Gooch part of 3-way tie atop LIV Greenbrier at 63

Talor Gooch, despite facing a PGA Tour suspension for his involvement with LIV Golf, is igniting a storm after receiving a special invite to compete in the 2023 PGA Championship. The PGA of America’s decision to grant Gooch an exemption, based solely on his performance, has drawn criticism.

Gooch, a nine-time PGA Tour winner and former world No. 20, was granted the exemption because the PGA of America believes he deserves a place in the field based on merit. However, the PGA Tour has suspended LIV Golf members, making this invitation a subject of controversy.

The PGA of America maintains that its decision is not based on affiliation but solely on Gooch’s play. This move has caused a stir, with many questioning the fairness of allowing Gooch to participate in the PGA Championship while being suspended from the PGA Tour.

Rory McIlroy is already poking U.S., one year out from the Ryder Cup

McIlroy Takes Aim at U.S., Ahead of Ryder Cup

With a year to go until the Ryder Cup, Rory McIlroy has already started firing shots at Team USA.

The European star, who captained Team Europe in the last tournament, has put the Americans on notice, saying that they will not be able to beat Europe on home soil.

“I think at Whistling Straits, we were probably fortunate to come out on top,” said McIlroy. “We knew that going into that U.S. team, they were probably one of the strongest U.S. teams outside the Tiger Woods years. So, we’re very fortunate to come out on top.

“We’re going to have a lot of that fortune on our side, I feel like, when we go back there to Rome because we’re playing in front of a home crowd. We’re going to have the crowd support. We’re going to have the momentum. And I think all that stuff is going to be important.”

After a disappointing first-round 62, Shane Lowry continued his impressive form at the Open by recovering from a lost-ball ruling to maintain his lead at Royal St George’s.

Lowry had carded four birdies in his opening nine holes when his tee shot on the 11th found a gorse bush. After a thorough search, the Irishman was deemed to have taken an unplayable lie and incurred a one-stroke penalty. But the setback failed to derail Lowry’s momentum as he bounced back with birdies on the 12th and 15th greens to stay one clear of the field on 10 under par.
