By Tony Jimenez VIRGINIA WATER, England, May 25 (Reuters) - Britain's Justin Rose was relieved to feel the sun on his back again at the PGA Championship on Saturday and the world number four took advantage with a three-under-par 69. Most of the players contesting the European Tour's flagship event at Wentworth struggled to cope with wintry conditions on the first two days. The eight-degree temperatures and winds gusting up to 20-mph finally gave way to blue skies and warm sunshine in the third round and Rose blossomed as four birdies helped him glide gently through the field. ...

Obama served as Honorary Chairman in 2009 when the event was last played in the United States, at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, Calif. In the hunt at the Senior PGA, Tom Watson still has a swing to savor at age 63 Every year about this time of year, 63 year-old Tom Watson starts to appear on some leaderboards around golf. Now days, it’s usually on the Champions Tour, but sometimes he rattles some cages on the PGA Tour. It’s almost like he is prepping for the British Open, and he is raising his game a notch so he can go over to compete. The 2014 Ryder Cup Captain made the cut, and is only 5 shots back at the 2013 Senior PGA Championship in St. Louis. Tome fired 69 on Thursday in this unusual four-day event at the Bellerive Golf Club, and will be  at -2 under par when play starts up on Saturday. Mickelson, Stricker not among Memorial field Phil Mickelson and Steve Stricker have both decided to withdraw from The Memorial which gets underway next week. Phil withdrew from Memorial last year citing fatigue. You might remember he got irritated at the use of cell phone on the golf course, and looked like he was worn out. Lefty has confirmed he will play at The St. Jude the following week to get himself ready for the US Open. PGA Tour Regulars Miss Cut In England The weather played a huge role at The BMW PGA Championship this week, and a large group of PGA Tour regulars were the casualities. Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell head the list of some very prominent players who missed the cut at the Wentworth Country Club in Virginia Waters this week. Also missing the cut is the defending champion of the event, Luke Donald. The weekend outlook is for cool conditions, but the rain appears to be gone at this venue in Surrey England. Francesco Molinari has the overnight lead. Miguel Angel Jimenez has made the cut, and will play the weekend. Follow me on Twitter @Spin_47 and in The Golf Community at Google+

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Matt Kuchar got off to a tremendous start in his second round at the Colonial. There was the eagle putt that stopped just short on his first hole and the approach at No. 2 that actually went in before ricocheting out of the cup.
