in 1961 with three or more in a year. Clanton is now on the big stage as a fully-fledged pro and already there is talk of forging his way into Keegan Bradley's side for the clash against Europe in September. If that seems unlikely, the template is there with Aberg. The Scandinavian's brilliant college career saw him rocket into the professional ranks and take his first steps exactly two years ago at the Canadian Open, just like Clanton now. And Aberg was in Rome just three months later to assist Europe to success in Rome after captain Luke Donald took a calculated gamble on his brilliance. Clanton now has a pathway to do the same with doors open for spots at this stage in Bradley's side for the New York blockbuster and, ironically, Clanton and Aberg are paired together with Rory McIlroy for the opening two days in Caldeon. The kid is taking it one step at a time and said: 'The expectations are always going to be pretty high for sure. "But I think I have a great team behind me with the process that we have. It's the first start as a pro, so it's a little bit nerve-wracking. "We've handled ourselves really well through my amateur career. And we're going to try to do the same as a pro. 'It's an unbelievable moment. We've been waiting for this moment, for a couple months now. "But I was so focused with the team in college golf and trying to win national championships and trying to play the best I can. It was definitely hard. "But I'm excited to get my pro debut going and see how it goes. But it's just amazing to be here. It's a dream come true to be out here in general to play on the PGA Tour.' Although Clanton finished two shots worse off than Aberg on his first day, he outgunned McIlroy by one with his level-par effort and admits it was a thrill as he stated: 'Being paired with Rory is no joke. "The crowds are amazing. Watching him hit drivers and iron shots, it's cool. "I watched him growing up my whole life, so I guess you could say he's like the Tiger Woods of my life. 'I didn't sleep very much. To meet Rory and play with him and be out there with Ludvig as well, two great ball strikers. "First pro start with Rory McIlroy, it's definitely a day to remember.'

Red faced Phil Mickelson rinsed as LIV Golf star left munching humble pie after social media howler
It didn't take long for the American star's prediction on Scottie Scheffler to backfire spectacularly Phil Mickelson was forced to chomp humble pie after a social-media howler. The LIV Golf star was left looking daft after Scottie Scheffler scorched to a blistering eight-shot success at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson. After the World No.1's slowish start to 2025, Mickelson posted a recent critique which read: 'Here's a hot take. Does Scottie win in 2025 before The Ryder Cup? I don't think so.' Former Masters champion and TV broadcaster Trevor Immelman was straight onto that comment at the time by replying: 'Phil, this is not just hot, it's scalding! Let's all keep a receipt on this and revisit throughout the season.' It didn't take long for Mickelson to proved spectacularly wrong as Scheffler raced to his remarkable weekend success in Texas. To his credit, the six-time Major winner returned to his social-media platform in the wake of the World No.1's win and accepted: 'So I might of been off on that one. Congrats to Scottie on a great performance.' As Scheffler was winning the Byron Nelson, Mickelson was in Korea competing in a LIV event where he finished 50th in the tournament won by Bryson DeChambeau.

Jose Maria Olazabal gets honest over Ryder Cup vice captaincy as Spaniard joins team seeking US away day glory
Jose-Maria Olazabal admits he had New York trepidation before agreeing to extend his incredible run at The Ryder Cup. The 59-year-old has accepted European skipper Luke Donald 's invitation to join the fight for away glory over the United States at Bethpage. Olazabal was the last Euro winning captain in America at Medinah 13 years ago and links up with the squad having also played in seven from 1987 to 2006 and also been vice leader four times, the last of which came in Rome as Donald's side won in 2023. The Spaniard went with his heart, but confessed taking his time before saying yes to join Thomas Bjorn and Edoardo Molinari in the valued backroom team. Olazabal said: 'It is wonderful news. When Luke approached me and asked me about the possibility of being a Vice Captain again, I have to be honest, I thought about it for a while because being in New York, it's not going to be easy. 'But the Ryder Cup is very close to my heart. I have wonderful memories about this event so I said yes. 'I think Luke did a wonderful job in Rome and I believe he will do a very good job this time round too. 'He took care of absolutely all the details: players, caddies, families. It was wonderful to see some of the lines he came up with and the images from past champions. 'It was great also to see him working the way he did during the week, being so close to the players. It was fantastic to be part of that Ryder Cup team. 'It's really hard to win away from home in the United States. In New York, we know the crowds are going to be very loud and the golf course will be set up in favour of the US team, we'll have to handle that, too. 'I think there is not any bigger challenge for a golfer than facing a Ryder Cup away from home and we have to be mentally prepared for that.' Donald, who will be bolstered by having the likes of career Grand Slam-winning star Rory McIlroy in his side, said: 'I am delighted to welcome Jose María back to the vice captain role. He is synonymous with European golf and the Ryder Cup and everything it represents. So to have him back as part of my backroom team is incredibly positive for us. 'He bleeds blue and gold like nobody else. His passion for the Ryder Cup is second to none. He is just an inspiration to so many players, which made such a difference in Rome. 'It's also extremely important for us to know we have the last Captain to have won on foreign soil on our side. 'I was part of that team as a player and got to witness his never-give-up attitude and the inspiration he drew from Seve that week. 'There might be some tough times in New York when we all need that experience, that passion and that mentality.'
