Anna Kournikova Is the Best and Worst Thing to Ever Happen to Women’s Tennis

Anna Kournikova is the best and worst thing to ever happen to women’s tennis. Forget the equal prize money available to the winner of Wimbledon. Kournikova showed women how to get paid big bucks without winning jack.  Kournikova’s impact on women’s tennis can be seen in the ridiculous debate between fans of Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams.  Williams and Sharapova,... 

U.S. Open 2013: Did The USGA Make Merion Too Hard for Its Own Good?

ARDMORE, Pa.— Somewhere along the eighth fairway on Sunday, I looked down at my phone and saw a complaint about how horrible the golf was, with players on almost every hole dropping shots left and right.  These are supposed to be the best players in the world, and it seemed like none of them could do anything to beat Merion Golf Club. That probably made those in charge at the USGA smile,... 

US Open Golf 2013 Payout: Winner’s Purse and Final Leaderboard

The 2013 U.S. Open came down to the wire, and Justin Rose will be paid a handsome $1.44 million for securing his first major championship victory Sunday. Rose’s victory ended what was an incredible tournament at Merion Golf Club. The course didn’t seem to cooperate very much with the players’ intentions, and the winner’s one-over par score is only proof of that. But whether... 

Ranking the Most Heartbreaking Moments of Phil Mickelson’s Career

After his final-round 74 at Merion, Phil Mickelson now has a record six runner-up finishes at the U.S. Open.  Think about it: Lefty is a six-time bridesmaid at the same event. That’s enough heartbreak for several careers as a professional golfer…and we haven’t even touched on the other three majors, or the rest of the events on the PGA Tour. Implosions, near-misses and chases,... 

US Open 2013: Phil Mickelson Should Ask for a New Putter for His Birthday

ARDMORE, Pa.—Phil Mickelson didn’t get a U.S. Open Championship for his 43rd birthday like he wanted. He probably should have asked for a new putter first.  Through his 18 holes on Sunday, Mickelson used his putter 37 times on the greens. Well, he used his actual putter 36 times, as he had to use his wedge to get the ball over a ridge on the 15th hole that, technically, still... 

Justin Rose: Staring Down Phil Mickelson Makes 2013 US Open Title Even Sweeter

Sunday at Merion Golf Club was supposed to belong to Phil Mickelson. It was his birthday, Father’s Day and his best opportunity in years to win that elusive U.S. Open championship. Problem is no one told Justin Rose. Not only did the talented but once-underachieving Englishman win his first-ever major championship Sunday in the 2013 U.S. Open, he did it by besting third-round leader Mickelson,... 

US Open Golf 2013: Players Who Will Struggle to Rebound from Poor Showing

Several golfers who performed poorly in the 2013 U.S. Open will need time to rebound, if they bounce back at all. While household names like Phil Mickelson and Luke Donald collapsed late, other notable players struggled so much that they weren’t even relevant by Round 4. Here are those players, ones who will want to forget their performance this weekend as fast as possible. But the loss will... 

US Open 2013: Ranking the Biggest Surprises at Merion

The 113th U.S. Open was Phil Mickelson‘s to lose Sunday at Merion Golf Club. But no matter what mistakes we recall from Lefty’s ebb and flow final round, there’s no denying that Justin Rose (+1) deservedly won the Open and in doing so, his first major championship. The 32-year-old Englishman performed with the poise of a veteran beginning with his first tee shot Thursday. Rose never... 

Merion Golf Club US Open 2013: Challenging Course Caused Havoc All Weekend Long

The U.S. Open concluded on Sunday, and Merion Golf Club’s course did golfers no favors throughout the weekend. Final standings from the weekend can be found at the official website of the US Open. Justin Rose of England walked away victorious, but not even the champion had an easy time. He finished the tournament at one-over-par. Nobody finished under par, so that shows just how difficult the... 

US Open Leaderboard 2013: Final Results and Analysis from Merion

Justin Rose won the 113th U.S. Open by shooting an impressive even-par 70 in Sunday’s final round to beat out Phil Mickelson and Jason Day by two strokes at Ardmore, Pa.’s Merion Golf Club. Pars are golden in the season’s always demanding second major championship, but Rose was able to make five birdies to offset his five bogeys in the final round before pars at the grueling final...
