Last year, Congressional’s members voted to host the tournament every two years in 2016, 2018 and 2020 after hosting it annually from 2007 to 2009 and from 2012 to 2014.

Ishikawa was not the only player to register an ace on the day, as Rickie Fowler, who carded a four-under par 67, closed out his round in grand style when he registered an incredible hole-in-one at the 176-yard ninth. At 15th in the FedEx Cup standings, he can expect to play all four playoff events.
The rather unlikely bulls-eye to end a round came at an opportune time for the eighth-ranked player in the world, who has two PGA Tour wins so far this year.
Tiger was coming off a missed cut two weeks ago at the Open Championship at St. Andrews.
The reality of Woods’ game this week, it appears, is somewhere in the middle. I havent scored very well. It’s the old, “He’s done!” and “He’s back!” debates which have proliferated through social media in recent years, so many observers wishing to offer ardent claims without that process fully developed.
He didnt play a practice round on Tuesday, instead working on 60-yard wedge shots with short-game coach David Orr.
Woods mostly found the fairways with his driver and routinely flew the ball 30 yards past Atwal. Some of my swings just werent quite right..
There can be no doubt that a competitive Woods makes any golf tournament a much more enjoyable event. He has shot five rounds in the 60s and three rounds in the 80s. His current game is of the unassuming, ordinary variety.
“As I said, I have been through this before”. “I felt like I hit the ball well enough to turn it around”.
The Golf Channel is reporting that swing consultant Chris Como did not accompany Woods to this week’s PGA Tour stop in Gainesville, Va., at the Quicken Loans National.
RTJ has hosted four Presidents Cups, most recently in 2005. “Some of the top players, there’s going to be a schedule concern”.
“That kind of got me kick-started a little bit”. Ishikawa, who started on the back nine, ran off six birdies in a row starting on the 14th hole.

World No. 14 Jimmy Walker comes in relatively fresh, having played just three times since May. Just three others from the worlds top 50 are playing, leaving the Quicken Loans National with the second-weakest field among stand-alone PGA Tour events this season. “The last time I did it is probably Augusta“. The greens are sort of in sections, sort of bowls, and if you hit good iron shots, you’re going to have a lot of birdie putts.
