Are they crazy in New Orleans or just on golf courses? Noted Cajun chef, and New Orleans native, Paul Prudhomme was doing prep for his part of the celebrity food event at this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans when he thought he’d been stung by a bee. Instead, a .22-caliber rifle bullet fell out of his right sleeve. YOW!

Jefferson Parish authorities said told the Associated Press that it was likely that the chef was hit by a descending bullet fired within 1 1/2 miles of the course. Chef Paul required minimal medical attention and was back cooking within five minutes.

Prudhomme who became nationally known as the first American executive chef at New Orleans’ famous Commander’s Palace restaurant went on to open K-Paul’s Kitchen in New Orleans and write a number of Cajun cookbooks.

Nineteen-year-old, Morgan Pressel is one of the hottest players on the LPGA Tour. She’s only the youngest player to win a major LPGA tournament. This video shares Morgan’s answers to nine quick questions about golf, her life, and her inspirations:

With all of the talk this weekend about Tiger Woods’ winning streak, it’s a good time to look at who holds a variety of PGA Tour Records.

Most PGA Tour career wins – Sam Snead (82)

Most PGA Tour wins in one year - Byron Nelson (18 in 1945)

Most consecutive years with a PGA Tour win - 17 years – Jack Nicklaus (1962-1978) and Arnold Palmer (1955-1971)

Lowest score for 72 holes in a PGA event – 254 by Tommy Armour III in the Valero Texas Open in 2003

Most Birdies in a 72-hole PGA event – 32 by Mark Calcavecchia in the 2001 Phoenix Open and Paul Gow in the 2001 BC Open

Most wins after 40 – Vijay Singh (17)

Most Major tournament wins – Jack Nicklaus (18); Tiger Woods leads active players with 13

Geoff Ogilvy held on to a one-stroke lead to win the WGC CA Championship at Doral Country Club this morning. Ogilvy finished with a -17, ahead of Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk, and Retief Goosen–all tied at -16, and Tiger Woods at -15. In a tournament peppered with weather delays, including one that ended play yesterday at 720pm, Ogilvy kept his head and his game focused. Tiger struggled on Saturday and Sunday, but made his customary charge for the seven holes played Monday, birdying three of the seven. It wasn’t enough.

Woods won his last eight events and hasn’t lost since September 3, 2007. In his characteristic nonchalent style, Woods wasn’t dwelling on his defeat. He was traveling to Orlando to compete in the Ryder-Cup style Tavistock Cup two-day event. As he told ESPN, “It’s going to be a long day.”

Australian PGA veteran, Geoff Ogilvy is in an enviable position, or so one would think. He leads the WGC CA Championship at Doral Country Club in Miami by one stroke over Tiger Woods after 36 holes. He’s playing well, with 12 birdies and no bogeys so far in the tournament. Yet the odds are 5-to-1 against his beating Woods. Tiger’s record is that good.

Still it was fun to watch Ogilvy tame the “Blue Monster” at Doral. Here are a few of Friday’s highlights:

The best 50 male golfers in the world have convened at Miami’s Doral Country Club this week for the WGC CA Championship. The tournament, begun in 1999, has been played all over the world, settling in 2007 at Doral and the resort’s “Blue” course, dubbed the “Blue Monster.”

It would seem that it’s Tiger Woods’ tournament to lose. Not only is he undefeated so far this season, but he has won the event six times in eight starts, never finishing out of the top ten.

For a look at the “Blue Monster,” take a peek at this fly-over of the course:
