You're going to see a lot of hole by hole looks at the Old Course at St. Andrews this week for the 150th Open Championship. But there's only one written by a three-time Champion Golfer of the Year.

This is a different kind of guest review and first of it's kind actually. And it comes from Adam, one of the players in this year's Play With Pete Invitational at Pasatiempo.
You guys know all about my Play With Pete Invitationals, and this year at Pasatiempo every player was fit on the range for a new Callaway Rogue ST driver and Callaway Chrome golf balls before their rounds began. The entire day was absolutely crazy and wildly fun. And somehow in all the glorious insanity at Pasatiempo Adam found what appears to be that Holy Grail driver calling it a "rocket launcher that will bring his game to a new level."
When you're reading a golf review (or any kind of product review really) you want an honest opinion that helps you make a decision whether something is right for you. And that's exactly what you're getting here from Andrew, the winner of a full set of new Golf Pride CPX grips.
Andrew has given his new CPX grips a pretty thorough testing, and I enjoyed reading his review immensely. It also sounds like Andrew has found an ideal set of grips for his game, calling them "the perfect balance of everything you'd want in a grip with tackiness that's second to none."
Nobody ever said winning a major championship – at any level – is easy. Just ask Padraig Harrington. What looked like it would be an easy Sunday stroll around Saucon Valley Country Club’s Old Course turned into a much-too-close-for-comfort final round of the 42nd U.S. Senior Open Championship.
Harrington, who began the day with a five-stroke cushion, had to sweat out a one-stroke victory over 2019 champion Steve Stricker, becoming the third consecutive player to win this championship in his first appearance, and the 11th overall.
A coveted quadruple in golf? You betcha when it means you win four tournaments in the same week.
And that's what Mitsubishi Golf accomplished this week with wins on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, LPGA Tour, and Korn Ferry Tour.
Padraig Harrington was asked at the end of his Tuesday pre-championship press conference what it would take to win the 42nd U.S. Senior Open at Saucon Valley Country Club’s Old Course. The wily veteran from the Republic of Ireland with three major championships to his name outlined three keys.
Putt well. Drive it well. And above everything else, have a great attitude.
In the lead up to the 150th Open at St. Andrews, Shot Scope has analyzed amateur golfers performance at the historic Old Course.
How does performance on the Old Course compare to other Open Championship courses in the UK? What holes are the hardest? Where can you expect to make a rare birdie? Which green causes the most 3 putts? Where do you need to hit your ball off the tee in order to score well? All of this and many other insights are available through Shot Scope performance tracking.
Padraig Harrington overcame a broken driver during warmups and what he called a rough patch mid-round on Friday to post a 6-under-par 65 and take the 36-hole lead by one stroke over 2019 champion Steve Stricker in the 42nd U.S. Senior Open Championship on the Old Course at Saucon Valley Country Club.
Harrington, of the Republic of Ireland, turned 50 last August and is competing in his first U.S. Senior Open. The three-time major champion (2007 and 2008 British Opens; 2008 PGA Championship) weathered a rainy Round 1 on Thursday morning, then reeled off six birdies in a bogey-free round on Friday afternoon, with three of the birdies coming in a five-hole stretch late in the round.
If your buddy told you he got 10 additional yards off the tee because of his shoes, you’d probably laugh at him. But when 10 of the top 10 PGA players on tour, including No. 2 in the world Jon Rahm are choosing replaceable traction, you gotta listen.
In a recent interview Rahm stated, “I think a game changer is the shoes I’m using this year, they’re different from last year, They’re a lot more comfortable. I’ve done some great work with Cuater and the Travis Mathew team, and I think it’s allowed me to be a little bit more stable and up my ball speed and my swing speed without being concerned.”
TravisMathew, a premium men’s golf and lifestyle brand, today launched its exclusive sweepstakes with St Andrews Links. Running until Aug. 7, TravisMathew is giving fans of the brand a chance to win an all-inclusive trip for two to Scotland to play the historic Old Course and award-winning Castle Course.
“The TravisMathew brand prides itself on bringing a new, fresh offering to the game of golf and with this exclusive sweepstakes we wanted to give back to our loyal customers who share our vision,” said Ryan Ellis, CEO of TravisMathew. “We were thrilled to share the news of our new storefront opening this fall with St Andrews and now we are equally as thrilled to get to share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with a loyal customer.”
It was a tale of two waves on Thursday at the 42nd U.S. Senior Open Championship. Those fortunate enough to avoid the morning rain showers certainly benefited in Round 1 on Saucon Valley Country Club’s Old Course.
Ten of the 11 golfers who broke par on the 6,973-yard, par-71 layout were among those in the afternoon wave. That included Mark Hensby and 68-year-old Jay Haas, both of whom carded 4-under-par 67s to share the lead. Haas, playing in his 17th U.S. Senior Open and 50th USGA championship overall, shot his age for the second time this year, and joined four others to do so in the U.S. Senior Open.
Breakthrough Golf has forever changed the way golfers look at putting when the Stability Shafts were introduced. They revolutionized putting by returning the club face to square at impact for consistently straighter putts.
That same thinking went into developing the new Brava Driver Shaft. It’s a lightweight shaft that delivers the power and consistency to perform shot after shot regardless of swing speed or driver model. It was designed for maximum ball speed and smash factor because it delivers more center strikes and a better face angle.
The Travelers Championship – scheduled for June 23–26 at TPC River Highlands – will host the top-ranked player in the world and four of the top five players in the Official World Golf Rankings. Eight former Travelers Championship winners will also tee it up.
“TPC River Highlands has great balance and variety,” said golf course architect, Bobby Weed. “The New England terrain offers exciting semi-blind and tree-lined holes. Combined with holes along the Connecticut River, there is drama at every turn.”
The Rocket Mortgage Classic today announced several player commitments, as reigning champion Cam Davis will defend his title against the likes of Will Zalatoris and Tony Finau, both ranked among the world’s top 20 golfers.
Additional players include major championship winners and past World No. 1s Justin Rose and Jason Day, PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year frontrunner Cameron Young, nine-time PGA TOUR winner Matt Kuchar, five-time PGA TOUR winner Rickie Fowler and four-time PGA TOUR winner Kevin Kisner.
