AUSTIN, Texas — Keegan Bradley still hasn't won a match in 16 tries over 11 years in the Dell Technologies Match Play. His halve on the opening day sure felt like a win.

Danny Lee is a winner in his second event playing for Saudi-funded LIV Golf. Lee birdied his last two holes for a 69. That got him into a four-man playoff with Louis Oosthuizen, Brendan Steele and Carlos Ortiz. Lee missed a 5-foot birdie putt for the win on the first playoff hole. Playing the 18th hole again, he missed the green to the right. Even though he was 10 feet off the green, he used a putter and the ball rattled off the pin and disappeared for the winning birdie. It's his first win since 2015.

Spieth was tied for the lead until hitting his drive into the wa
Marc Leishman has a two-shot lead over Sergio Garcia going into the third and final round of LIV Golf Tucson. Leishman had the ideal start at the Gallery Golf Club. He opened with an eagle and was 4 under for his round through eight holes. The Australian cooled, but he didn't let the round go south on him. One last birdie gave him a 66. Garcia had eight birdies in his round of 66. The Spaniard was just as excited that his Fireballs team had a one-shot lead in the team competition. Louis Oosthuizen was among four players three back.
Adam Schenk never looked like he would be leading the Valspar Championship until his final putt. Schenk made a 5-foot birdie for a 70. That gives him a one-shot lead over Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood as he goes for his first PGA Tour win. Spieth looked to be in control for so much of the round at Innisbrook. But with five birdies and an eagle came plenty of mistakes. Spieth took his fifth bogey of the day on the 18th hole for a 69. Fleetwood was just the opposite. He had 16 pars and two birdies for a 69.
Adam Schenk is leading the Valspar Championship and no one can accuse him of being rusty. Schenk is playing for the 10th consecutive week, a stretch that began in Honolulu with the Sony Open. His wife is expecting their first child in little more than a month, and the Indiana native is trying to get in as many tournaments as he can.
Marc Leishman is the leader after the first of three rounds at LIV Golf Tucson. Leishman made a series of lengthy birdie putts for a 65 at The Gallery.

Ryan Brehm was having a solid round in the Valspar Championship. One swing made it a memorable round. Brehm made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole. That led to a 66 and gives Brehm a three-way share of the lead with Stephan Jaeger and Adam Schenk. Jordan Spieth is in the group one shot behind. Spieth only hit five fairways.
Golf's governing bodies want the golf ball to go a little shorter for the biggest hitters. The U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Golf have released a proposal for a new test that would require different golf balls for elite competition.
Scottie Scheffler is on another big run. That's how it was last year when he won four times in six starts and capped it off with the Masters. Now there seems to be a greater appreciation for what Scheffler is capable of doing. The 26-year-old from Dallas won The Players Championship by five shots. That's his second win in the last four starts. He nearly won at Bay Hill the week before. Scheffler is back to No. 1 in the world and his next two starts are tournaments he won last year.

A long day at The Players Championship has ended with Masters champion Scottie Scheffler in the lead.

He had a 66 after a bogey on his final hole. It was a long day for Scheffler. Because of rain delays, he played 26 holes Saturday. It was an exciting day for Tom Hoge. He made the cut on the number and then set the TPC Sawgrass record at 62.
Storms have interrupted The Players Championship. Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Adam Svensson share the lead at 8-under par. They are among half the field that returns Saturday morning to finish the second round. Chad Ramey had a three-shot lead when he put two balls in the water on the island-green 17th for a quintuple bogey. Max McGreevy shot 89 to tie the record for the highest score on the Stadium Course. Jon Rahm missed all the action. He withdrew before the round with a stomach bug. Scottie Scheffler was three back and has a shot at going back to No. 1.
The TPC Sawgrass is one of the most unpredictable courses in golf. And it got a most unpredictable leaderboard after one round of The Players Championship. The leader is Chad Ramey, who had never seen the Stadium Course until this week. He shot a bogey-free 64 and leads by one over Collin Morikawa.

Kurt Kitayama kept finishing one shot behind the game's best players. He beat them all at Bay Hill on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory.

These elevated events on the PGA Tour have brought out some great battles. More of the same is expected at Bay Hill. Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have traded turns at No. 1 in the world ranking. It's the most turnover at the top for the opening two months of the year since the world ranking began in 1986. All three have a chance to leave Bay Hill with the No. 1 ranking. The field is particularly strong this year with a $20 million purse. It features nine of the top 10 players in the world.
The PGA Tour has approved sweeping changes to its 2024 schedule. That starts with 16 designated events that includes the majors. Eight of them will not have cuts and will have fields of no more than 80 players. Commissioner Jay Monahan informed the players of the changes in a memo. Those changes include the Player Impact Program bonus being cut from $100 million for 20 players to $50 million for 10 players. The rest of the money is redirected into performance bonus pools. It also includes room for players on the outside to play their way into the elite events.
Chris Kirk waited nearly eight years to win a PGA Tour event again. Waiting one more hole on Sunday was no problem. Kirk stuck his approach to the par-5 18th to tap-in range, and his birdie on the first hole of a playoff lifted him past Eric Cole for the victory at the Honda Classic on Sunday.
