14 players get an early Christmas present: A trip to the Masters

By Stephanie Wei under The Masters

God.

There are many ways to qualify — excuse me, receive an invitation to the hallowed grounds of Augusta National to play in the Masters Tournament every April. Well, actually, there are 19 different ways, one of which is to finish in the top 50 in the Final Official World Golf Ranking for the previous calendar year.

Well, finally, there are no more golf tournaments with world ranking points this year — that list was published on Monday, and 14 players were added to the 2014 Masters field.

Injury-plagued Casey breaks drought with Irish Open win

By Stephanie Wei under European PGA Tour

Hooray!

Paul Casey not only won for the first time in over two years, but he did it in style, holing a fifty-footer for eagle on the 72nd hole to capture the Irish Open by three shots over Robert Rock and Joost Luiten.

Casey, who started the final round four shots out of the lead, fire a final-round five-under 67 that included a stretch of five birdies in six holes between no. 8 and no. 13. He wavered for a moment coming down the stretch, giving two back on nos. 15 and 16.

13-year-old makes history at China Open

By Conor Nagle under European PGA Tour

Mature beyond his years, in fashion terms.

Chinese amateur Guan Tian-lang golfed his way into the record books at the Volvo China Open this morning, shooting 77 en route to becoming the youngest player ever to compete in a European Tour event.

At the tender age of 13 years and 173 days, the teenager assumed the record from compatriot Lo Shik-kai, three months older in making his debut at the 2003 Honk Kong Open.
