U.S. Senior Open Is Cinderella Stage for Medicus Founder Bob Koch

The wonderful facet of the U.S. Open and the U.S Senior Open is that you find great stories about little-known players who defy the odds and gain entry into these prestigious national championships. The U.S. Senior Open begins on Thursday at the Indianwood Golf and Country Club just north of Detroit in Lake Orion, MI. There were 2,479 players over 50 who tried to qualify. My longtime friend, Bob Koch,... 

Kevin Na Abused, Taunted at Players Championship and That’s Not Right

It was probably the worst big-time golf event behavior in recent memory. It was rude, crude and simply something that shouldn’t happen at an event like the Players Championship. The PGA Tour has long pushed its own little mini-major as the “fifth” major, but it simply is not that. All it had on Sunday was major bad behavior from the galleries that targeted Kevin Na. Yeah, Kevin... 

Rory McIlroy Is an Irish Honey Badger

When he was a bright-faced 11-year-old in the close-knit community of Holywood in Northern Ireland, Rory McIlroy told the townsfolk he wanted to be the best golfer in the world one day. Sunday, he made a huge move toward that dream, ascending to the No. 1 ranking in the world of golf. He saw what he wanted at the Honda Classic, and he took it. Irish Honey Badger. After all, the Honey Badger takes... 

Matt Every Interview Drops Major Bomb on PGA Tour

It may be one of the most awkward moments in Golf Channel history. Second round leader Matt Every was being interviewed during the Friday golf telecast by the Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman after he finished with a 64, setting the 36-hole pace with a 10-under par 130 at the Sony Open. After some questions about his round, Tilghman brought up Every’s July 2010 arrest on marijuana... 

British Open Favorites? Better Check Out the Scottish Open First

Do yourself a huge favor. Watch the Barclay’s Scottish Open this week on the European Tour. Do it, treat yourself to what has to be a simply amazing venue. First, take this video flyover tour of the Stuart Castle Golf Links sitting there in the Scottish highlands. Gander a look at this layout. Simply spectacular. You’ve got links land overlooking the Moray Firth and Stuart Castle bay.... 

Rickie Fowler’s Failure to Launch: The Orangesicle Melts Again, Goes Oh-for-52

Orange on Sunday didn’t work real well for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 1976 and 1977. Those loveable losers went 0-26 wearing orange on Sundays. Rickie Fowler might want to rethink this orangesicle theme of his on Sundays at PGA Tour events. He might want to ditch the orange because he’s simply melting like a popsicle on a hot summer day. The kid who made his reputation with one... 

Bad Bubba: Watson Turns Ugly American in Paris?

Flubba, Bubba. Bad Bubba. Whining Watson. You hate to see stuff like this but it’s apparent Bubba Watson went Ugly American in Paris the past two days at the Alstom Open de France, aka the French Open. First, Bubba didn’t have to go to Paris. He wanted to go and the six-figure appearance fee, perhaps as high as $240,000, was a nice incentive. Next, consider the venue, Le Golf National,... 

Tiger Woods Goes Lucas Glover in Philly

Evidently, Eldrick Woods has a new role model. Lucas Glover. El Tigre, sporting a new beard and unable to play in his own event this week at Aronimink, stepped up and answered some questions about the golfing world’s most famous knee, and as Tiger is want to say, “it is what it is….” Tiger unleashed these tidbits on Tuesday: He hasn’t hit any balls, and that would... 

Tiger Woods: Where Are All His Buddies at Aronimink?

Just take a moment and imagine, if you will, that you are eavesdropping on Tiger Woods having some phone conversations with some of his “friends” in an effort to boost the star power of this week’s AT&T field at Aronimink. Tiger: Hey, Phil, it’s Tiger, how’re things? Phil: Good Tigh, good, how’s your knee progressing? Tiger: Good Phil, good, I’m not 100... 

PGA Tour at the Halfway Point: It’s Nothing More Than Lederhosen

The PGA Tour season is past the halfway mark. Two down, two to go in the major championship season. So how do you sum it all up so far? Well, it’s uh, er, well, it’s lederhosen! Lederhosen? Yes, all you have to do is look to the right at Dustin Johnson wearing lederhosen. Johnson bears an eerie resemblance to the character “Squiggy” from the old television series Laverne...
