The season is coming to a close with only three full-field events remaining before the PGA Tour world goes into hibernation, but that doesn’t stop Hittin’ the Links<\/em> from pressing on!<\/p>\n

Enjoy the weekly links!
\n
\nHole 1: Winning Again<\/strong>
\nIt might have taken Davis Love III a lifetime (76 starts to be exact) to get his 19th PGA Tour title, but boy was it worth it! [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: Going Home<\/strong>
\nWho says you can’t go home and win in front of the home crowd? Lorena Ochoa proved that statement to be false on Sunday with a final-round 64 to take the LPGA’s Corona Morelia Championship. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Streak or No Streak?<\/strong>
\nThe great debate is on as to whether Tiger Woods streak is still legit. Sure he won the last WGC event to keep the streak alive, but does his HSBC Match Play loss go down as a streak breaker? I’ll let you be the judge. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: Diaper Rash<\/strong>
\nWhen was the last time you heard a collegiate golf coach say that his prediction for his team this year was, “diaper rash”? Add Florida head coach Buddy Alexander to that long<\/em> list. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: As the Caddie World Turns<\/strong>
\nWho said the PGA Tour lifestyle didn’t have its stories or lying and deception? OK, so Ernie Els and longtime caddie Ricci Roberts isn’t that cool, but the two did split last week. Unlike most caddie\/player splits, Els said this one could be temporary. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: Winning Ways<\/strong>
\nHave a look inside the bag of every player that has won on tour this year. I was really shocked to see almost every player carries a hybrid now. Just kidding, that was the thing I was least surprised to see. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: Pay Paddy!<\/strong>
\nPaddy Harrington might have had a rough time recently at the Ryder Cup (0-4-1), but that didn’t hinder him from winning the Dunhill Links Championship in St. Andrew, Scotland with a final round 68. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: Masters Field<\/strong>
\nIt’s October and I’m already checking the current Masters Field. Am I just sick, or are you ready for the first major of the year to get here? [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: Mick Is Done<\/strong>
\nI was still holding out hope that Phil Mickelson would play in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf – I guess I was wrong to hold on to that glimmer of hope. Mike Weir will be Mickelson’s replacement if you didn’t know already. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
