Morgan Pressel’s Career Highlights

Morgan Pressel, the 21-year-old LPGA sensation, has achieved many milestones in her young golf career. This slideshow is a look back at some of her career highlights and most memorable moments as she currently leads the pack at 2-under after the third round of the 2010 Evian Masters. Pressel, who was born in Tampa, Florida, began playing golf at the age of eight at her home course of St. Andrews Country... 

Women’s Tennis Tournament at Stanford Wide Open

The women’s Bank of the West Classic at Stanford this week is loaded with top players and should be quite a battle. Sam Stosur is the top seed followed by Elena Dementieva, coming off an injury, Agnieszka Radwanska, and Marion Bartoli. My personal favorite player, Maria Sharapova, is making her summer debut this week as well. I always tell myself not to let bias get in the way when making picks,... 

It Must Be Love: Grass And Clay Submit to Hard Blue of U.S. Open Series

It’s an odd time in the tennis year when all the surfaces seem to clash like a salad dressing that won’t emulsify. The clay season, which dominated the calendar from the first week in April through no fewer than 11 ATP events—three of them Masters—towards its conclusion at Roland Garros, has reared its head again. It seems an ungainly and untimely return of the red stuff before... 

Sacrilegious Serena: The Greatest Of All Time?

Throughout Roger Federer’s golden period from approximately the end of 2003 to 2007, he somehow repeatedly failed to accomplish a goal that he couldn’t have cared less about – being on the cover of Sports Illustrated.  In fact, the first time it happened, he had to share it with Nadal as part of the “greatest-match-ever-played” syndrome that followed after the Spaniard’s... 

USGA Looks to Canadian Tour for Help with Ball Distance

Gary Player, no stranger to hyperbole, earlier this month advocated that the golf ball distance should be rolled back 40 or 50 yards for professional players. In addition to the Black Knight, no less an authority than Jack Nicklaus has for years criticized the increase in golf ball distance as a threat to some of the world’s classic golf courses. For its part, the U.S. Golf Association publicly... 

Sebastian Vettel Earns Yet Another Red Bull Pole in German Qualifying

The qualifying for this weekend’s German Grand Prix certainly wasn’t the worst we’ve seen, but it didn’t exactly set my heart racing either (which seems to be a worrying development in 2010 F1 qualification). Yet again, the first session was a forgone conclusion, the second session wasn’t much better, but there was at least a bit of excitement for the final shoot out. ... 

RBC Canadian Open: Second Day Action and Fantasy Update

Dean Wilson, a tour pro for 18 yeras now, is the leader of the RBC Canadian Open after Friday’s cut round. Wilson has carded two 65s in two days.

Also tied for the lead at 10 under is Tim Clarke from England, playing well on Friday with a 64. Yesterday’s leader,Brent Delahoussaye... 

Tiger Woods: Sex Scandal Aside, Why Tiger May Just Be Past His Prime

The last nine months of Tiger Woods’ life have been a tornado of public scandal, secrets revealed, and simply personality-crushing news. The thinking was that the golf course would be his sanctuary where he could get back to his winning ways and bury all the negative press that surrounds him. That has yet to materialize as we’ve seen Tiger struggle. Yes, he has two Top 10 finishes in majors... 

Where Are Our U.S. Golf Stars?

Is it just me, or did the British Open result leave you with some questions? Don’t get me wrong, Louis Oosthuizen was impressive. What wasn’t impressive was the showing by the U.S. golfers with only six finishing in the top 20. By contrast, at the Senior British Open now underway, only six of the top 20 after round one are non-U.S. players. U.S. golfers in the senior ranks are the... 

RBC Canadian Open: Brent Delahoussaye Sets Course Record

Brent Delahoussaye shot a 62 to claim a share of the course record at St. Georges Golf and Country Club, and the lead by two after day one. Delahoussaye has been a pro for five years, and only has career earnings of about $150,000 dollars thus far. This could be a huge leap for the golfer that played his college golf at Clemson. However at this point, three more days is an eternity. In second place...
