\"Hittin'Hello and good day to you from Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. For all you football junkies out there, we know it’s tough trying to kick the pigskin habit when the season ends. Hopefully some golf talk can ease your withdrawal symptoms a touch.<\/p>\n

In this volume we make our rounds reporting the winners from around the world, listen in on the European Ryder Cup buzz, and look into who Pat Perez gets to play at the Accenture Match Play. In addition, we take an early peek at the 2015 U.S. Open venue, see what Natalie Gulbis was doing at Pebble Beach, and take inventory on how Els, Mickelson, and Singh ended up this week.
\n
\nHole 1: Lowery Takes Pebble Beach<\/strong>
\n47 year old PGA Tour veteran, Steve Lowery, takes advantage of Vijay Singh’s closing bogeys to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: The Ryder Cup<\/strong>
\nA little Ryder Cup talk from across the pond. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Congratulations on Getting in the Field, We Have Some Bad News<\/strong>
\nPat Perez barely made it into the field at the Accenture Match Play Championship, but that means he gets Tiger Woods in the first round. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: Who Won, But I Thought Ernie Els was in the Field?<\/strong>
\nA rather unknown Indian golfer, Shiv Chowrasia, outlasted the field to win the Indian Masters. Where’s Ernie? [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: Hoch Returns to the Winner’s Circle<\/strong>
\nScott Hoch welcomes his caddie back and then wins the Allianz Championship on the Champions Tour. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: And Mickelson Makes it a Choke Trifecta<\/strong>
\nWith Els hacking it up and Singh fading down the stretch we almost forget the 11 Mickelson made at Pebble. I mean at least Ernie and Vijay made the cut. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: 2015 U.S. Open<\/strong>
\nThe USGA has awarded a new public course in Washington the 2015 U.S. Open Championship. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: This Week in Golf<\/strong>
\nRecap of the week in golf. Score one for the old guys. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: I Know They Don’t Make What the PGA Pros Do but Does She Really Need a Second Job?<\/strong>
\nLPGA Star Natalie Gulbis makes good on a deal to caddie for her friend at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
