\"HittinIt’s been a week of ups and downs in the world of golf as we witness the passing of a titan in the great Severiano Ballesteros. Yes, he was a five time major winner, but to the golf world, he was so much more.<\/p>\n

On the lighter side, though Danny might be out for the week, another week on Tour passes and for the third straight Sunday we’re treated to an exciting playoff. From there, we touch upon yet ANOTHER rules controversy, Lucas Glover’s win at Quail Hollow, The Champions Tour’s first major, Tiger drops further down the OWGR, and more. So let’s get to it!
