SHANGHAI – Jordan Spieth’s description of his trophy collection from an amazing season brings to mind a scene in “Caddyshack” when Lacy Underall is at Ty Webb’s house and keeps finding uncashed checks littered about the living room.

There’s a U.S. Open trophy in one corner of his bedroom. A green jacket in the closet. A crystal trophy from the Tour Championship over here. The FedEx Cup trophy over there. Trophies from the Valspar Championship and John Deere Classic. A bronze of Jack Nicklaus for PGA Tour player of the year.

It’s all there for hardly anyone to see.

“I’ve never wanted to just display stuff,” Spieth said Wednesday. “That’s what we try to win, and when we win we get satisfaction. It’s very satisfying, and then we go on to the next goal. We go on to the next trophy. … I feel uncomfortable if it’s all out in the open.”

“When you achieve those goals and you have those trophies in your possession, that’s what is important to me,” he said. “People already know that I won. So what good does it do for me to have my friends over and just flaunt it in their face? Just keep it in my room and go for the next one.”

The next chance starts Thursday at the HSBC Champions, a World Golf Championship that technically starts a new PGA Tour season for the 22-year-old Texan, even though it still feels like he is winding down a year that brought him stardom and fame that he never imagined.

Last week, Dallas-based AT&T honored their prized client by building a mosaic of Spieth using more than 24,000 golf balls on a tee. When he arrived at Pudong International Airport in Shanghai, he saw posters in the baggage claim promoting him along with Rory McIlroy and defending HSBC champion Bubba Watson.

Watson was portrayed as the magician. McIlroy was the fire. Spieth was the ice man.

“It’s really cool to see golf have recognition and fans around the world,” Spieth said. “It’s a dream come true for me, it really is. To have young juniors walking in our group today in 12 holes in the pouring rain, it’s just something that I probably didn’t even see in my wildest dreams. So to have it take shape is spectacular, but with it comes responsibility. And we have to continue to have years like we did this last year to keep it that way. If you don’t play well, you’re not going to see yourself in the airport in Shanghai.”

Spieth said he didn’t touch his golf clubs for two weeks after the Presidents Cup, which he said was the longest he had gone without his hand on a club since he was 12. The break was nice coming off a year that featured five wins, two majors and a record $22 million in earnings and the FedEx Cup bonus.

And now it’s back to work.

Half of the American team at the Presidents Cup that was in South Korea three weeks ago chose not to play the HSBC Champions for various reasons, though the field is loaded at the top – Spieth, Watson, Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler, along with McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott.

McIlroy has a comfortable lead in the Race to Dubai on the European Tour, and his biggest challenge so far this week was just getting to the golf course. A nasty bout with food poisoning caused him to miss the opening ceremony in The Bund district Tuesday, and he only hit a couple of shots on the range Wednesday before feeling more pain in his stomach and heading back to his hotel.

With rain during the pro-am and in the forecast for much of the week, Sheshan International is lush and long and would seem to favor the big hitters. Watson won last year by holing a bunker shot for eagle on the 72nd hole, and then making a birdie to win in a playoff.

Johnson also feels like a defending champion. He went eagle-birdie late in his round two years ago to beat Graeme McDowell and Ian Poulter, and then missed last year during his six-month leave from golf.

Johnson has been crisscrossing the Pacific Ocean the last month – South Korea to Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Los Angeles and now Shanghai. Forgive him for being out of touch, but he only realized Wednesday that players in their 20s have won the last seven PGA Tour events, and no one older than 23 has won the three events of the new season.

He is 31.

“I still feel like I’m 21,” Johnson said. “I don’t consider myself being much older than those guys.”

Spieth still feels 22, even if he has reason to feel a year ago felt much longer. At the HSBC Champions last year, he still had only one PGA Tour win and no inkling how much his life was about to change with his pursuit of the Grand Slam and reaching No. 1 in the world.

And in his mind, the year isn’t over.

“This would be icing on the cake if we were able to compete and capture a win here,” he said. “Obviously, that’s our expectation.”

PICKERING, Ont. – The PGA of Ontario is relocating its offices to Angus Glen Golf Club.

“It’s a very exciting move for our association to partner with a world-class organization like Angus Glen Golf Club,” says Kevin Purcell, Executive Director of the PGA of Ontario. “We will have a smaller footprint for our offices than we currently have, but we’ll gain access to all of the excellent facilities at Angus Glen if we want to be able to host meetings or educational seminars on and off the course for our membership.”

Purcell explained that after 13 years, the current lease on the association’s offices in a commercial plaza in Pickering expires at the end of November. Earlier in 2015, he was chatting with Cailey Stollery, President of Angus Glen Golf, about other matters and mentioned that there might be the possibility of a move. Stollery told Purcell she had the perfect spot for the association. A deal was worked out to bring the headquarters to Angus Glen at a significant cost savings to the PGA of Ontario.

Prior to locating in Pickering, the PGA of Ontario had its offices located across from Angus Glen in an old schoolhouse on property owned by the club’s parent company.

“We are thrilled that the PGA of Ontario has chosen Angus Glen as their new home. Angus Glen has been a CPGA facility since opening in 1995 and because of this we have had the opportunity to work with dozens of PGA pros,” says Stollery, who is also a member of the board of the Golf Canada Foundation and the Canadian Olympic Association. “We are strong supporters of the PGA of Ontario and look forward to working more closely with them in the future,”

Opened in 1995, Angus Glen Golf Club is a 36-hole course that has twice hosted the RBC Canadian Open, a Canadian Pacific Women’s Open and thousands of charity events over the past 20 years. The North Course was renovated in 2006 and the renovated South Course re-opened earlier this year in time to host the first-ever Pan-Am Games golf championship as a lead up to the 2016 Olympics where golf will be played in Rio de Janeiro for the first time since 1904.

“This move will give our association many opportunities to increase our exposure within the public golf community and build brand awareness as we continue to grow the game of golf and develop industry leaders,” added Purcell. “I know the staff is very excited about the move to a golf course and all the facilities we will be able to capitalize on.”

The PGA of Ontario currently has four full-time staff members including Purcell. They will be moving on up to 10080 Kennedy Road in Markham the week of November 16^th to set up shop at Angus Glen GC.

PHOENIX – John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO, has been honored with the distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award at the HSBC Golf Business Forum in Shanghai, China.

Solheim was recognized for his contribution to golf and for his achievements, leadership and innovation within the business side of the game. He got his start in the business when he was only 13, working alongside his father, Karsten, on early putter designs in the family’s garage. He aspired to be an architect, but as PING’s business expanded, he turned his passion to designing golf clubs and helping Karsten grow the privately-held entity into one of the most influential golf companies in the world. As chairman and CEO, he leads the company’s strategic direction and oversees the design and development of PING products.

“This prestigious award has been given to the game’s biggest names over the years, so I’m very honored to have the Solheim name next to many of golf’s legends,” Solheim said. “I accept this on behalf of my family and the entire company because achievement is always the result of teamwork. We have a lot of great team leaders at PING who make my job easier, and together we give PING the reputation it enjoys in the golf world.”

In particular, HSBC saluted the Solheims (PING founder Karsten Solheim and his wife, Louise) for creating the Solheim Cup in 1990, and for John Solheim’s role in elevating it to global success and creating the PING Junior Solheim Cup in 2002.

“My parents provided me so many wonderful examples of leadership through the years, and creating the Solheim Cup has left a tremendous legacy,” Solheim said. “They were committed to growing women’s golf and inspiring girls to take up the game. Along with my family and everyone at PING, we continue to hold that event near and dear to our hearts because it’s the right thing to do and we truly enjoy being ambassadors for the game we love.”

SHANGHAI – The European Tour is contemplating what amounts to a level playing field for those who want to be considered global players.

Typically, being a member of the two largest tours in golf requires a top 50 world ranking. That effectively assures the player of getting into the four majors and four World Golf Championships, which would be more than half of the minimum starts required on the PGA Tour (15) and European Tour (13).

That’s a significant issue facing new European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley.

Pelley has spent the majority of his three months on the job talking to players of every level to figure out what works for them globally and what strengthens the European Tour. One solution under consideration is to lower the minimum requirement to five – provided that doesn’t include the majors and the WGCs.

That would make the requirement the same for someone like Justin Rose (No. 6 in the world) and Luke Donald. A former world No. 1, Donald fell out of the top 50 in May. He played all four majors, but only because he qualified for the U.S. Open and British Open. But he was not eligible for three of the WGCs.

“We’re evaluating and looking at that,” Pelley said. “Have we made a definitive decision? No. Will I give a bit more context in Dubai? The answer is yes. And that’s where we are. I’ve talked to a lot of players. Everybody has a different feeling. Some want to play on both tours that are not on an elite level. And if they’re not qualifying for the WGCs, they’re playing 33 to 34 events to play on two tours.”

The main incentive for keeping European Tour membership is being eligible for the Ryder Cup.

Ian Poulter thought he was about to lose his membership when he fell out of the top 50 and was no longer eligible for the HSBC Champions. He flew to Hong Kong and was helped immensely by Rich Beem giving up his spot in the Hong Kong Open. As it turned out, Poulter got into the HSBC Champions as an alternate.

“What I am finding, which is consistent with all of them whether that’s Ian Poulter, Luke Donald or Graeme McDowell, is they all want to be part of the process as we look to make some changes in the tour,” Pelley said. “They all want to embrace it. They have an unwavering desire for the tour to flourish.”

On his end, Pelley said it would be important to increase prize money to make it worthwhile for Europeans to play a little more often. But he sees no harm in making it easier for Europeans to follow the money to America and the PGA Tour.

“They’re no longer European Tour players or PGA Tour players,” Pelley said. “They’re global players.”

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Duffy Waldorf won the Toshiba Classic on Sunday for his first Champions Tour title, birdieing the final hole for a 5-under 66 and a two-stroke victory.

A day after matching the Newport Beach Country Club record with an 11-under 60, the 53-year-old former UCLA player had 10 birdies, five bogeys and only three pars in the final round.

Waldorf finished with a tournament-record 20-under 193 total. He earned $270,000 to easily qualify for the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship after beginning the week on the bubble at 30th on the money list. The top 30 advanced to play next week at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The four-time PGA Tour winner was making his 73rd start on the 50-and-over tour.

Joe Durant was second after a 62.

Kevin Sutherland was third at 17 under after a 65. Paul Goydos (66) followed at 15 under, and 2010 and 2014 winner Fred Couples (69) was another stroke back along with Kenny Perry (68).

A pair of Canadians cracked the top 10. Stephen Ames (67) and Rod Spittle (68) finished at 12 under.

ANTALYA, Turkey – Victor Dubuisson of France made three late birdies to overtake Jaco Van Zyl and clinch his second Turkish Airlines Open title on Saturday, denying the South African a wire-to-wire victory.

Van Zyl had led from the opening round and was two shots ahead of Dubuisson after birdies on the 13th and 14th. But the Frenchman responded with three birdies on the last four holes for a 6-under 66 while Van Zyl finished with four pars for a 67. That gave Dubuisson a one-shot victory with a 22-under 266 total and a second career European Tour title.

Rory McIlroy was a shot behind the joint overnight leaders going into the round but only managed a 71 to drop to a tie for sixth at the first of four Final Series tournaments that award increased points totals toward the Race to Dubai.

Dubuisson broke down in tears when his final birdie putt sank on the 18th, having managed just two top-10 finishes this year going into the tournament. But he clearly enjoys playing in Turkey, where he also won his first career title in 2013.

“Sometimes you feel like your game is never going to come back and this week I realized that my whole game was here,” the Frenchman said. “I was really counting on this Final Series to give me some confidence back because I completely lost it a few months ago. I was just missing everything.”

Kiradesh Aphibarnrat of Thailand finished third, another shot behind Van Zyl. Kiradesh almost chipped in for an eagle on the 18th that would have forced a playoff but then missed his birdie putt as well to finish with a 67.

McIlroy increased his lead in the Race to Dubai standings to almost 400,000 points ahead of Danny Willett as he seeks his third title in four years.

“It’s always disappointing whenever you have a chance to win and you don’t play well enough to do that,” McIlroy said about his final round. “I’ll be going away from this tournament very disappointed with how I played today. But I’m still playing two more events this year and I feel like my game is good enough to give myself two opportunities to win again.”

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Justin Thomas overcame a double bogey on the 14th and some nervous moments on the final hole Sunday to win the CIMB Classic for his first PGA Tour title.

The 22-year-old American holed a 6-foot par putt on the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory over Australian star Adam Scott. Thomas shot a 6-under 66 for a tournament-record 26-under 262 total at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.

Thomas, who had a course-record 61 in the second round, seemed to have blown his chances when he hit into the water at 14, but immediately rallied with three consecutive birdies to take the outright lead.

Scott, playing two groups ahead, had an eagle and seven birdies in his closing 63.

Thomas led by a stroke coming to the par-5 final hole, which he had birdied on Saturday, but the required par did not come easily. He drove right of the fairway and his approach found the bunker short of the green. He blasted out to 20 feet, raced his first putt past the hole and holed the comebacker for the breakthrough victory.

“I still can’t believe what happened,” Thomas said. “I made that par to clinch the title. “I don’t care how I got it done, it just feels awesome,”

Thomas, a close friend of second-ranked Jordan Spieth, continued the early season trend of players in their early 20s claiming their first PGA Tour victories, after Emiliano Grillo at Silverado and Smylie Kaufman in Las Vegas.

The former Alabama star from Kentucky said he had been struggling with downhill lies, and that’s what caused the double bogey at 14.

“I had a big body of water in front of the green, but I told myself I’ve been controlling the tournament so I should not worry too much,” Thomas said. “I knew I had four more holes to try to make some more birdies and was fortunate enough get birdies in three of the last four holes.”

Scott had a shot at eagle on the last, but the putt was well off target, and that cost him a chance of forcing a playoff.

“Look, 35-footers breaking 4 feet are not gimmes. I threw everything I could at it today. I’m playing well, and that’s nice, because I haven’t played that well for a while,” Scott said.

He was aiming to take his form in Malaysia into next week’s World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions in China.

“It’s motivating for sure. I want to get up there and play and show them that the old dog’s still got something,” Scott said.

American Kevin Na and Brendan Steele tied for third at 24-under. Na had a 67, and Steele shot 68.

Na lipped out short putts at 16 and 17. He lost a playoff at Silverado and tied for second in Las Vegas in the previous two events. He also tied for second last year in Malaysia, and has eight seconds and seven thirds on the tour against just one win.

Two-time defending champion Ryan Moore had a 69 to tie for 10th at 17 under.

David Hearn finished as the top Canadian. He tied for 29th at 11 under.

HAINAN ISLAND, China – Sei Young Kim made a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory Sunday in the Blue Bay LPGA.

The 22-year-old South Korean player won for the third time in her rookie season on the LPGA Tour, closing with a 2-under 70 at difficult Jian Lake Blue Bay for a 2-under 286 total.

“I was like really nervous on the last putt,” Kim said. “I can hear my heart pound.”

After high wind sent scores soaring the first three days, the players faced only a moderate breeze on a rainy afternoon along the South China Sea.

Third-ranked Stacy Lewis, fellow American Kim Kaufman and Taiwan’s Candie Kung finished a stroke back. Kim holed her winning putt after playing partners Lewis and Kung missed birdie tries – Lewis from 20 feet and Kung from 10.

Lewis finished with a 70 for her sixth runner-up finish of the season and the 21st of her career. She won the last of her 11 LPGA Tour titles in June 2014.

“She is one of my favorite players, so I’m very honored to play with her,” Kim said about Lewis. “But I win, she still is my idol.”

Kung shot a 71. Kaufman, playing a group ahead, had a 69 for the best round of the day.

“It was so hard out there,” Kung said. “You can’t worry about what other people are doing. We’re just trying to hold the umbrella. ‘Is it going to rain? Is it not going to rain?’ … It was busy out there.”

Kim won playoffs this year in the Bahamas and Hawaii in events also played in strong wind on seaside layouts.

“This year my target was just three wins, so I feel very fulfilled,” Kim said. “I also come through rookie of the year, so I would be very honored to win that.”

The five-time Korea LPGA winner earned $300,000 to move up a spot to fourth on the money list with $1,727,436 and is projected to jump from 11th to eighth in the world.

“The first goal is Olympic gold medal. Then my next goal is No. 1,” Kim said.

Kim dropped into a four-way tie for the lead on the par-3 17th when she three-putted from about 120 feet on the massive beachside green. Kung hit to 2 1/2 feet and Lewis to 4 1/2 feet, but missed their putts to the right.

“I tried to cut a shot because the pin, there’s no room behind, and I made a mistake,” Kim said. “I was very upset after that hole. … After they missed, I got a new opportunity.”

Kim’s best shot was on the par-4 10th when she holed a 40-foot flop from the rough to save par after hitting her approach long and left into the water.

“That chip happened to me, so I trust more that I can win,” Kim said.

She pulled even with Lewis with a birdie on the par-4 13th. Kim’s 3-wood drive took a big forward bounce off a cart path, leaving her a sand wedge approach that she hit to 6 feet. Lewis three-putted for bogey, missing a 5 1/2-footer.

Kim moved ahead on the par-5 14th when she made a 10-foot birdie putt and Lewis missed an 8-footer.

Kaufman had her best finish in her first two seasons on the tour. The 24-year-old former Texas Tech player from tiny Clark, South Dakota, birdied Nos. 9, 11, 14 and 15, then missed mid-range birdie tries on the final three holes.

Top-ranked Lydia Ko shot her second straight 70 to tie for eighth at 4 over. She had the best weekend total in the field after opening with rounds of 77 and 75.

“I’m happy that everything’s over and I can relax and go back home,” Ko said..

Ko won the LPGA Taiwan by nine strokes last week to regain the No. 1 spot from Inbee Park. The 18-year-old New Zealander has a tour-high five victories.

Canada’s Alena Sharp recorded her best LPGA Tour finish in 10 years, a tie for 5th at 3-over.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Duffy Waldorf missed a chance to shoot the second 59 in Champions Tour history Saturday, parring the final two holes for an 11-under 60 in the Toshiba Classic.

Waldorf missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th, coming up short and right.

“It was a trickier putt than I wanted,” Waldorf said. “I didn’t hit the putt hard enough. I had been reaching the hole all day, so I didn’t think that would be a problem.”

He drove behind a tree into the left rough on the closing hole, statistically the easiest hole at Newport Beach Country Club, and hooked a hybrid approach through the green and into the back bunker.

“I tugged it a little,” Waldorf said about his drive. “Yeah, it was nerves, but I felt like if I just hit one solid, I would be in pretty good shape. It didn’t really work out that well. I mean, I thought I might just get a look at the hole.”

Kevin Sutherland is the only player to shoot 59 on the 50-and-over tour. He had a 13-under 59 last year in the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.

“I wasn’t keeping track until I saw the board on 17,” Waldorf said. “Coming into 18, I knew what I had in front of me.”

Waldorf tied the course record set by Tom Purtzer in 2004 and matched by Nick Price in 2011, both en route to victories. Waldorf had a 15-under 127 total to break Price’s 36-hole record by a stroke.

The 53-year-old former UCLA player had a three-stroke lead over defending champion Fred Couples in the final full-field event of the year. Couples, also the 2010 winner, had a 65.

“I felt like somebody was going to shoot a low round,” Couples said. “What he shot today was exceptional. Duffy went flying by everyone.”

Waldorf birdied the first three holes and added three more on the front nine, including a 20-footer on the ninth. He made two more birdies and had another three-hole birdie streak that he capped with a 50-footer on 16. Waldorf finished with 11 birdies, hitting wedges into seven of the greens.

“If I get 10 drives in the fairway, I like my chances hitting short irons into greens,” Waldorf said. “I definitely want to be in the fairway here.”

Sutherland (66) was four strokes back along with Woody Austin (63), Kenny Perry (65) and first-round leaders Steve Pate (68) and Scott McCarron (68).

Three Canadians are in the field this week. Rod Spittle has a share of 10th at 9 under, Steven Ames is 8 under and tied for 16th, while Jim Rutledge has a share of 70th at 1 over.

The top 30 on the money after the tournament will qualify for the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship next week at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona.

ANTALYA, Turkey – Rory McIlroy shot a third straight 5-under 67 Saturday to move to within one stroke of the leaders after the third round of the Turkish Airlines Open.

Jaco van Zyl of South Africa maintained a share of the lead after a 70 to sit tied with Victor Dubuisson (67) on 16-under 200.

McIlroy dropped his first shots of the tournament with bogeys on Nos. 3 and 10 but also had five birdies and an eagle on the 13th.

“I feel if I play the same way and execute a little bit better, there’s definitely a lower score out there for me,” the four-time Major winner said.

Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat (66) shared third place with McIlroy.
