Wow. What else do you say about Tiger? He easily won the 2006 PGA Championship today at Medinah Country Club and in the process, his 12th major of his career. This round seemed more matter-of-fact than his win at the Open Championship last month when he surgically mastered the final round.
I’m actually […]

Tiger Woods is tied for the lead with Luke Donald heading into the final round at the PGA Championship. As everyone who’s even remotely interested in golf knows, Tiger is 11-0 when leading or holding a share of the lead going into a final round of a major championship. That’s an incredible record to say the […]

Andrade, Donald, Herron, and Stenson. Sounds like a law firm, but it’s the four-some tied for the lead at this year’s last major, the PGA Championship. Of that group, Luke Donald is probably the only true contendor, but lurking 1 behind is Mr. Woods himself. Davis Love III and Geoff Ogilvy are also 1 back […]

I know I’ve talked about this before, but what happened to the days of honesty from coaches and managers? Was reading Captain Lehman’s comments about his rookies on the Ryder Cup team and he said, “…So the idea of not having experience does not scare me at all.” If the team had only […]

There’s a great article by Jackie Burke in the latest edition of Golf Digest about his experiences as an assistant on the 2004 Ryder Cup team. He comes across as a genuine, down-to-earth, kind-of-guy that would be great to hang with for a round of golf. The main theme I got from the […]

Was watching some old videotapes I have of the 2000 U.S. Open that Tiger won (by burying the field BTW) and since I’ve watched it dozens of times the tape is getting kind of worn. Decided to look online and order a DVD of the same tournament. Wow, was I in for a suprise. Either I’m […]

The final major of the year starts on Thursday at Medinah and the golf world is gaa-gaa over a possible Woods-Mickelson showdown on Sunday. They will be playing together (as is customary) for the first two rounds (along with U.S. Open winner Geoff Ogilvy) so the mood could be set if either player jumps out […]

Dean Wilson outlasted Tom Lehman in a playoff yesterday to win the International at Castle Pines in Colorado. Wilson’s prior claim-to-fame before winning yesterday was his classy approach to playing with Annika Sorenstam three years ago at the Colonial in Ft. Worth, Texas. Wilson probably got more mileage out that pairing than anything […]

It’s truly a sad day for anyone that follows golf with any sort of regularity, as Heather Clarke, wife of Darren, succumbed to cancer early Sunday morning.
Darren Clarke has always been of the classiest players on the European tour and has always treated American fans with the utmost respect.
Darren last played competitive golf on […]

I can’t believe all the hoopla surrounding Lehman possibly making the Ryder Cup team now that he’s in contention at the International at Castle Pines in Colorado. He’s three points out of first place and that’s not a lot to have to make up in the modified Stableford system of scoring.
While this may seem as […]
