After Jimmy Walker took a seemingly commanding lead into Sunday at the AT&T National Pro-Am, he turned the blustery, star-studded tournament into a knee-buckler in the end. Walker, who was six ahead of the pack when the day started, had to make a squirrely five-footer on 18 to preserve his tour-leading third victory of the season. As usual, the stars were out and having a great time. If we told...

It is one thing for Brandel Chamblee to criticize Tiger Woods‘ swing and quite another thing to question the No. 1 player in the world’s veracity. Tiger had almost as many rules infractions (four) as he had wins (five) on the PGA tour this year. For his wins, his peers named him Player of the Year. For his infractions, he got an “F” from former player, now Golf Channel announcer...
