Tiger Woods had a good but not great round at the Players Championship on Friday. He shot a 5-under par 67 at TPC Sawgrass and he finds himself one shot out of the lead. Woods had moved to the lead on the back nine when he shot an eagle 3 on the second hole (the 11th since he played the back nine first), but Sergio Garcia roared to the lead as he shot a 65. Woods was just missing on many of his birdie...

Rory McIlroy was expecting good things when he got to the Masters. He had played his best golf of the year at the Texas Valero Open the week before in San Antonio. McIlroy had played fairly consistently in that tournament through three rounds, but then he looked like the McIlroy of 2012 when he fired a 66 in the final round and finished second behind Martin Laird.

Moving day at the Masters began with controversy and intrigue. Was Tiger Woods going to be disqualified for his casual play of a drop on the 15th hole in the second round? As the third round got started, word filtered out that Woods would not get hit with a DQ, but he would be hit with a two-stroke penalty. While there was quite a bit of dissent, moving-day action put the attention back on the golf...

D.A. Points knew the pressure was on. When the rains came down in Houston and play was suspended in the final round, Points knew exactly where he stood. He had a one-shot lead with two holes to play. He knew that he could hang on for the Shell Houston Open championship if he could par the final two holes. That’s difficult enough for most golfers when play is continuous. But when you have to wait...
