Playoffs weren’t just happening in baseball this week as both the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour needed some extra time to give us winners in the Valero Texas Open and Longs Drug Challenge.
This week, we have several links from the Valero Texas Open, Annika turns down an invite, and Payne Stewart’s son is making a name for himself.

Very cool to see Payne’s son doing well 😀 . I wonder if Annika is on her way out. Lorena has really stepped in to be the top womens player.
