Record-breaking Ruth storms to commanding lead at Bowood

James Ruth produced one of the best rounds of his career to break the course record at Bowood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort by two shots and take a seven-shot lead on day one of the English PGA Championship .

The defending champion reached the turn in 33 courtesy of three birdies at two, three and nine before the Devon-based pro went on a birdie blitz on the back nine, holing eight birdies, to finish on 11-under-par (61).

Ruth came into this week’s championship in good form having won 10 PGA events so far in 2023 and he currently leads the PGA South West Order of Merit.

Bowood’s Dave Thomas-designed par 72 parkland course is widely regarded as one of the finest and challenging in the south west region, but Ruth was able to make history by beating Adam Keogh’s previous course record of 63, which he shot on his way to winning the same event in 2021.

“It’s a tough golf course so to shoot 11-under-par is up there with one of the best rounds I’ve ever had,” said an elated Ruth. “I didn’t really miss a shot all day.

“I think I may have shot a 60 once in a PGA tournament, but this is a tough golf course so for me to shoot 61 round there is really pleasing.

“The course was playing pretty scoreable. It was quite soft conditions and it was pretty much target golf so if you could hit the ball well you could shoot a low score out there.

“I’ve been playing pretty good all year, I just haven’t been able to put it all together. I shot some really low scores towards the back end of last year. Today I holed a seven-foot putt for par and then I didn’t really miss a shot after that.”

Ruth’s rivals could be forgiven for thinking he may enter this year’s championship with the extra burden of being the man to beat as defending champion, but the 38-year-old, who represented Great Britain & Ireland at last year's PGA Cup, feels his experience eased any added pressure.

He added: “As defending champion you always feel a little bit nervous on the first tee, especially at one of the big events you play in, but I think you learn to deal with it over the years. I’m 38 now so I’m not getting any younger, but I’m a little more used to it now than others.

“The English PGA Championship is one of the biggest events we play in alongside the PGA Professional Championship and winning this event would mean a lot to me.”

Matthew Cort, winner of this event in 2018 at Saunton, and Ben Hall, are Ruth’s closest rivals seven shots back with both players finishing on four-under-par.

Cort approached the turn level par but holed four birdies on the back nine to finish on 68, while Hall finished on the same score after his impressive a bogey-free round.

CLUTCH And RIVAL SONS Announce 'The Two Headed Beast' North American Tour

Hard-working road hounds CLUTCH have been proving themselves on stage night after night for more than three decades — vocalist Neil Fallon declaring "If you're gonna do it, do it live on stage, or don't do it at all" in their 2013 track "Earth Rocker" . It's an ethos the band still cleave to today.

Since their emergence in 2009, RIVAL SONS have reignited and recharged rock 'n' roll with towering vocals, uncompromising guitar playing, and thunderous grooves to enthusiastic fans the world over.

Fans will soon get another chance to witness the electrifying live magic these skilful musicians conjure, with the announcement today of CLUTCH and RIVAL SONS ' upcoming fall co-headline tour.

Titled "The Two Headed Beast" tour, the North American run is set to captivate 23 cities, kicking off September 5 in Brooklyn, New York and bowing out October 10 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In an unexpected twist, both bands will be performing the majority of songs on one of their best-loved albums: "Blast Tyrant" for CLUTCH and "Great Western Valkyrie" for RIVAL SONS .

As for special guests, FU MANCHU will support from September 5 to September 26, with BLACK STONE CHERRY taking over from September 28 to October 10.

CLUTCH 's chief storyteller Neil Fallon declares: "We are looking forward to our tour with RIVAL SONS . Throughout the course of our set, CLUTCH will be performing 'Blast Tyrant' . Both bands have plenty of mutual fans and will garner many more throughout the course of 'The Two Headed Beast' tour. We hope to see you there!"

Scott Holiday , guitarist of RIVAL SONS , adds: "We've wanted to put something together with CLUTCH for a long time! They're one of the acts that we could notice people rep'ing at our shows, so we've always thought it could make a really great double bill! Happy to bring 'The Two-Headed Beast' to life! The riff will be strong on this tour …as will the good times!"

Tickets go on sale on April 19 at 10 a.m. local time from clutchmerch.com and rivalsons.com/tour.

CLUTCH 's thirteenth studio album, "Sunrise On Slaughter Beach" , was released in September 2022 and is a slamming summary of everything that makes the band great. The band have released three official singles — "Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone)" , "We Strive For Excellence" and "Slaughter Beach" . "Sunrise On Slaughter Beach" is the natural culmination of what CLUTCH began as teenagers in the early 1990s. It's a new chapter in an ever-unfolding story which means as much to the fans as it does to the band.

Double Grammy -nominated band RIVAL SONS released two albums last year to critical acclaim. "Darkfighter" (June 2023) and "Lightbringer" (October 2023) were made available on Low Country Sound / Atlantic Records .

"Head Down" includes the hit single and fan favorite "Keep On Swinging" , plus poppy retro dance numbers "Until The Sun Comes" and "Wild Animal" . An album that showcases the versatility of RIVAL SONS , "Head Down" also includes the classic ballad of death and loss "Jordan" and "Manifest Destiny Parts 1 & 2" , an epic stonking room shaker of betrayal and revenge of the Native American People. Out on May 24, the reissued "Head Down" will be released on their own record label Sacred Tongue Recordings and distributed through Thirty Tigers .

Scottie Scheffler holds massive 5-shot lead as RBC Heritage is called for darkness, set for Monday finish

Scottie scheffler has three holes left to close out the rbc heritage on monday morning.

Scottie Scheffler will have to wait.

Scheffler, who is just a week removed from his second career win at the Masters , came close to picking up his second straight PGA Tour win on Sunday afternoon. Scheffler held a massive five-shot lead over the field when play was called due to darkness at Harbour Town on Sunday night. Scheffler has just three holes to go to close out the RBC Heritage.

While much of the field got their rounds done, Scheffler will head back out to the 16th tee box at 8 a.m. to wrap up his final round. Either way, his win at the RBC Heritage is all but sealed up.

Scheffler entered Saturday's round in South Carolina three shots off the lead, but he quickly jumped to the top of the leaderboard just seven holes later. He finished his third round with a bogey-free 63, which gave him a one-shot advantage heading into Sunday.

While Wyndham Clark put a bit of pressure on Scheffler early on Sunday — Clark posted a 29 on his front nine with five birdies and an eagle, and then finished his final round 65 to get to 15-under on the week — Scheffler didn't miss a step. He chipped in for eagle at the second to immediately get under par for his round, and then took a three-shot lead at the turn. Scheffler pushed that lead to four shots when play was called for more than two hours due to weather.

Scheffler made one last birdie before play was called for the night on Sunday, and he sank a clutch par putt on the 15th green after hitting it into the water earlier on the hole to maintain his lead after the horn had sounded.

Clark was the only golfer at 15-under to finish for the day. Patrick Cantlay, J.T. Poston and Sahith Theegala are all in a tie with him at second with a few holes to go. Justin Thomas is in a tie for sixth, though he's done with his tournament. Ludvig Aberg — who finished in second last week at Augusta National — and Patrick Rodgers are both with Thomas at 14-under on the week. They'll finish up on Monday morning, too.

Assuming Scheffler can win on Monday morning, it will mark his 10th career victory on the PGA Tour. He'll be the third-fastest to hit that mark behind only Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Scheffler will enter a 49th consecutive week at No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings on Monday morning regardless of the finish.

Scheffler will be just the third Masters winner to win the following week on Tour if he can close out the win, and the first since Bernhard Langer did so in 1985. Gary Player was the first to pull that off in 1978. Scheffler will also be the first major championship winner to win the following week on Tour since Woods in 2006.

Zurich Classic set for dramatic finish with Rory McIlroy/Shane Lowry two back in team debut

Change Text Size

After his partner put his approach shot in the water on the 16th, Rory McIlroy calmly knocked a wedge to about 20 feet and rolled in the curling birdie putt, celebrating with a fist pump.

“Rory McIlroy had shown up,” according to partner Shane Lowry, as McIlroy made birdies on his own ball on Nos. 9, 10, 11, 13, 16 and 18. The Irish duo are firmly in the mix through 54 holes at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

McIlroy – who is making his debut at this event this week – and Lowry shot an 8-under 64 Saturday at TPC Louisiana. They’re just two shots back of the lead held by Zac Blair and Patrick Fishburn at 23-under heading into Sunday’s finale, with Luke List and Henrik Norlander (who finished tied for 23rd together last year) in second at 22-under.

McIlroy and Lowry are tied with Ryan Brehm and Mark Hubbard for third.

There are a few TOUR winners hovering around the top of the board (including last year’s runners-up Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin among the four teams a shot back of McIlroy and Lowry at 20 under) but the major-winning pedigree held by McIlroy and Lowry, clad again in matching outfits Saturday – blue polos and khakis for the third round – should help give them a bit of a spring in their step for Sunday.

“I think today was about staying patient knowing that the course was going to present some opportunities, especially on that back nine, and I think our patience was rewarded with the chances that we gave ourselves and rolled a couple of putts in on the back and kept ourselves in it,” McIlroy said.

Rory McIlroy sinks clutch birdie putt at Zurich Classic

McIlroy and Lowry – friends for about 25 years – started slowly, going out in 3-under, but made three birdies in the first four holes after making the turn and shot 5 under on the back nine.

They were only 1-under through six holes and saw Fishburn and Blair put a bow on their 12-under 60 effort – just one shot off the Four-ball scoring record.

“We absolutely finished strong," McIlroy said. "It was a tricky day. The wind was blowing. We had some chances early on that we didn't take advantage of. We birdied the two par 5s on the front nine and then we definitely got it going around the turn. I hit a lovely shot into (hole) 9 and was able to convert that, and I think that gave us some really good momentum going into the back nine."

Making a birdie at the ninth, McIlroy continued, was a “game changer.”

“I think that 6-iron he hit into (hole) 9 and he rolled the putt got us going, and from there on in, it was Rory McIlroy at his best, and it was a joy to watch,” Lowry added.

“I knew we had a lot of holes to play, but certainly when we were 1-under through 6 and a long way down the leaderboard, I knew we needed to get something going.”

No matter where a duo ended up on the leaderboard, the winds at TPC Louisiana were a scoring speedbump on Saturday. The teams all had to navigate the blustery blows.

“It’s a pretty similar direction as the rest of the week but just a lot stronger,” said Hubbard, after his team shot an 8-under 64. "There's just some holes out here that even if you know it's blowing one direction, like (Nos.) 9 and 18, they should play a little down off the right and for some reason they always seem to have a little hurt on those approach shots – and they're tough shots into those greens. To have to trust a certain club or certain line that you might not be comfortable with, that's tough.”

The wind is set to be a factor again on Sunday, where the final round will once again be alternate shot.

That’s a format where anything can happen, but McIlroy said to be just two back of the lead is a solid position to be in. He and Lowry are eager to make a final-round move and return to the winner’s circle on the PGA TOUR.

“I thought it was important to finish the way we did,” McIlroy said, “excited to have a chance to win tomorrow.”
