Dastardly weather made mince meat of the early groups at the 137th Open Championship. Gale wind, torrential rain, and temps in the 50s turned a major tournament into a survival contest. “Can’t wait to go home” said Pat Perez, summing up many of the first players to go off sentiments. Perez shot 82….

I’m sure most of you have heard the news already but it was announced today that Tiger is shutting down for the rest of the 2008 season.
His reason? Oh, just a torn ACL and fractured tibia.
Yup, that’s right. Tiger Woods played 91 holes to win the U.S. Open with a broken leg and busted knee. [...]

Do you remember the advice that says if you write a scathing letter, or one with a necessary negative tone, that you should avoid mailing it for twenty four hours, read it again, and see how you might rewrite it having slept on your first thoughts? That’s the best way to assess what was just a…

If you missed the US Open, you missed some of the best golf ever televised. It was incredible. Almost literally. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was rigged to script the drama. I guess it’s conceivable that Tiger could aim for an adjacent hole’s bunker knowing he could execute the amazing [...]

91 holes, David vs Goliath, and a single stroke separated them after 91 holes. They were deadlocked after the 18 hole playoff, so it took a 19th playoff hole to decide what has to have been one of the most compelling major tournaments in quite some time. Tiger Woods parred the 7th hole, the 1st…
