The U.S. Open is typically a grueling tournament where players who do their best to stay close to par will be in contention on Sunday, but this year will be different. While there are a few incredibly difficult holes—the gargantuan 256-yard par-three third and unreachable 628-yard par-five fourth come to mind—at Merion Golf Course, it is, on average, very short, stretching to just 6,996...

It’s time we put Matt Kuchar in the conversation for best golfer in the world. The 34-year-old may not be on the level of Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy, but as the world’s two top-ranked golfers were crashing to 65th- and 57th-place finishes at Muirfield Village this weekend, it was “Kooch” who was cruising to a two-stroke victory at the Memorial. Kuchar is absolutely unconscious...

Coming off a disheartening 4-2 loss to Belgium, the United States men’s national team looked to be in for a long day against powerhouse Germany, whether it be the Germans’ first, second or 17th squad. Naturally, the often unpredictable Americans pulled out the 4-3 victory in stunning fashion. Despite it just being a friendly, the gargantuan victory over what many believe to...

The feud between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods was taken to another level on Tuesday night. According to The Guardian‘s Ewan Murray, Garcia was at the European Tour’s gala players’ awards dinner where he was asked a question about Woods. His answer could be construed as a racist remark: Garcia was asked in jest if he would have the American round for dinner one night during...

This wasn’t really the birthday present Andy Murray was hoping for. On the day that he was celebrating his 26th cake day, the World No. 2 was forced to drop out of his second-round Italian Open match with Marcel Granollers, and now it appears likely he won’t play in the upcoming French Open. The news comes via Sky Sports’ Twitter account: …Happy Birthday, dear Andy. Nevertheless,...

With the 2013 French Open marking the first major in which each of the “Big Four”—Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal—will enter with at least one Grand Slam title, the stage is set for a memorable semifinal. Stanislas Wawrinka looks like he’s ready to crash that party. Blessed with a thundering backhand and terrific baseline game,...

We’re only to the quarterfinals at the Madrid Open, but the remaining matches are already must-see clashes. I guess that tends to happen when Rafael Nadal, the best clay player in history, is only the No. 5 seed. The world’s top two players, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, have been eliminated in the tournament’s return to red clay. But with a stacked field and...

Stanislas Wawrinka is peaking at the perfect time—finally. By defeating David Ferrer, 6-1, 6-4, at the Portugal Open on Sunday afternoon, the 28-year old Switzerland native recorded his fourth career ATP tournament win, and first since January of 2011. And I think it’s safe to say he was just a little pumped about the victory (via his Twitter account): Yesssss yessss...

Phil Mickelson‘s 54th-place finish at the Masters this week was an anomaly—not a sign of things to come. It would be easy to jump to the conclusion of the latter. It was the worst Masters finish of Lefty’s career since 1997, and he has fallen outside the top 50 in four of his nine events this season. At 42 years old, a case could be made that he is on the downslope of...
