PGA Tour - AT&T Byron Nelson
Australian Jason Day secures first TOUR title since 2018 at AT&T Byron Nelson. Jason Day had just 3 feet left. That was all between him and his first win on the PGA TOUR since 2018. Standing on the 18th green, so many thoughts raced through his head. The first: “What if I miss?”
It’s hard to blame Day for that. It seemed every time things started to go well over the last five years, something came to knock him down a peg. Be it debilitating back pain, occasional bouts of vertigo or the health of his mother, if Day thought he had made a big stride toward reclaiming the game that put him at the top of the golf world, inevitably another roadblock popped up.
So, as he sat in the media centre Sunday night just a hundred yards or so from where he sank that short putt on the 18th to claim a one-shot victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson, he still hadn’t quite processed that his long journey back had finally culminated in a win. That there was no “but” attached, no boogie man waiting around the corner to pull the rug out from under him again.
“It feels strange to be sitting here. I don't know how else to explain it. To go through what I went through and then to be able to be a winner again.”
Jason Days' win now moves him back into the Top 20 in the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time since July 2019.

DP World Tour - Soudal Open
Simon Forsström claims fairy-tale win in Belgium after recovering from a back-nine wobble with a series of late birdies as he held off the charge of fellow Swede Jens Dantorp to claim his first DP World Tour title at the 2023 Soudal Open.
Forsström began the day with a slender one-shot lead before extending his advantage to three shots at the turn with birdies on the fourth and eighth. But things began to unravel on the back nine as the 34-year-old followed up a double bogey at the tenth with a bogey on the 12th to surrender the lead.
He bounced back brilliantly, though, holing birdie putts at the 14th, 16th, and 17th to take a one-shot lead down the last. And despite missing the fairway, he comfortably parred the 18th to sign for a closing 69, finish the tournament on 17 under par and clinch a one-shot victory.
The Swede secured his DP World Tour card with a two-stroke victory at the Final Stage of Qualifying School in November and has been impressive ever since, recording three top-ten finishes over the first five months of the campaign before ending his long wait for victory at Rinkven International Golf Club.
After his stunning win, Forsström said:
"I'm very happy and I don't have any words. I'm just glad I made it since I was in the lead. I think the course suits me very well, it's pretty tight and short. I won the Challenge Tour in Belgium, so I think Belgium is good! It's pretty similar to Sweden, the trees and the grass, so I think I feel very at home here. I hope I can keep proving myself and that this wasn’t one time."

Alps Tour Golf - 31st Goesser Open
Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney wins a weather-shortened 2023 Gösser Open with a two-round total of 12 under par. Gianmaria Rean Trinchero from Italy concluded the tournament in 2nd place with a two-day score of 8 under par. In 3rd place, a past winner of the Gösser Open Austria’s Timon Baltl with a total score of 7 under par. Tied for 4thplace just 1 stroke back France’s Oihan Guillamoundeguy and Italy’s Enrico Di Nitto.
The 144 players in the 2023 Gösser Open field had to compete for three days with constant rainfall and cold weather conditions. As the rain never stopped falling over Golf Club Erzherzog Johann in Maria Lankowitz, Austria the course was definitely softer. Still, the weather conditions didn’t make it easy for the players.
Due to the delays and the unfavourable weather forecast, yesterday, the Tournament Committee of the 31st edition of the Gösser Open decided to reduce the tournament to 36 holes with no cut.
Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney who is 27 years old, captured his 1st full-field professional win at the 2023 Gösser Open! He shot an 8 under-par 64 in this first round and a 4 under-par 68 in round 2 for a two-day total of 12 under par. He previously had played in some events in 2020 before the Covid-19 pandemic began but this is his 1st full year on the Alps Tour. Ronan turned professional in 2019 and competed in the 2022 Open Championship. After his victory, he was very pleased, “It was a difficult 36 holes, in these conditions. Trying to keep the umbrella up and down and keeping my bag as dry as possible, a lot of things happening on top of the golf that has to be played. Being from Ireland and having grown up in these conditions probably helped me. I can assure you that no one likes playing in these conditions, but I might have slightly more experience than the other guys.” Ronan went on to add: “I’m delighted to have won this event, but it won’t mean a lot to me unless I’m able to end the season in the top 5 at the end of the year.”
