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.
