Justin Rose played remarkable down the menacing closing stretch of the Merion Golf Club to win the 113th U.S. Open. It was the 32-year-old’s first major victory, and it should be no surprise to anyone that it earned him inclusion onto this list. He wasn’t the only one to turn in an impressive performance, though. With the world’s top two golfers in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy...

Following a solid even-par 70 in the second round to move to withing four shots of the U.S. Open lead, Rory McIlroy took a mighty stumble on Saturday at the mighty Merion Golf Club. McIlroy finished with a 75 on Saturday to sit well off the lead with the leaders still on the course. McIlroy struggled with accuracy in his ball striking at times and could not sink the putts he needed to....

Tiger Woods may be fifth in strokes gained-putting on the PGA this year, but unless he improves his putting stroke, he will come up short at the 113th U.S. Open. Of course, if Woods’ recent putting reflected his fifth standing (all stats according to PGATour.com) then this would be a ridiculous comment, but he hasn’t been. I’ll talk about the current form of his putting, but...

Betting on the golf carries a big risk/reward. It is insanely hard to identify a winner, but if one does manage to pick the winner, it will typically come with a big payday. Consider that six of the last nine winners of the majors have been first-time major winners, and we start to get an idea of how hard it is to identify a winner. At Bovada, Tiger Woods is the huge favorite at 9/2. If...

By beating David Ferrer on Sunday to claim his eighth French Open, Rafael Nadal now has more victories in a single major than any male player in history. By the time it’s all said and done, we’ll be able to take the gender qualifier off that statement. When, not if, Nadal gets to 10, he’ll have passed Martina Navratilova’s open-era record of nine wins at a specific...

Sebastian Vettel is proving that he is not only head and shoulders above his current competition, but also all those who have ever gotten behind the wheel of a Formula One car. On Sunday, the 25-year-old took the top spot in the 2013 Canada F1 Grand Prix to stretch his F1 points lead to 36 over the next closest competitor, Fernando Alonso. The BBC tweeted the news: Vettel started...

Falling in between Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament and the U.S. Open, the FedEx St. Jude Classic doesn’t pack much in the way the star power, but that doesn’t mean it is void of stars. For starters, Phil Mickelson, Brandt Snedeker and defending champion Dustin Johnson will be in this field, and two of those guys made this list. They will be joined on this list by four...

Matt Kuchar fired a four-under 68 on Sunday to win the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village at 12 under, and in the process, he proved to me that he is on the precipice of winning a major. Kuchar started Sunday playing in the day’s final group for the second consecutive week, and for the second consecutive Sunday, he fired a 68. The difference this time is that his score...

Tiger Woods narrowly missed several putts that kept his score from going any lower than his one-under 71 at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Round 1 of Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament. This left him six strokes back of first-round leader Charl Schwartzel. There were still a few groups left on the course when Tiger finished, but no one who had a realistic shot of catching Schwartzel. Woods...
