\"HittingLorena Ochoa continues her domination of the LPGA Tour as she wins the Samsung Championship for her seventh victory of the year. She also takes Player of the Year honors for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

This week, we have several links from the Frys.com Open, Lorena Ochoa’s seventh win of the year, and a story about John Daly’s balls. Golf balls, that is.
\n
\nHole 1: Rookie Wins<\/strong>
\nRookie George McNeill shot 23-under par to earn his first PGA Tour victory at the Frys.com Open. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: Seven Times a Victor<\/strong>
\nMy understatement of the year: Lorena Ochoa is good. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Comeback Kid<\/strong>
\nThe resurgence of Ernie Els continues as he defeats Angel Cabrera in the World Match Play Championship. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: Where’s My Balls?<\/strong>
\nIt’s always something for Mr. Daly. Now his balls are mixed up. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: End of a Prodigy<\/strong>
\nRon Sirak thinks Michelle Wie needs to start earning her way into events. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: For the Birds<\/strong>
\nOf all things, rare birds may take down Donald Trump’s project in Scotland. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: Moving Along<\/strong>
\nESPN takes over the first two rounds of The Masters in 2008. All I ask is no Chris Berman. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: Ryder Cup Zinger<\/strong>
\nRyder Cup captain Paul Azinger is a bit high strung to say the least. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: Do Over<\/strong>
\nMichelle Wie now wishes she hadn’t played this year. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
