Australian Open 2013: Bold Predictions for Day 7

The 2013 Australian Open moves into the Round of 16 Sunday in Melbourne. Half the men’s and women’s fields left will play on Sunday, while the other half will have the big-show courts to themselves on Monday.

Dissecting Serena Williams’ Remaining Path to the Australian Open 2013 Final

The first week of the 2013 Australian Open, so far, has been very kind to Serena Williams.

During that 1999 season, Duval shot a 59 at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in the final round to win it and won the Players Championship. Probably the closest player to actually match Tiger Woods win-for-win, Duval won his first major at the 2001 Open Championship. Just shy of his...

Rory McIlroy: Why He Must Play in the 2016 Summer Olympics

In the end, the game of golf needs Rory McIlroy to tee up at the Summer Olympics in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. McIlroy recently told the BBC that (via the National Post): I just think being from where we’re from, we’re placed in a very difficult position, I feel Northern Irish and obviously being from Northern Ireland you have a connection to Ireland and a connection to the U.K. Unlike... 

Which Brit Will Win a Major First: Ian Poulter or Justin Rose?

Both Ian Poulter and Justin Rose are certainly capable of winning majors. However, Rose is probably the more polished of the two players.

No matter how calm, cool and collected a player might be, at some point on a Sunday, it will sink in that they are on the verge of winning a major. The pressure...

Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty for Jim Furyk?

2012 should have been a great year for Jim Furyk. The golfer best known for one of the most unconventional swings in the game’s history had final round leads at both the United States Open and WGC-Bridgestone Classic. Sadly for Furyk, those leads never held. Sorry, Jim. The double-bogey six on the 72nd hole at Firestone—when all you needed was a bogey five for a playoff—shows that...
