Then about mid-day the sun came out, the temperature warmed, and the scores started improving.
At the end of round two, there were some familiar and some surprising names at the top of the leader board. K J Choi managed a 3-under …read more

After a cold, rainy, and dreary day at Royal Birkdale for the first round of Britain’s Open Championship, it was Rocco Mediate sharing the lead with Stuart Allenby and Graeme McDowell.

Today he proved that the US Open wasn’t a fluke.
Mediate ended the day with back-to-back birdies to card a 1 under 69. The trio is followed by Greg Norman (yes, that Greg Norman–the father, not …read more

Paula Creamer went wire-to-wire to win the LPGA’s Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, played just outside of Toledo this past weekend. Creamer broke the tournament record on Thursday with an 11 under.
This is Creamer’s 7th career win and her third win this year. It is especially appropriate for the 21-year-old, California native to win the Jamie Farr since she represents Owens Corning in their advertisements and is known for her pink apparel, golf balls, and golf accessories. (Pink is the color of Owens Corning insulation.) She is pictured above with the Pink Panther, another Owens Corning spokesman.
