It has been a good year for European golf, no getting around that fact. Here is a list of things that have made 2010 a special year for European golf: * Two Europeans won majors; Graeme McDowell the U.S. Open and Martin Kaymer the PGA Championship. * Europeans have enjoyed great success on the PGA Tour, with several key wins throughout the year. * Lee Westwood is about to become the No. 1 ranked player...

This week’s Frys.com Open will be played at the CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin, California. The Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, built in 1999, is a par-71, 7,300-yard course with dramatic contours and elevation change. Jones remodeled his own original design earlier this year. Troy Matteson won the event a year ago. The field, although lacking the top players in the world, is fairly strong...

The last thing anyone wants or needs to hear is a recap of Tiger Woods‘ last 10 months. Trust me, we all know the story. So, instead of looking back, let’s look ahead. The golf season is not quite over yet. The big event still on the fall calendar is the World Golf Championships, which will be played in Shanghai in November. Tiger has already committed to the event. Woods will also play...

Ian Poulter, never one to mince words or clothing choices, has become the new bad boy of the European Ryder Cup team. He takes this honor away from Sergio Garcia. Garcia gives it up not because he’s turned sweet and loving, but because his game has gone so far south that he can no longer make Ryder Cup teams as a player. He is now the designated Euro cheerleader. Just need to get him some...

With just the singles matches remaining, the European team has built a fairly comfy three-point lead over the American teams. I think the U.S. squad needed to get within two points to feel good about its chances going into the 12 singles matches Monday. They didn’t get there. A three-point lead is huge at this stage. However, the lead is not quite as big as it would be if it were...

With his 0-2 start in the 2010 Ryder Cup, Phil Mickelson now holds a dubious U.S. Ryder Cup record. He now has the all-time most losses in the history of the American Ryder Cup team. He actually shares the honor with Ray Floyd. They both have lost 16 times in the competition. Mickelson could be the lone holder of this record before the weekend is over. Phil’s overall Ryder Cup record, including...

Round one of the Ryder Cup battle goes to Colin Montgomerie over Corey Pavin. No, not the first day of competition. Rain won that battle. No, the first battle won was that in the choice of rain gear for the players. Everyone knew (well, everyone maybe except U.S. captain Corey Pavin) that rain was going to be a huge factor in this Ryder Cup, based on the early fall weather history in this part...

At the Celtic Manor Resort in Wales, nine holes of the 2010 Course, as it is known, are from the older Wentwood Hills course, and the other nine holes were built by European Golf Design in 2006. The new 18-hole layout was constructed specifically for the purpose of hosting the 38th biennial match between the U.S. and Europe. James McKenzie is the Director of Golf at Celtic Manor, and he recently told...

Two years ago the United States Ryder Cup team, behind skipper Paul Azinger, was able to wrest the cup away from the European team with a five-point victory, 16 1/2 to 11 1/2. It ended a streak of three straight Euro wins, and was the first win for the Americans since 1999. Of course, that Ryder Cup was played on home soil, at Valhalla, with a strong crowd support behind the American team. This...

Is this what we’re left with? Jim Furyk as the player of the year? Isn’t it bad enough he just walked away with the Fed Ex Cup and its $10 million prize after winning the Tour Championship, but we’re also now going to call him player of the year? Of course he hasn’t won the trophy just yet, but you get the feeling he may have sewn it up with his one-shot victory Sunday...
