Natalie Gulbis can now hold a trophy in her next swimsuit calender.
Jim Furyk started Sunday three strokes behind Vijay Singh but quickly erased the deficit. He birdied two of the first three holes, then aced the par-three fourth on his way to shooting a final-round 64 for a repeat victory at the Canadian Open.
This week we have a recap of the Canadian Open, manipulating the rules of golf to your benefit, and a golfer’s odyssey through New Zealand.
How do you say meltdown in Spanish?
Padraig Harrington came from six shots back going into the final round to have not just one but two shots at winning The Open Championship and finally put away the collapsing Sergio Garcia in the four-hole playoff.
As for Sergio “Bad Breaks” Garcia it makes no difference if his putter is standard length or belly, blade or mallet, right-hand low, left-hand low, whether he dresses like a banana or Ronald McDonald, at the end of the day the biggest determent to the young man’s game resides squarely in the space between his ears.
Finally, congratulations to Joe Ogilvie who beat some other guys and ran away with a four-shot victory in Milwaukee at the U.S. Bank Championship.
This week we have a recap of The Open Championship, the future of golf, and Commissioner Bivens going shopping.
For some strange reason, I really want a couple of those John Deere Classic tractor tee markers.
Jonathan Byrd fired a final-round 66 while Tim Clark threw away a three-shot lead on Sunday. Byrd’s win makes him the winningest American under 30 and earned him a trip to Carnoustie for The Open Championship.
Earlier in the day, Phil Mickelson was up to his old tricks again by blocking his driver left on the 72nd hole as well as the first playoff hole at the Scottish Open in what cannot be a good tune-up leading up to this week’s festivities.
This week we have a recap of the John Deere Classic, Woody Austin staying home, and Carnoustie might end up being a pushover (I’m not buying it).
I need earplugs when K.J. Choi tees off with his driver. Even from the confines of my living room.
K.J. Choi wins for the second time in just over a month as he captures the inaugural AT&T National by playing some steady golf on Sunday afternoon, which was the complete opposite of the gag job third-round leader Stuart Appleby (and a host of others) threw up.
This week we have a recap of the AT&T National, the return of Tiger’s intimidation (maybe), and the love/hate relationship Tour players have with their putters.
My remote got a workout flipping back and forth between all the golf on Sunday.
Brian Bateman better clear off his schedule for the next two years as he suddenly has places to be after securing his two-year exemption and a trip to Augusta after gaining his first Tour victory at the Buick Open.
And if that didn’t provide enough drama for you, Cristie Kerr won her first major at the U.S. Women’s Open by playing some fantastic golf over the weekend as she outlasted Lorena Ochoa and Morgan Pressel.
This week we have a recap of the Buick Open, the U.S. Women’s Open, and the end of the line for the marriage of real estate and golf.
Better golf equipment technology becomes the scapegoat yet again.
Hunter Mahan and Jay Williamson provided some great entertainment as well as some bonus coverage on Sunday as they battled down the stretch at the Travelers Championship.
This week we have a recap of the Travelers Championship, the Wegmans LPGA, and a reversal by Mr. Finchem of the sudden need for drug testing on the PGA Tour.
At the end of the day, Oakmont took the best golfers in the world out behind the woodshed for a beatdown.
The USGA protected their precious score of par and the Oakmont County Club members must have had evil grins on their faces as their course took the best golfers in the world and smacked them silly.
Only one golfer broke was able to break par twice over four days (Angel Cabrera), Saturday’s leader Aaron Baddeley throws up a final round 80, and Tiger Woods still has not won a major when trailing.
This week we have a recap of the U.S. Open plus a Father’s Day story that golfers can really appreciate.
Adam Scott should start calling in sick on Sunday.
Woody Austin (funky shirt and all) throws up a 62 in the final round while Adam Scott implodes yet again while holding the Saturday lead. And I wonder if there isn’t a little part of Suzann Pettersen thinking about what might have been if only she had held onto her lead at the Kraft Nabisco.
This week we have a recap of the Stanford St. Jude Classic, a couple of great children’s charities, and memories of Arnold Palmer’s last U.S. Open round.
The last time I played a 288-yard hole, I got a seven.
Rain delays stink for television viewing and poor Rory didn’t have Tiger around to spout off about. Oh well, he gets a nice plaid jacket to add to his wardrobe for his troubles.
This week we have a recap of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, a top-ten list you do not want to be on, and a par three on which you need to hit driver.
