2011 PGA Tour Hodgepodge: KJ Choi, the War on Slowplay, Battle for No. 1 & More!

First, congratulations to K.J. Choi, winner of the 2011 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. I have always been a fan of his, but there’s something eerie about spelling “boys” with an “i.” I took my son to see a practice round at Sawgrass and bumped into K.J. Choi as he walked to the ninth tee box. He was the very first golfer I spotted. The moment inspired me to post... 

Crowne Plaza Inv: Confidence and a Hot Putter Propel David Toms to the Lead

David Toms, who is less than a week removed from missing a three-foot putt for par on his first playoff hole against K.J. Choi, finds himself at the top of another leader board at the Colonial Invitational. Toms, whose last win on tour was in 2006 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, turned a lot of heads last week with his play in Ponte Vedra, Fla. at TPC Sawgrass. “I screwed up,” says Toms... 

French Open 2011: Andy Roddick Withdraws from Roland Garros

Andy Roddick, America’s highest hope at Roland Garros, has withdrawn with a right shoulder injury. The ATP World Tour tweeted this news just before 10pm CET, and the official Roland Garros Twitter account replied: “Bad news – we hope Andy feels better soon.” Roddick has never gotten further than the fourth round at Roland Garros, and the likelihood of his participation seemed... 

Federer, Nadal or Djokovic: Who’s the Best Bet at the 2011 French Open?

Men’s tennis works in eras, unlike women’s tennis which is pretty erratic in terms of consistent performances. In an era of men’s tennis, there is a champion and there is a challenger. In the 90s, it was Pistol Pete who was constantly challenged by the man with the lion-mane wig. Then, in the 2000s, when the Fed Express was running full steam ahead piling up the Grand Slams, out came... 

Tiger Woods: If Tiger Never Regains His Form, Will He Walk Away from Golf?

The U.S. Open is a month away, and as great as the Masters is, I still believe that our national open is the most prestigious event in the sport. The rough is absurdly thick, the greens are as fast as the playing surface of a hockey rink, the fairways are barely wide enough for a threesome to walk down. It’s the truest, toughest test of golf in the world. So there is no better, or more fitting,... 

Tiger Woods: Six Things He Can Do to Get Ready for the U.S. Open

Tiger Woods needs to get ready for the U.S. Open in a way he never has before, because he certainly doesn’t want to show up there and shoot a 42 on the front nine and then pull out like he did at The Players Championship.  Tiger hasn’t won at all in almost two years, and hasn’t won a major in over three years.  Apart from that, he doesn’t hit it as far as he used to,... 

US Open 2011: Phil Mickelson & 7 Contenders with a Shot at the Next Major Title

They call it the U.S. Open because anyone who manages to qualify can play, and anyone who plays obviously has a chance to win. Cinderella come-from-nowhere stories aside, here’s seven contenders who can come-from-somewhere to win. Obviously everyone will have an eye on Charl Schwartzel who emerges from the Masters with a brilliant winning performance that had him playing steady all week, and... 

Tiger Woods: Could the 2008 U.S. Open Have Been His Final Major Title?

Tiger Woods, with his playoff victory over Rocco Mediate at the 2008 U.S. Open, won his 14th major, and breaking Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major titles seemed certain. Three years later, this is no longer the case. History shows that many of the greats lose their winning ways suddenly. Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson all suddenly stopped winning majors after dominant periods. Nick Faldo... 

Colonial Invitational: The Major Champions Who Have Won in Fort Worth.

The Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial has a history of notable winners.  Ben Hogan, with five victories, is most associated with the tournament.  Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Arnold Palmer have all claimed victory at Colonial Country Club.  Founded in 1946, it is the longest running PGA Tour event to only be contested on one course. In 2003, Colonial saw Annika Sorenstam become... 

Payne Stewart and the 25 Best Dressed Golfers of All Time

Building a Track and Field dynasty is one of the hardest things to do for a coach. With only 12 scholarships to give out he has to choose wisely on who gets those scholarships and not lean to heavily on one event group. The Ducks men have made mistakes in that area, leaning too heavily on distance runners and not building a deep Sprint Corps. But things are starting to change. Head Coach Vin Lanana...
