2012 Ryder Cup Upon Further Review: Who Was the Real Winner?

Davis Love III’s Saturday night chat with his team must have included a chalk talk to implement the prevent defense. If anyone is waking up Monday and wondering how the United States fumbled a 10-6 lead on Sunday, they may need to go under the hood of one of Ian Poulter’s Ferraris and count the number of spark plugs—twelve. They might find a cruel reminder that when it comes to team... 

Tiger Woods, Stuck on 14: How His Major Win Window Is Closing

It all started on his bedroom wall.  We now know it as the List. We know that Tiger posted the major championship mark set by Jack Nicklaus somewhere on his bedroom wall, maybe near the mirror or the closet and it has smacked him in the face every waking day. This year, many pundit’s felt he would win at least one major, if not two.   As the sun faded at Kiawah, so did his chances... 

2012 PGA Championship: 4 Reasons Phil Mickelson Will Be in Contention at Kiawah

Oh, the winds of change. The heather near the ocean on Kiawah Island is waving expectantly.The water washes up on the sand, releasing to a bubbly finish like spilt champagne. The setting at Kiawah has a calmness that is far removed from so many mainland championship venues. And this major feels different. There is a restlessness. There is no one dominant player leaving footsteps in the sand. No talk... 

2012 PGA Championship: 10 Players Without a Major Who Will Score Low at Kiawah

  The game of golf is far from cookie cutter.   This is not the Daytona 500 where cars whiz around an oval track again and again.  This is raw terrain.  And, the Ocean Course at Kiawah is the most stark kind of playing course the world’s best players have seen this side of the Atlantic.   Add sand waste areas, gnarly bunkers, wind and water.  When Pete Dye designed... 

Bubba Golf Plus Bubba Gump Shrimp Equals an All Time Classic

We learned a valuable less in Augusta, Ga.  Golf is not archery. Golf is a game of angles, obstacles, and last week it was reduced to a pink driver and a 53-degree hook shot that spun the game on its axis.   There was a movie in the mid 1990s that sent the world stammering for words.  The movie was Forest Gump.  And, it reminded us that the ‘ordinary man’ is sometimes... 

David Duval Eats Humble Pie: Misses at Final Stage of PGA Tour Q-School

Gone is the Nike swoosh that used to adorn David Duval‘s bag, hat, apparel and checkbook. He finished 152nd on the PGA Tour money list in 2011.  Last week at PGA Tour Q-School, his under the radar rounds of 72, 72, 73, 73, 68 and 72 left him unceremoniously at 2-under, tied for 63rd.  Twelve years ago he was first.  Not at Q-school, on the PGA Tour. Duval showed up at the final... 

Ring the Cowbell: The President’s Cup Selection Has Come Down to This

Dear Freddie: There is no reason to wait until Tuesday.   There is no reason to ponder your last selection for the President’s Cup.  There is no sense wringing your hands and holding a press conference to announce anything other than your pairings.  This guy has the game, and he is letting his clubs do the talking.  If you choose Bill Haas, the critics will scream nepotism,... 

2011 British Open Leaderboard: Could Have Unbelievable Chubby Slam at Sandwich

C’mon baby, let’s do the twist. – Chubby Checker (1960) It’s happening again. The British Open leaderboard is aligned for another groundhog day. The Irishman at the top, Darren Clarke, would, with a win, propel his agent to the forefront of golf’s super agents. Fifty years ago, a man named Chubby revolutionized a dance move. The country was swept into a tornado-like... 

British Open Golf 2011:Tom Watson’s Ace on the 6th

Never has golf seemed so timeless.  The 61-year-old Tom Watson captivated the gallery at the par-3 6th with a magical seven-iron shot.  Watson playing with 20-year-old Tom Lewis (who was named after Watson) continues to dazzle the golf world on Day 2 at the Open Championship. He may not have the same bold putting stroke that allowed him to duel Jack Nicklaus and Seve Ballesteros in the 1970’s... 

British Open Golf 2011: Breaking Down Day 2 Pairings

Like the fog that slowly lifts above Sandwich, England, there is a moment in every major championship when the picture becomes vividly clear.  Day one was a red-number blitz that left the Royal St. George’s course defenseless.  The wind and the rain failed to defend the sizzling iron shots and the course was simply too short.  Thirty-five players broke par and the big hitters had...
