It’s been a long time since Robert Gamez, 50, a Vegas native now living in Orlando, has been featured in the news. But it was a regular occurrence when he was a teenager.
Tiger Woods says a sore neck that kept him out of Bay Hill last week is no longer painful.
British Open champion Francesco Molinari delivered another big moment on the 18th green at Bay Hill, without wearing a red shirt and leaving the flag stick in the cup. His 45-foot birdie putt capped off an 8-under 64 to come from five shots behind Sunday and win the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The participation and financial numbers are continuing to grow for disc golf players. The Professional Disc Golf Association recently held one of its top events in Henderson.
During the final round of the Southern Highlands Collegiate played at Southern Highlands, UNLV sophomore Jack Trent bogeyed the 17th hole and lipped out a birdie putt on 18.
Arguably the most legendary tale in Las Vegas golf history involves PGA Tour golfer Gene “the Machine” Littler and singer Frankie Laine.
Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the Arnold Palmer Invitational with what he describes as a neck strain.
Keith Mitchell made a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday to win The Honda Classic for his first PGA Tour victory to earn a trip to the Masters.
Seven of the country’s top 17 men’s college golf teams will compete in the Southern Highlands Collegiate from Sunday through March 5 at Southern Highlands.
Dustin Johnson struggled early, caught a good break from behind a tree and then breezed to his sixth World Golf Championship title Sunday by closing with a 5-under 66 for a five-shot victory over Rory McIlroy in the Mexico Championship.
Last Monday, the new owners re-introduced the private club during a media event that featured current Las Vegas mayor Carolyn Goodman and former mayor Oscar Goodman, who previously were members.
UNLV senior Elizabeth Prior held the lead at 4 under when the second round of the Rebel Beach Invitational was suspended due to darkness Monday at Spanish Trail Country Club.
A marathon finish was only part of the challenge facing J.B. Holmes. He also had to contend with a four-shot deficit against Justin Thomas on greens that were increasingly bumpy with so many footprints over nine hours, and wind that made Riviera tougher than ever.
Gene Littler, whose fluid swing carried him to 29 victories on the PGA Tour and a U.S. Open title at Oakland Hills, has died.
