OK, I ADMIT TO BEING FACETIOUS in my headline, but there are many ways Paul Azinger could go with his four captain’s picks for the 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup team. It’s been widely reported that Zinger is willing to think outside the tee box when it comes…

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.

My pal Greg Norman is 53 years old and missed the cut in all three tournaments he’s played this year. He has zero FedEx Cup points, zero dollars earned.
Somehow Norman has shot two 70’s in a row and is at even par at the par 70 Royal Birkdale. Meanwhile some of the [...]

If you missed today’s 3rd round of the U.S. Open, find someone who recorded it and WATCH IT. This round was perhaps the most amazing round I’ve seen Tiger Woods put together, from a Seve Ballesteros or perhaps Houdini perspective. His driving was horrid, yet he managed to get the job done in [...]

Does Stuart Appleby have the game to win his first major and the U.S. Open? I’d LOVE to see Appleby win this thing. Unfortunately I’ve seen him falter with pressure, missing some short putts while in contention of tournaments which have much less pressure.
Strengths and weaknesses?
Most consider Appleby to be comfortable [...]
