Johnson, Na, Kuchar in Lead; Tiger, Phil Make Cut

Kathy Bissell Ponte Vedra Beach, FL–Carnage. Love the TPC Sawgrass or hate it, the water and sand and awkward lies and island green and alligator are all a part of the challenge of the biggest tournament on the PGA Tour.

Milos Raonic: Possibly the Biggest Threat to the Big Three (Four) on Any Surface

Milos Raonic continues to impress me. He first caught my attention last year at the Australian Open, where he got to the fourth round despite having to qualify for the tournament.  In the process, he beat quality players such as Michael Llodra and Mikhail Youzhny before falling to David Ferrer in four.  He continued to win San Jose, beating a displeased Fernando Verdasco in the final....
