Andy Roddick’s 32nd Career Title: 5 Takeaways from BB&T Atlanta Open 2012

“Hotlanta” lived up to its name this past week at the 2012 BB&T Atlanta Open.  Sticky, humid weather and a barrage of T-Storms and rain delays challenged the field of mostly home-grown American players.  The lead story line, of course, was Andy Roddick winning his 32nd career title over Gilles Muller of Luxembourg at the same site where he won his first title 11 years ago. ... 

RBC Canadian Open 2012: Tee Times, Date and TV Schedule

Contrary to popular belief—and to Ernie Els’ own commentary—the British Open champion will, in fact, take on the challenge of the RBC Canadian Open.  What a relief.  After finishing atop the leaderboard at Royal Lytham on Sunday, Els told reporters, “I was supposed to go to Canada, but I think I’m going to blow that thing off.” Not exactly the best way... 

British Open 2012: Encouraging Performances That Will Get Better at Next Major

Baby steps to a major championship. That’s all it takes.  While plenty of golfers will undoubtedly be disappointed that it was Ernie Els who took home the Claret Jug—not them—they can’t dwell on the Open Championship.

Webb Simpson: Why His US Open Was Not a Fluke and Why He Will Win More

If he had played last week, Webb Simpson would have been a favorite to have won the Open Championship. Simpson decided that being overseas when his wife was due for the birth of their second child was not a good idea, so he stayed home. In his short time on the PGA Tour, however, he has shown to be a very good decision-maker. Since earning his tour card after the 2009 season, Simpson has won three... 

Super Rugby: Semifinals Weekend Preview

Just four teams, three games and two weeks remain in the 2012 Super 15 season. That’s right, it’s semifinals time, and while it’s been a great season to date, all that has happened now is irrelevant for those involved and it is the next two weeks that will determine how the season ends up.
