Back Nine Bandits Webb and Rhodes Crash Favorites’ Party at 86th Anderson Memorial Fourball

MAMARONECK, NY – They jokingly refer to themselves the “Back Nine Bandits,” but despite the saucy nickname Holliday Farms Club’s duo of Blair Webb and Andrew Rhodes have rallied their way into the semi-finals of the 86th John G.

Winged Foot Bites Back – Woods, Five Other Former Champs Miss U.S. Open Cut

Tiger Woods was among seven former U.S. Open champions to miss the cut at the 2020 U.S. Open. In clear but windy conditions at Winged Foot Golf Club’s West course, Woods followed Thursday’s milquetoast 73 with a ghastly 77, 10-over par, four shots over the cut line and 14 back of leader Patrick Reed. It’s the third missed cut in the last four U.S...

Justin Thomas Stumbles, Patrick Reed Leads Halfway Through the 2020 U.S. Open

Winged Foot, Graveyard of Champions

—Of cruel and mighty Winged Foot now to you I sadly sing And all the lost and broken men who felt her deadly sting Who wander now as shadows in her darkness ever more To roam her haunted passageways forsaken and forlorn But chief among the cursed souls that in that valley dwell A phantasm malevolent, most terrible and fell The Ghost of U.S. Opens Past is her...
