\"ThrashThe 2008 Masters and Players have come and gone, and this month’s list is weighted by both. Trevor Immelman won the green jacket last month at Augusta but has struggled badly since. Sergio Garcia, on the other hand, silenced the putting demons long enough to win The Players this past weekend. The media has been waiting for the young guns to step it up, and both Immelman and Garcia did just that in the past month.<\/p>\n

It’s been a great past month for the PGA Tour, but the LPGA Tour has also made waves. In fact, three ladies have completely dominated things in 2008. Lorena Ochoa, Annika Sorenstam, and Paula Creamer have accounted for 10 wins in 11 events so far this season. That’s an amazing stat to say the least.<\/p>\n

All five mentioned above are in this month’s Bunker’s Dozen<\/em>, but where will each of them end up? Continue reading to find out. If you have anything to add, please comment below or discuss it in the forum<\/a>.
\n<\/p>\n

\n
1<\/div>\n
\"Trevor<\/div>\n

Trevor Immelman<\/span> won The Masters, and while he has struggled since, the win is still plenty enough to top this list.<\/div>\n

\n
2<\/div>\n
\"Lorena<\/div>\n

Lorena Ochoa<\/span> added two more victories to her impressive 2008 run. This could be a record-breaking season for the Mexican phenom.<\/div>\n

\n
3<\/div>\n
\"Sergio<\/div>\n

Sergio Garcia<\/span> saved par with a clutch putt on the 72nd hole to get into a playoff at The Players. After Paul Goydos found the water on the first playoff hole, Garcia hit a clutch iron shot en route to winning the biggest tournament of his career.<\/div>\n

\n
4<\/div>\n
\"Annika<\/div>\n

Annika Sorenstam<\/span> has won two out of the last three LPGA Tour events and has looked reminiscent of the Annika of old in the process.<\/div>\n

\n
5<\/div>\n
\"Darren<\/div>\n

Darren Clarke<\/span> returned to the winner’s circle for the first time since his wife’s death in 2006. This has “story of the year” written all over it.<\/div>\n

\n
6<\/div>\n
\"Tiger<\/div>\n

Tiger Woods<\/span> didn’t play his best at Augusta last month, but he still finished in a tie for second. The world’s best is currently out after knee surgery.<\/div>\n

\n
7<\/div>\n
\"Anthony<\/div>\n

Anthony Kim<\/span> dominated the field at Quail Hollow and picked up his first-career PGA Tour victory at the ripe age of 22.<\/div>\n

\n
8<\/div>\n
\"Adam<\/div>\n

Adam Scott<\/span> birdied the 72nd hole to get into a playoff at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. He sunk a 50-foot putt for birdie to win the event on the third playoff hole.<\/div>\n

\n
9<\/div>\n
\"Torrey<\/div>\n

Torrey Pines<\/span>, site of this year’s U.S. Open, will be the longest course in Major Championship history when the world’s best tee off next month.<\/div>\n

\n
10<\/div>\n
\"Paula<\/div>\n

Paula Creamer<\/span> won her second event of 2008 a week after losing to Annika in a playoff. It’s going to be a three-horse race for supremacy on the LPGA Tour this year.<\/div>\n

\n
11<\/div>\n
\"Boo<\/div>\n

Boo Weekley<\/span> won the Verizon Heritage for the second consecutive season. The win moved Weekley into the top 25 in the world rankings.<\/div>\n

\n
12<\/div>\n
\"Colt<\/div>\n

Colt Knost<\/span>, the 2007 U.S. Amateur and U.S. Amateur Pub-Links Champion, shot a final-round 65 and picked up his first-career Nationwide Tour victory this past weekend.<\/div>\n

\n
13<\/div>\n
\"Paul<\/div>\n

Paul Goydos<\/span> had The Players victory in his sights, but he bogeyed the 72nd hole and dumped his ball in the water at the first playoff hole. That’s why he is in the “unlucky” 13th spot this month.<\/div>\n

Dropped Out:<\/em> Geoff Ogilvy, Augusta National, Bernhard Langer, Henrik Stenson, Sean O’Hair, Johnson Wagner, The Tavistock Cup, Louis Friberg, Ernie Els, Andres Romero, and Slow Play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
