It’s Monday (late night) so time for What’s Going on in Triad Golf? With Chris Kirk’s tie for fifth at the Wyndham Championship, the Ryder Cup approaching and U.S. captain Keegan Bradley here at Sedgefield, I came up with a hope for the future. When Scheffler captains a future U.S. team — very likely —…
With his easy victory Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club, Cameron Young didn’t leave any doubt. Maybe there shouldn’t have been any doubters. With one round to play at the Wyndham Championship, the tournament’s most-popular topic seemed to be whether Young could win a PGA Tour event. After all, in his 93 previous attempts, he’d finished…
Pennson Badgett didn’t win the Junior PGA Championship. But the 17-year-old Pilot Mountain golfer beat Tiger Woods’ son Charlie head-to-head in the final threesome in the final round. Badgett shot even-par 71 Friday at Purdue University’s Ackerman-Allen Course and finished in a tie for fourth place. Badgett posted 12-under 273 in the 72-hole tournament played…
It might be easy to assume that Wake Forest graduate Cameron Young has a home course advantage at Sedgefield Country Club for the Wyndham Championship. Especially after watching him finish with five consecutive birdies on the front nine (his back nine) Thursday to post 7-under-par 63. And he capped the round by sinking a 20-foot…

But truth is, eligible players have until late Friday afternoon to commit. And it’s not unusual for a few withdrawals in the days leading up to the first…
Holly Ridge Golf Links does things differently than most public golf courses – from the online booking of an exclusive tee time through the 19th hole service provided by robots in a leather sofa-filled lounge surrounded by golf simulators. That’s because when Luke Hollingsworth took over as sole owner in 2007, the golf course business wasn’t…
Leah Edwards of Greensboro shot 79 Tuesday at Atlanta Athletic Club and will likely fall one or two strokes short of making the cut at the U.S. Girls’ Junior when the second round is completed Wednesday morning. Edwards, who opened with 71 Monday, struggled after making an opening birdie Tuesday morning. At 8-over-par 150, she…
Davis Womble of Winston-Salem finished second July 11 in the 111th Carolinas Amateur at Pinehurst No. 7. Womble, a former Wake Forest player, rallied to shoot 1-under-par 71 in the final round after making double bogey on the first hole. He finished at 13-under 273 for 72 holes, one stroke behind Chandler Mulkey of Johns…
