\"Hittin'Welcome golf fans to yet another edition of Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. After a week off, the PGA Tour continued play this weekend amid college and pro football. I have to admit I did not watch all that much golf this weekend, but I did catch Justin Rose’s final six holes on Sunday. He righted the ship just in time to keep from giving up yet another 54-hole lead. Good for him though, and congratulation to all those players that made their respective Presidents Cup teams as well.<\/p>\n

In this edition of HtL<\/em> we begin with an LPGA music video, then take note of Tiger’s continued fall from grace, and look at some of golf’s most desperate moves. Also on tap, we check out the best ten players in the world, look at one good sixteen year-old, and do a wrap-up of the week’s events. Read on!
