British Open Favorites 2013: Championship Odds for World’s Top Players

Please read the headline above carefully. This is a slideshow concerning the world’s top players, as determined by the Official World Golf Rankings. They may not be the best players at this moment, but they have achieved their rankings as a result of their play over a period of time. Arguments could be made that as many as five of the players on this list don’t even belong in the Open Championship,... 

How Much Will the PGA’s Anchored Putter Ban Affect Adam Scott?

Since February 2011, the point in time in which Adam Scott made the decision to go over to the dark side where long putters are used, he’s won two golf tournaments: the 2011 World Golf Championship-Bridgestone Invitational and the 2013 Masters. Prior to February 2011, Scott won seven PGA Tour events. So does that say when 2016 comes and the anchored putting stroke becomes verboten by the rules... 

Which American Is Most Likely to Contend for the 2013 British Open Title?

If there was ever a year someone might wonder if there was an American golfer capable of winning an Open Championship, it would be 2013. Four of the top Americans who will be at Muirfield are currently ranked in the top 25 of the Official World Golf Rankings, and three of those are in the top 10. But based on their current form, is there one among that group who engenders any kind of great confidence... 

Will Phil Mickelson’s U.S. Open Hangover Last Through the 2013 British Open?

The real question isn’t so much will Phil Mickelson’s U.S. Open hangover be over by the Open Championship, but whether or not it will last into next year. Coming off his sixth runner-up finish in the U.S. Open, Mickelson can’t help but be building up quite a bit of scar tissue from all of those brushes with glory. He bravely soldiers on, however, smiling and telling all who will listen... 

What to Expect from Adam Scott at the 2013 British Open

Adam Scott is not only very good but very lucky as well. The word “lucky” is not used in a derogatory sense. It just as easily could have been “fortunate” instead. When the stylish Australian fell apart in last year’s Open Championship—a crash that wiped out a four-shot lead with four holes to play—his hunt for that elusive major championship victory continued. That... 

What Is Phil Mickelson’s Window to Win Another Major?

To be perfectly honest, I thought that Phil Mickelson‘s window had already been closed and bolted prior to the U.S. Open. I thought Mickelson’s best chance was 2006 at Winged Foot when he stubbornly and foolishly launched his driver off the roof of a hospitality tent on the 18th tee that led to a calamity of errors and another missed U.S. Open possibility. But when he unexpectedly played... 

What Jason Day Must Do to Live Up to His Vast Potential

I can vividly remember the conversation, although it’s been many years now. Sitting down to lunch with Bud Martin, a high-powered, Pittsburgh-based player agent whose stable includes John Daly, Rickie Fowler and Jason Day, the conversation to the then very young Day. “Watch out for this kid, he’s the real deal,” Martin said. That description was certainly right on the mark,... 

2013 Travelers Championship: What’s Bubba Watson Missing Since 2012 Masters Win?

There is nothing about Bubba Watson that makes you think “great champion.” He is a champion, no doubt, and he has the green jacket in his closet at home to prove it. But nothing he has done since that magic week in April of 2012 could be used as evidence that he’s a great champion. He is, however, flighty, whiny and fidgety, and he carries a considerable attitude under that floppy... 

How Different is Adam Scott’s Game After His Major Breakthrough?

The smile and satisfaction have not faded for Adam Scott. It’s been nearly two months since the Australian withstood Angel Cabrera and a rainy Georgia afternoon to win the Masters, his first major title. Over the course of those two months, Scott has played three times with mediocre results: T19 at the Players Championship, T13 at the Memorial Tournament and T45 at the U.S. Open. Is he playing... 

US Open 2013 Results: Breaking Down Tiger Woods’ Round 3 Struggles at Merion

Off the mark. That’s the simplest way to describe Tiger Woods’ third round in the U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club. He had a great chance to get himself into contention for a final-round run, but let that possibility get away quickly, and he’ll now be out on the course well before the contenders on Sunday morning. Here’s a breakdown of his third round, and how he fell out of contention...
