Minjee Lee Australia's highest-ranked golfer again after PGA Championship win
Minjee Lee is Australia's highest-ranked golfer again on the back of her PGA Championship win, jumping to world No.6 as it became clear she's unlikely to play a tournament in Australia in 2025. Negotiations for the next staging of the women's Australian Open are ongoing after officials abandoned the dual-gender format that has been played for the past three years, with both tournaments returning to stand-alone events. World No.2 Rory McIlroy is locked in for a return to the men's event being played at Royal Melbourne in December, but the women's tournament is set to be played early in 2026, a return to a timeslot more favourable to attract the world's best players. The last stand-alone women's Australian Open was co-sanctioned with the LPGA Tour, played in Adelaide in February 2020, and attracted an elite field including world No.1 Nelly Korda, who won the event in 2019. Lee reached a career-high ranking of No.2 in 2022, and had been a constant in the world's top 10 until midway through 2024 as she endured a 19-month winless drought. The 29-year-old went into the PGA Championship ranked 24, having dropped out of the world's top 20 for the first time since 2015. But her return to the winner's circle in Texas delivered the rankings bump, lifting her over great friend Hannah Green, who fell out of the top 10 to No.11 and lost her place as Australia's highest-ranked player, male or female. Jason Day, who finished fourth at the $30m Travellers Championship, is the only Australian male in the world's top 30, ranked 28. In the wake of her win, Lee revealed how hard her coach, Richie Smith, had to work to get her to make the drastic switch to the long putter, a move that put her back on a path towards the No.1 ranking. 'I think he mentioned it to me like twice and I was like mucking around with it, so I would say it was a good change,' she said. 'I think just for me, it was taking the hands out of the putter. Just using my hands too much. So I was like manipulating the putter to the break. For me it was just using more of my shoulders to hit the point where I thought it was going to break and not making it break. 'I feel like I had a lot of doubt the past few years … I guess with my long game but more with my putting. 'I think the more I heard media and other people saying things about my putting, I think it got to me more and more over time. 'I guess I just had a lot of thoughts and just I was overthinking probably about just the conventional way of putting … and using the broomstick has really been helping me.' Lee now has more majors than Greg Norman, who only won two, but is yet to reach the No.1 ranking the Great White Shark held for a mammoth 331 weeks. Adam Scott and Day have also been world No.1, but there has never been an Australian female No.1, not even seven-time major champ Karrie Webb, with the women's rankings only introduced in 2006. But Lee declared she had greater ambitions than getting to world No.1. 'I really wanted to be in the Hall of Fame. That's why I started golf. That's why I wanted to be on the LPGA Tour, to, you know, win a bunch of tournaments and try to get into it,' she said. 'I think I would really like to get there. We'll see how we go after this week.'

Tommy Fleetwood ‘angry' after throwing away first career PGA Tour win on the last hole
Tommy Fleetwood was left furious with himself after throwing away a golden opportunity to finally end his long wait for a maiden victory on the PGA Tour. Fleetwood took a three-shot lead heading into the final round of the Travelers Championship on Sunday, and led by two shots going into the final three holes. But a bogey on 16 and again on 18 – where he missed a six foot putt for par and a play-off – opened the door for US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, who finished with a nerveless birdie to spark wild scenes among the partisan crowd in Connecticut. The result means Fleetwood, 34, retains his unwanted record of the most top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour since 1983 without claiming a title, with 42. 'I feel like from where I was, I should at least be in a play-off,' Fleetwood said. 'I didn't really feel like I hit that many bad shots execution-wise, just sort of a couple of bad decisions and didn't clean 'em up, which is pretty poor and things that I have to work on.' He added: 'I haven't been in this situation for a while. When it sort of calms down – I am upset now, I am angry – but when it calms down, I will look at the things that I did well and look at the things that I can learn from. 'I did plenty of things well enough this week to win, but I didn't do that and it hurts.' Henley chipped in from the edge of the green on the 18th to secure a tie for second with Fleetwood at 14 under. Harris English and Australian Jason Day finished at 13 under in a tie for fourth. World No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Masters champion Rory McIlroy both shot five-under-par final rounds to get to 12 under and finish in a share of sixth place. Newly crowned US Open champion JJ Spaun had the best round of the day, starting off at the 10th, as he carded a seven-under 63 to climb up into the top 15. Viktor Hovland had earlier withdrawn on the third hole of his final round because of a neck injury.

USA TODAY and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article. Pricing and availability subject to change. It figures to be a dramatic and emotional day at TPC River Highlands on Sunday as the final round of the 2025 Travelers Championship plays out. Most fans in the golf world will probably be invested in Tommy Fleetwood — the 34-year-old Englishman who has the most top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour without a single win (41). He enters the day at 16 under, three shots clear of the field and in prime position to finally capture that elusive first victory. But players like 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley, Russell Henley and Jason Day are lurking, hoping to put pressure on the leader with a hot start Sunday.

The American Ryder Cup captain, and 2023 Travelers winner, jars a 64 footer on the ninth to tie Tommy Fleetwood at 14 under making the turn. Jim Nantz says "What in the name of J.J.

He has reached 10 under and is only four behind Tommy Fleetwood. Tommy Lad is one ahead of Keegan Bradley and Russell Henley. Sickness at the Travelers? Another WD in the final round because of illness. This time, Matti Schmid. Are the players sick watching the leaders struggle to start? Too soon? Advertisement Also, in an interesting twist, Thomas Detry joined the twosome in front of him. He and Schmid were in the final tee time off No. 10 in a twosome, so when Schmid withdrew, Detry joined Davis Riley and Nick Dunlap. Tied at the top Tommy Fleetwood's three-shot lead is gone after four holes.

Eric Cole withdraws ahead of final round There will be one less player competing Sunday as there was Saturday, as Eric Cole withdrew due to illness. What will the weather be like at the Travelers Championship on Sunday? An early-morning wave of thunderstorms forced tournament officials to delay the start of the fourth round and re-group players into threes instead of twos.
