British Open 2011: Thomas Bjorn Could Be the New Cinderella Story

A lot of irony was combined with the first round of Thomas Bjorn at this year’s Open. The Dane earned his spot in the field Monday when Vijay Singh withdrew earlier this week, and Singh was the player Bjorn shared the runner-up spot with at Royal St. George’s in 2003. Bjorn opened on Thursday with a five-under 65, and that was his first round in the 60s at the event since his third-round... 

British Open 2011: Tom Lewis’ Amateur Hour

With first round 65s of both Thomas Bjorn and Amateur Tom Lewis, history could be in the making at the British Open 2011. Lewis, a 20-year-old native of Welwyn Garden City, England, opened his first British Open with a five-under 65 – the lowest round by an amateur in Open history – to share the 18-hole lead with Thomas Bjorn. Lewis, named after five-time British Open winner Tom Watson,... 

Scottish Open: Matt Kucher Is Safe, Phil Mickelson Could Be in Trouble

The Castle Stuart Golf Links in Scotland is demanding the best from some of the best golfers in the world, and some of those golfers are in trouble this Friday. However, American world number eight Matt Kuchar did Friday morning what he does every week on the PGA Tour; played a solid round of golf to secure a shot at the title in the weekend. With a bogey free second round of 66 Kuchar ended up on... 

Bad Behavior by Bubba Johnson in Paris: Two Golf Worlds

The PGA Tour versus the European Tour. It’s coming up from time to time. Right after the US Open, Rich Lerner aired his thoughts on the matter on the Golf Channel, claiming, “As we know, the PGA Tour is much tougher,” and that the players in the US are much better than what the European Tour can manage. The general American thought is that courses in Europe are easier and the players... 

Is American Golf Paying the Price for Idolizing Only Tiger Woods?

Is American golf paying the price for idolizing Tiger Woods and forgetting all other US golfers? It looks like it. On the other hand, die-hard fans of Tiger will tell you they are right: Tiger is the only one. No US player has taken his place the last 18 months. The question is, then: Why are the Europeans so damn good, and the Americans so far behind right now? Probably because the European... 

Tiger Woods: Has He Dropped the Ball on the Matter of Sean Foley?

I am taking my hat off to Tiger Woods. Really, I am. After seeing his press conference at Augusta, answering question, I thought “Why the heck didn’t he act like this from the beginning?” The answer to that question—I still believe—would be: “’Cause then he would not have won 14 majors on 11 years.” Anyway, one year ago, Tiger was sitting at Augusta at... 

Rory McIlroy: He Is Just Being Honest About Tiger

It’s always funny how reporters tend to ask Rory McIlroy about Tiger Woods when they do not have anything else to write about. Back in the old days, it used to be, that a certain group of golf reporters—well, mostly the big Tiger Tea Party of US golf reporters—always wanted other players to comment on how fantastic Tiger’s golf game was. These days, those reporters still want... 

Tiger Woods: Another Obvious Triumph Lies Ahead This Week

His stat line in the Accenture Match Play Championship reads like this: 32-7 and three victories, including a record streak of 13 consecutive matches won between 2003 and 2005. The best numbers you will find in for any player in this tournament. You can say that about Woods... 

Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood in Trouble at Accenture Match Play Championship?

World No. 1 Lee Westwood will face Henrik Stenson of Sweden instead of Tori Taniguchi in the first round of this week’s Accenture Match Play Championship. This is the only change from last week’s ranking, where Taniguchi held the 64th and last spot in the field, but it does represent quite a change for Westwood.   Stenson might be No. 69 in the world ranking (OWGR) this week and... 

Tiger Woods Moves into Contention Friday With 66 in Dubai

Tiger Woods made a serious charge at the top of the scoreboard in the second round of Dubai Desert Classic when he fired a bogey-free 66 early Friday Morning on Emirates Golf Club. Starting on the day on the back nine, the world’s No. 3 made three birdies to turn in 34 shots, the same as yesterday. This morning Tiger was five shots better on the first nine holes of the course, compared to the...
