15 Most Disastrous Major Golf Tournament Performances of All Time

With the greatest of tournaments comes the greatest of pressure. More people watching means more people there to see you fail. An optimistic attitude and a steely reserve can do a player wonders, but even the best of them get tripped up under the spotlight of a major championship. That is the ultimate cruelty: at any point, to any player, the heat of the moment in a major can strike them down. This... 

10 Golfers Who Could Pull off a ‘Webb Simpson’ at the British Open

Golf is a game where great achievements are widely praised but quickly get forgotten. It is a sport that offers frustratingly little consistency (unless you’re playing poorly), and players at the top of the media’s radar one day can soon tumble far down the list. Want an example? This year’s U.S. Open champion offers a prime one. In 2011, Webb Simpson put together an incredible breakout... 

Memorial Tournament 2012: Rory McIlroy Flames out in Columbus

Two weeks away from returning to the U.S. Open, the tournament that saw the greatest performance of his young career, Rory McIlroy is in shambles on the golf course. The world No. 2 continued his recent run of bad results in Columbus, missing the cut after collapsing to a second-round 79. The Northern Irishman gamely fought back from an early quadruple bogey Thursday to put together an impressive one-under-par... 

The 10 Hardest U.S. Open Holes of All Time

The U.S. Open has certainly never been a friendly or low-scoring affair. There was the Massacre at Winged Foot (and a gut-wrenching part two as well), the disastrously dry conditions at Shinnecock Hills and the terrors of Oakmont most times the Open goes there. Yes, last year Rory McIlroy tore apart Congressional to the tune of 16 under par, but don’t expect that score to be matched any time... 

Players Championship 2012: Power Ranking Hardest Holes at Golf’s Fifth Major

The most lucrative week in golf for the pros who make up the PGA Tour (seriously, a $1.71 million payout for the winner?) is upon us once again. The Players Championship will bring in one of the strongest fields in golf as tour players vie for possibly the biggest non-major championship trophy in golf. Despite the tournament’s success, its host course, the TPC of Sawgrass, has never gotten the... 

2012 Wells Fargo Championship: Exciting Sunday Ahead

With a third consecutive round in the 60s, Webb Simpson surged to the top of the leader board at the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, N.C. on Saturday. The man who is a member of Quail Hollow and lives less than a mile from the course sure feels comfortable on a place so close to home. Rounds of 65, 68 and 69 have Simpson at 14 under par, one shot ahead of the field and in the form he found in... 

Assembling the Most Impossible 18-Hole Course from World’s Toughest Venues

Despite what some may think, humans love to witness disaster in sports. How else could one explain the excitement they feel when an athlete fails at exactly the wrong moment? Sure, people felt bad for Jean Van de Velde after his implosion to lose the 1999 Open Championship, and many others sympathized with Phil Mickelson after he was relegated to calling himself an idiot when he blew the 2006 U.S.... 

Ben Curtis Surprising Leader at Valero Texas Open

A former major champion sits atop the leaderboard  of the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio, but the proceedings are from expected. Ben Curtis, winner of the 2003 Open Championship, hasn’t found nearly the same success since, but after posting a second straight five-under 67 on a tough TPC San Antonio track, he finds himself in prime position to take home his first PGA Tour victory in six... 

Colt Knost Gets Chance to Finally Break Through on the PGA Tour

Five years ago, a golfer named Colt Knost from Southern Methodist University (SMU) made a daring decision. The young man, who had won the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Amateur Public Links earlier that year, forwent invitations to the first three major championships of 2008 and instead turned pro. The decision, much scrutinized at the time, finally seems to be paying off. Knost finds himself just one shot...
