Annika Struggling

PGA
Congrats to Stuart Appleby for winning the Shell Houston Open in wire-to-wire fashion. This is Applebe’s first multiple-win season and he’s definitely good enough to make some noise at the remaining major’s.So it appears at first glance that Tiger might not be a factor in the U.S. Open this year because of his decision to […]

The GolfChannel - 1st Quarter Report Card

Being the golf nut that I am, I watch the Golf Channel quite regularly.  At a minimum I’ll watch Golf Central every night to catch up on the day’s events.  However, I also watch the Big Break (V), The Grey Goose 19th Hole, and usually Live From and the Post Game show each Sunday.  The […]

Baddeley; Ochoa Finally Win

PGA
Aaron Baddeley finally got his first win at Harbour Town, after breaking on the PGA scene in 2000 as teenager. The expectations for Baddeley were extremely high as he won the Austrailian Open as a 19 year-old. The grump Jim Furyk finished second in what was a great back nine to watch.
LPGA
Lorena Ochoa also got […]

Can Ochoa Finally Win?

LPGA
Lorena Ochoa has put together two solid rounds of golf again and leads the LPGA’s Takefuji Classic in Las Vegas heading into Saturday’s final round. Ochoa has had some problems closing the deal in the last couple of years and I hope she finally puts a strong round together. She was absolutely covering […]

David Toms - Some Cheese with that Whine?

David Toms was asked during a media conference call what kind of change he would make at Augusta, if he had the opportunity to have an audience with Augusta chairman Hootie Johnson.  Read on:
TOMS: “….so many rules.”
Q: “What do you mean by that?”

Masters Leftovers

Not surprisingly, the television ratings for this year’s Masters were down 13% from 2005’s Woods-DiMarco showdown. I think the greens intimidated everyone to the point of the players afraid of running putts too far past the hole and leaving a tricky putt coming back. Even the treacherous 16th hole Sunday pin location didn’t […]

The Masters Final Round - Boring

Phil Mickelson sleepwalked to his second Masters victory yesterday at Augusta National. This had to be one of the most boring Masters final rounds in recent memory as no one could mount any kind of charge to put the heat on Phil. If Fred Couples or Tiger Woods would have had average putting […]

Mickelson Leader Heading into Masters’ Final Round

Phil Mickelson shot a 2-under 70 in Saturday’s rain-delayed third round and leads Chad Campbell and Fred Couples by one shot. Woods, Singh, and Goosen are two shots back, and Ernie Els sits 4 back. Look for the back nine on Sunday to be a shootout and I’m not convinced all of the “Big Five” […]

Chad Campbell Tames Augusta

Chad Campbell shot a 5-under 67 on Friday to take the lead at the Masters. Don’t look back though because the top 5 in the world are all within 5 shots of the lead. Vijay Singh shot a two-over 74 but is still only two back at 3-under par. Ben Crenshaw followed […]

Singh Leads Masters

The Fijian,Vijay Singh leads after Thursday’s first round at Augusta.  His 5-under 67
leads Rocco Mediate (say again?) by one shot and Arron Oberholser by 2 shots.  Retief Goosen and Phil Mickelson are three shots back, Ernie Els is 4 back, and Tiger Woods is lurking 5 shots back of Singh.
Augusta National played dry and fast […]
