\"HittingJonathan Byrd fired a final-round 66 while Tim Clark threw away a three-shot lead on Sunday. Byrd’s win makes him the winningest American under 30 and earned him a trip to Carnoustie for The Open Championship.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Phil Mickelson was up to his old tricks again by blocking his driver left on the 72nd hole as well as the first playoff hole at the Scottish Open in what cannot be a good tune-up leading up to this week’s festivities.<\/p>\n

This week we have a recap of the John Deere Classic, Woody Austin staying home, and Carnoustie might end up being a pushover (I’m not buying it).
