This pro played the season’s stretch run without a driver. Here’s why

Scott Stallings played the final month of the PGA Tour season without a driver – and not because he lost it or broke it. The 37-year-old made the surprising decision to ditch his driver in favor of a 3-wood, and it paid off. Stallings finished the season with three top-10 finishes, including a runner-up finish at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. So why did Stallings decide to give up his driver? He says it was simply a matter of finding what works best for his game.

Jon Rahm’s U.S. Open tune-up ends in ominous fashion

Jon Rahm’s U.S. Open tune-up ended in ominous fashion as the world number two carded a disappointing 76 in the final round of the PGA Tour Mayakoba Classic. The Spaniard, who has not won since the Mexico Open in May 2022, looked out of sorts throughout the day and never really threatened to challenge for the title.

Rahm’s struggles will be a concern for the U.S. Open, which starts next week at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. The 28-year-old is one of the favorites for the championship, but his recent form suggests that he may not be at his best.

World No. 2 Vu withdraws from Chevron Championship due to shoulder discomfort

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — World No. 2 Vu withdrew from the LPGA Chevron Championship on Thursday due to shoulder discomfort.

Vu said she is “very disappointed” to miss the Chevron Championship, but she is following the advice of her doctors and physical therapists.

“I’m really hoping to be back competing soon,” said Vu, who won her first major championship at last year’s Amundi Evian Championship.

Vu is the second top-ranked player to withdraw from the Chevron Championship. World No. 1 Ko Jin-young withdrew on Tuesday due to a wrist injury.
