Masters 2011: Final Round Recap and Analysis

Most people outside of South Africa, myself included, had never heard of Charl Schwartzel before today. Everyone will know his name from now on. Schwartzel birdied the last four holes to defeat a trio of Aussies and a charging Tiger Woods. Adam Scott and Jason Day ended up two back. Woods, Geoff Ogilvy, and Luke Donald ended up tied for fourth at 10-under. Rory McIlroy, who led or co-led almost the... 

Masters 2011: Recapping Friday’s Second-Round Action

The young guns of the PGA Tour are in control going into the weekend of the first major of the season. But there’s a Tiger on the prowl. Rory McIlroy and Jason Day, who played together for the first two rounds and will play together again tomorrow, claim the top two spots.  But Tiger Woods, who went 7-under in his last 11 holes, is in a tie for third, one shot out of second place and three... 

Justin Timberlake and The Top 10 Celebrity Golfers

Justin Timberlake’s annual celebrity golf tournament is a couple of weeks away, but it got me thinking about some of the top celebrity golfers. I’ve seen a few other Bleacher Report slideshows focusing on the subject, and usually they focus on who’s best handicap-wise. I’m going to go a different route and rank (in my personal opinion obviously) the top 10 celebrity golfers... 

Ryder Cup 2010: Preview and Predictions of Monday’s Singles Matches

Thanks to a lot of rain, the 12 singles matches for the Ryder Cup have been moved to Monday for the first time in the history of the event. The United States started out strong, but during the last set of matches, the Europeans nearly swept the U.S. and now have a 9.5-6.5 lead.  The U.S. needs 14 points to retain the cup, Europe needs 14.5 to win it back. Its not insurmountable, since the U.S.... 

Ryder Cup 2010: Preview and Review Of Saturday’s Matchups

Thanks to Mother Nature, we’re getting more than we bargained for on Saturday.  We’ve had to wait to see how the first and second rounds finish out, and if they can finish the second round before darkness. Its also forced NBC to go with live coverage throughout the day, which basically nullifies my previous article blasting the network for airing coverage on tape delay. So, it has... 

Shame On You: NBC to Show the Second Day of the Ryder Cup on Tape Delay

Really? The Ryder Cup is one of the most prestigious events in golf – possibly in all sports – yet NBC has decided that during the second day of play on Saturday that they are going to show it on a tape delay. And not once have I heard a good reason as to why its being done this way. ESPN is showing the first day live from 2:30am eastern until 1pm.  The singles matches on Sunday will... 

Ryder Cup 2010: Power Ranking The Top 10 WAGs Of The Competitors

The Ryder Cup is almost upon us.  So why not count down the top 10 WAGs of the players? Lisa, the wife of American captain Corey Pavin, already dressed down for Avid Golfer magazine. But we’re starting things off here with former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Kandi Harris, fiancee of Team USA’s Hunter Mahan. I would’ve loved to add more than 10, but some of the players just don’t... 

The Masters Extends Their Television Coverage by Two Hours: Why Not Even Longer?

Augusta National Chairman Billy Payne told ESPN that they will be extending the coverage of The Masters an extra hour next year for the first two rounds.  That means we will get two extra hours of the golf season’s first major. My question is: Why not extend it further? Don’t get me wrong, I like the fact that they have extended it an extra hour.  But I want more. It took years... 

Yani Tseng Outduels Michelle Wie to Win In Arkansas

She almost did it again. Two weeks after her second career victory, Michelle Wie came up one shot short of Yani Tseng at the P&G NW Arkansas Championship. After lighting up her second round, including a 28 on the back nine, Wie cooled down Sunday to shoot two-under par and finish at 12 under.  A couple of late bogeys would be her undoing, despite finishing with back-to-back birdies. But this... 

Michelle Wie Wins the Canadian Open: Let Her Enjoy It

How long before the naysayers start questioning Michelle Wie again?  One week?  One month? Ms. Wie won The Canadian Open after leading, or co-leading, for 68 of the 72 holes she played.  She shot a final round 70 to beat playing partner Jiay Shin, and three others by three shots.  It’s the second win in her two-year career as a pro.  The naysayers will argue...
