Hello again golf fans and thanks for joining me for another hittin’ the links. After all the excitement caused by McIlroy vs. Westwood, the final of the Accenture Match Play seemed somewhat anti-climactic. Congratulations has to go out to Hunter Mahan though, maybe now everyone will begin to forget that chip in the Ryder Cup two years ago.

Hello golf nuts, thank you for joining me for another Hittin’ the Links. While I was definitely rooting for Phil to pull off his second win in a row on Sunday, I have to give it up to Bill Haas and that clutch putt in the play-off.
