    1 week ago | bbc.com | Iain Carter

    Scheffler - who pipped Dechambeau to finish fourth behind McIlroy at the Masters - was utterly dominant in his hometown tournament last week, posting rounds of 61, 63, 66 and 63. His aggregate of 253 at TPC Craig Ranch equalled the PGA Tour record. In claiming his 14th tour victory, the 28-year-old Texan was top in no fewer than 14 statistical categories.

  • World Handicap System manipulators are cheats - says R&A

    3 weeks ago | bbc.com | Iain Carter

    WHS was brought in to help make golf more inclusive. Players do not have to be a club member to acquire a handicap which can then be used at any course in the world. In line with scores submitted, golfers are given a 'handicap index' which will provide the appropriate number of shots for the difficulty of the course they are playing. This should enable players of all abilities to play against each other.
