Ranking the Best U.S. Open Courses of All Time

Golf courses that get the honor of hosting a U.S. Open are obviously several cuts above the thousands of other sites that would love to do so. While all of these courses are beautiful, there are some that are just a cut above the rest. Trying to rank them is like trying to choose the prettiest girl in a beauty pageant. Nevertheless, here’s my effort at ranking the best ones of all time. Begin... 

Memorial Tournament 2013: Are Bubba Watson’s 2013 Struggles a Surprise?

One of the surprising names on the rain-tortured Memorial Tournament leaderboard on Friday was Bubba Watson. When play was suspended for the day after a second cell of inclement weather hit the greater Columbus, Ohio area, there was Watson in a tie for second place with Matt Kuchar, Charl Schwartzel and Kyle Stanley at six-under. Watson, Schwartzal and Stanley were still on the course. The question... 

What’s Standing Between Brandt Snedeker and His First Career Major Victory?

The answer to this question seems to be very simple. There appear to be only two things capable of keeping the popular native of Memphis out of the majors winner circle. One goes by the name of Tiger Woods. The other goes by the name “low-bone turnover.” The first is fairly self-explanatory. The world’s No. 1 player is on his game again, and that’s not only bad news for Snedeker,... 

Will Matt Kuchar Take His Career to the Next Level in 2013?

Matt Kuchar has earned over $23 million during his professional golfing career. That’s just about all the money a man could want or need in a lifetime. But that’s not what drives the 35-year-old native of Winter Park, Fla. It’s all about winning. Surprisingly, Kuchar—who is ranked fifth in the FedEx Cup points race—has just five PGA Tour victories. Included in that total—to... 

When Will Rory McIlroy Reemerge from Tiger Woods’ Shadow?

When will Rory McIlroy reemerge from Tiger Woods’ shadow? The headline seems to indicate it’s not a matter of if, but when, Rory McIlroy will reemerge from the considerable shadow cast by Tiger Woods. Coming off a spectacular 2012 season in which he won his second major championship and was the No. 1 player in the world, who could have foreseen McIlroy not only being unable to extend his... 

Should Adam Scott Be Mentioned in the Same Breath as Golf’s Elite Stars?

Should Adam Scott be mentioned in the same breath as golf’s elite stars? Absolutely he should be mentioned, but should he get comfortable in that breath? I think not—at least not right now. Adam Scott is an outstanding player who has the 2013 Masters, the 2006 Tour Championship and the 2004 Players Champions among his nine victories on the PGA Tour. His swing, patterned after one of the... 

How Good Will Rory McIlroy Be When He Reaches the Peak of His Career?

Rory McIlroy has gone from child prodigy to young adult mystery. Remember the kids’ game, Where’s Waldo? Well, unfortunately for the 24-year-old Irishman, that’s how fans feel when they start looking at tournament scoreboards wondering where the former No. 1 player in the world is. It seems like a long, long time ago that McIlroy was dominating the game, winning tournaments, winning... 

Players Championship 2013 Leaderboard: Day 2 Scores, Results and Analysis

Sergio Garcia got out early, fired the low round of the day, 65, and sat back and watched the rest of field try to catch him. Because they couldn’t, Garcia holds a one-shot lead over Tiger Woods atop the leaderboard of the 2013 Players Championship. It’s a crowded leaderboard at the top, with plenty of star power. Lee Westwood and Henrik Stenson are two shots back, Adam Scott is four back.Sergio... 

Phil Mickselson: Is Lefty’s Glass Half Full or Half Empty Heading into TPC?

If Phil Mickelson were an author, he’d most likely be Stephen King. Mystery, suspense, strange twists and turns are all important parts of each man’s existence, and Mickelson showed that once again Sunday afternoon. In the soggy final round of the Wells Fargo Championship, Mickelson showed us why it’s so difficult to peg him as a contender in this week’s Players Championship... 

Ranking the 10 Prettiest Swings in Golf

It’s a lot like being a judge in a beauty contest. The mission is to rank the 10 prettiest swings in golf. Not the most powerful, the most accurate or the most athletic. No, we’re talking pretty and there are plenty of those. Finding the 10 prettiest, well, there has to be some subjectivity involvement and, with that, I give you the list.
