A coveted quadruple in golf? You betcha when it means you win four tournaments in the same week.

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.
Award-winning Italian lifestyle brand, and golf footwear trendsetter, Duca del Cosma, will exhibit at the 2022 PGA Buying and Education Summit and Show on Monday, July 11th and Tuesday, July 12th which will be held at the JW Marriott in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The U.S. Senior Open kicks off this week with 156 golfers in the field. Saucon Valley Country Club previously hosted this championship in 1992 and 2000.
Some big names will be playing the Old Course at Saucon, and here's a deep dive into the field and championship history.
The new Titleist TSR drivers – the next generation of the most played drivers on the PGA TOUR – are making their worldwide debut this week at the Travelers Championship.
Today’s introduction of the new TSR drivers, together with the new TSR fairway metals, marks the start of the tour seeding and validation process for the upcoming Titleist metalwoods line.
Matt Fitzpatrick is a champion once again at The Country Club.
The 27-year-old Englishman who triumphed nine years ago at this iconic venue when he claimed the U.S. Amateur, became just the 13th man and the first non-American to also add the U.S. Open Championship to his portfolio.
It's common in the golf industry for companies to say they won this tournament or that tournament when the player uses its clubs. Sometimes it can only be one club. And other times still that club was not really instrumental in the win.
When Matt Fitzpatrick won the US Open earlier today at The Country Club however, Mitsubishi Golf shafts played an absolutely crucial role in his breakout major championship victory.
Saucon Valley Country Club (Old Course) will host the 2022 U.S. Senior Open Championship next week and will be set up at 7,028 yards and play to a par of 36-35–71.
The yardage for each round of the championship will vary due to course setup and conditions.
If championship Sunday in the 122nd U.S. Open can match the high drama of Round 3 on Saturday at The Country Club, fans are in for a wild ride. The way the lead kept flipping, one almost felt sorry for the folks manning the leader boards.
By the end of a turbulent and challenging day when temperatures dropped into the 60s, winds gusted in the mid-20s and red numbers were replaced by red faces, two players seeking their first major championship – and a bit of history – led the way.
For Collin Morikawa, the last couple of months have been a search to regain the form that led to a pair of major titles. His five starts since a solo fifth at the Masters in April have resulted in no better than a tie for 26th. That stretch includes a missed cut at the Memorial Tournament and a T-55 in last month’s PGA Championship.
Those aren’t results that people are accustomed to seeing from the world No. 7.
