A boy amongst the men Justin Thomas was named PGA Tour Player of the Year on Wednesday after a season that included five victories and the FedEx Cup title. The award was voted on by his fellow players on the PGA Tour, which does not release the vote totals. Thomas joined an elite group including Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth to have posted five wins in a season before the age of 25. No need to be coy Roy “It was Roy Keane,” McIlroy said. “He should be one of my heroes because I was, and still am, a huge Man Utd fan. But I remember I went and asked him for his autograph at the Portmarnock Links Hotel (in Dublin) when he was with the Ireland squad and he just said no. And it just sort of stuck with me ever since. So that's why if a kid asks me for an autograph, I always try to do it.” Well Done Rory! Lefty looking to get it right again Phil Mickelson begins his 27th PGA Tour season on Thursday, seeking his first individual win since 2013 in the season-opening Safeway Open. Mickelson, who had five top-10 finishes last season in 22 events, is playing in his 91st tour event since his win at the 2013 British Open. |
