\"Hittin'Don’t look now, but many big names teed it up this week in the WGC event in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

We’re already a month into the 2015-16 PGA TOUR season, the Champions Tour concluded this month, the European Tour and the LPGA are moving toward their finales. It’s true, golf’s Silly Season matters now. <\/p>\n

Let’s hit the links.
\n
\nHole #1: Knox, Knox<\/strong>
\nRussell Knox got in as an alternate and scored a big win in Shanghai with a 2-stroke vicotry in the WGC-HSBC Champions. His first PGA TOUR win is also the first WGC title for a Scot. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #2: Langer Loses Playoff, Wins Cup<\/strong>
\nBilly Andrade beat Bernhard Langer on the first playoff hole to win the finale of the Charles Schwab Cup in Scottsdale. No worries for Bernhard, though, he took home the Cup and the cash that goes with it for the third time. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #3: It’s Sun-Ju in Shima-Shi<\/strong>
\nIt just took one playoff hole for Sun-Ju Ahn to win the Toto Japan Classic in Shima-Shi, Mie, Japan. It was her first LPGA Tour win. I think it’s cool that an ’80s rock band sponsors an event, but wouldn’t Africa be a more appropriate locale? (jk) [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #4: Rain Forces Monday Finish in Mississippi<\/strong>
\nWeather has been a big problem at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi. As of Sunday evening, Round 3 has been suspended due to darkness and Roberto Castro has a one-stroke lead in the opposite field event. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #5: Golf Trip for Deserving Veterans<\/strong>
\nMore than a dozen U.S. veterans took a healing golf trip to Ireland. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #6: The Roller Coaster Continues<\/strong>
\nThe name at the top of the OWGR changed once again this week as Jordan Spieth overtook Jason Day, who sat out the WGC-HSBC in Shanghai. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #7: Punters<\/strong>
\nWhich NFL punter has the best celebratory golf swing? [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #8: Bad Break for DJ<\/strong>
\nSometimes a very good golf shot can turn out really bad. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #9: Save Our Course<\/strong>
\nCitizens in Canada are standing up for their course in a bid to prevent government from closing it. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
