Luke Donald hurt his left wrist in the U.S. Open.  He’s now going under the knife and he’ll be joining Tiger Woods on the injured list for the remainder of 2008.  That means no Ryder Cup for him.
It could be worse for Luke.  Assuming he’s right handed, he can still paint.

Padraig Harrington wins 2nd Open in a row
A few days ago I made a post saying that Padraig Harrington was questionable for even playing in the Open due to a wrist injury.  Thus he didn’t make my fantasy team.  He stuck it out through the pain and had a great performance to win his 2nd [...]

If you thought there were a lot of erectile dysfunction ads the first three days of the British Open broadcasts, you are in for a treat. 53 year old Greg (freakin’) Norman is leading by two going into Sunday’s final round. Norman is a 500-1 long shot.

Wow.  Tiger Woods just pulled his drive on #1, then hit a massive shot from the deep rough to short-side himself.  He hit a terrible chip for par and ended up making double bogey.  He just did a reverse leap-frog down the leaderboard.
