Looking at each tournament before Thursday's play began, nothing really stood out for me. But after Adam Scott, Annika Sorenstam, and Darren Clarke captured the title at each of their respective events, there's plenty to talk about.
First, Adam Scott. The guy shows flashes of brilliance, but also looks clueless on the greens at times. This is why I still can't see him winning a major championship any time soon. Bill Nichols' story from the Dallas Morning News can be read here.
Annika Sorenstam's win at the Stanford International Pro-Am reminded us that she is only 37 years old, and is still hungry. It was only a year ago that Sorenstam was the talk of the tour. It's nice to see that she can still intimidate her opponents the way she used to. Read the final round wire wrap-up here.
Darren Clarke won the Asian Open yesterday by sinking a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole. It had been awhile since we had seen Clarke fire a crowd up like that. After all, his last win came in '03. What a feel-good story. The Reuters recap can be found here.
