• Horschel (68) builds on momentum at Valero

  19-04-2018 22:53
  
  Billy Horschel only ever needs to see a faint glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
  While some players require a slow ascent from missed cuts to contending on the weekend, Horschel's switches between the two can often be drastic. Last year he missed three straight cuts before defeating Jason Day in a playoff to win the AT&T Byron Nelson, a turnaround that Horschel said "still shocks me to this day."
  The veteran is at it again, having missed five of six cuts prior to last week's RBC Heri

• One year later: Surgery to success for Tiger

  Exactly 365 days ago, Tiger Woods went under the knife. When it comes to Woods, surgery has become a somewhat regular occurrence over the years; his timeline of injuries and procedures stretches nearly as long as the one detailing his on-course accomplishments.
