\"HittingSure, the one weekend in which I didn’t watch any golf we have the Cinderella story that is Zach Johnson winning again, Lorena Ochoa continuing to dominate the LPGA Tour, Padraig winning on his home turf, and Seve making his debut on the Champions Tour. I need TiVo!<\/p>\n

This week we have a recap of The AT&T Classic, an Irishman winning the Irish Open, and and some numbers to make your head spin.
\n
\nHole 1: Zach’s March through Georgia<\/strong>
\nZach Johnson wins on the first playoff hole at the AT&T Classic at TPC Sugarloaf on Sunday for his second win this year. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: Ochoa Wins<\/strong>
\nLorena Ochoa defended her title at the Sybase Classic over the weekend, her first as the top-ranked player in the world. Will this momentum carry over to her finally winning a major? [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Luck of the Irish<\/strong>
\nPadraig Harrington is the first Irishman to win his country’s championship in 25 years. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: Busy Jack<\/strong>
\nJack Nicklaus is still a busy man in retirement, but he’s still full of opinions and always has enough time to share them. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: Georgia Goodbye<\/strong>
\nWas showing the Paris Hilton tape meant to inspire his team? What a dope. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: Summer Showdown<\/strong>
\nJeff Rude thinks with Phil back to his winning ways this summer could be one of the best of the last few decades. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: Weather Factor<\/strong>
\nThe weather could be the biggest factor next month at Oakmont. I’m expecting at least a foot of rough. You might need GPS and search dogs to find errant tee shots. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: Seve Speaks<\/strong>
\nSeve’s offers up some nuggets on his golf game, the Champions Tour, and Sergio. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: Crazy Odds<\/strong>
\nJacqueline Gagne has had 10 holes-in-one in the last four months<\/em>! The odds of that? Closer to “none” than “slim.” [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
