Hello and welcome again to another volume of Hittin’ the Links. I don’t know about everyone else out there, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Colonial this weekend. I found it even more interesting down the stretch when it seemed like everyone with a shot at winning began giving it away. Congratulations have to go out to Steve Stricker, though if he could have made a three-foot putt he would have won it in regulation!
Anyway, in this newest edition of HTL we begin by doing an update on Amy Mickelson, see what Sergio is blaming his recent poor play on, and find out what we have to look forward to on Wednesday. Also on tap, we look at the NCAA Mens National Championship, see who recently qualified for the British Open, and do a complete wrap-up on this week’s tour winners. Read on!
