2010 British Open Results: Louis Oosthuizen Ushers In Modern Golf Era

There was nothing lucky about Louis Oosthuizen’s victory at the 139th Open Championship. The guy went out and demolished the field by seven strokes, and the margin would have been even greater had he not played the 17th and 18th holes so conservatively, as anyone would expect from a guy holding an eight-stroke lead with two holes to play (Oosthuizen was leading by eight before bogeying the 17th). Nothing... 

Has Piri Weepu Become New Zealand’s First Choice Halfback?

It was rumoured a few years back that Piri Weepu was unhappy in Rugby Union and was setting his sights on the NRL. Now the Wellington Hurricanes and All Black halfback is at the pinnacle of his rugby career, showing the New Zealand selectors and media that he is in top halfback form in New Zealand rugby. Weepu was simply outstanding in the All Blacks’ 31-17 victory over the Springboks... 

Louis Oosthuizen Wins British Open, But Does He Win Best Name In Golf?

No one had ever heard of Louis Oosthuizen until this weekend. But, he just won the British Open. Now he’s the talk of the golf world. While he was leading, ESPN had a special, where both golf fans and members of the PGA Tour tried to pronounce his name. Nobody could. I still can’t. And even though he’s now a household name, few probably can. Oosthuizen just had one of the biggest... 

Tiger Woods Needs a Major Win To Be Greatest, Save Tarnished Legacy

It’s not easy brainwashing thousands of spectators to believe in Tiger Woods at the most storied course, a 600-year-old course, classified as the oldest 18-hole course ever in St. Andrews.  But in a timeless four-day honeymoon, greeted by the Scottish spectators sitting charmingly in the galleries, Woods trailed on the leaderboard again, struggled again, relapsed again, and lost again....

British Open Recap: Louis Oosthiuzen’s Win and What St. Andrews Revealed

As Louis Oosthiuzen tapped in his final putt to capture his first major championship at the Old Course at St. Andrews, a multitude of questions still loomed in the chilling Scottish air. What if Paul Casey had not made a triple-bogey on No.12? What happened to the Americans at St. Andrews? What if Tiger’s putter had been on this week? What if Lee Westwood had made just a few more birdies in his... 

2010 British Open: Where Does Tiger Woods Go From Here?

Another golf major in 2010 without a healthy Tiger Woods hoisting the trophy. In one sense, it’s far too early to say the post-crash Tiger Woods is finished, but it’s clear he’s not his old self. The “slump” of 2003-2004 always seemed to have some kind of “hard” factor you could put your finger on, be it his swing changes to accommodate his knee, a bad day... 

2010 British Open: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson Search for Their Games

In his first trip to one of the biggest stages in golf, Louis Oosthuizen showed up all the big names. He outplayed Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood, Paul Casey, and everyone else to win the Open Championship by seven shots. It would have been by eight, but he three-putted the 17th hole in the final round. And he kind of laughed about it. In the process of winning, Oosthuizen left no doubt... 

The Hard Truth: Tiger Woods Isn’t a Good Putter

  Coming into this week’s British Open (or The Open Championship for any European readers), one of the biggest stories on the Tiger Woods front was the decision to use a different style putter because of the speeds of the greens at St. Andrews.  This decision was criticized by analysts, who thought that abandoning a putter that had won him 14 majors and 80-plus million in earnings was... 

British Open 2010 Results: Who Is the PGA Championship Favorite?
