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.

US Open 2013: Will a Big Name Clinch 1st Major Title at Merion?

The USGA claims it sets up the U.S. Open every year to identify the best golfer in the world. At Merion Golf Club this week, the organization is doing an even better job of highlighting the best golfers in the world without a major championship to their credit.

French Open 2013: Breaking Down Why Rafael Nadal is so Dominant on Clay

How Worried Should Rory McIlroy Be About 2013 Struggles?

Memorial Tournament 2013: Which Tiger Woods Will Show Up at the U.S. Open?

During the four days of Jack Nicklaus’ annual event, however, he looked like one of the worst professionals at Muirfield Village.  The pressing question now is which Tiger will show up at Merion Golf Club for the 2013 U.S. Open a little less than two weeks from now.  Will... 

Memorial Tournament 2013: Matt Kuchar as U.S. Open Champ Doesn’t Sound Silly

It’s just a matter of time until Matt Kuchar wins a major championship, and considering the way he’s played this weekend at the Memorial Tournament, that time might just come two weeks from now at Merion Golf Club, site of the 2013 U.S. Open.

Tiger Woods Poised to Again Write His Own Headlines at Memorial 2013

After spending the past two weeks embroiled in controversy largely because of someone else’s making, the focus for Tiger Woods is back on golf—exactly where the world’s top-ranked player wants it and needs it.  Tiger’s one-under 71 in the opening round of the Memorial Tournament, which left him six shots behind Charl Schwartzel, was his first appearance since the once-private...
