If it was a fight they’d have stopped it on the 12th hole. Paul Casey’s triple bogey and Louis Oosthuizen’s birdie resulted in a four shot swing and left just the formality of Oosthuizen completing the final holes and securing the 2010 Open Championship at St. Andrews. Yes indeed, the gold medal champion golfer of [...]

6,584 yards of pure terror. If you think Oakmont is giving in to the ladies for their annual national championship, guess again. The par three 8th hole can play 252 yards. The par five 12th is the longest in women’s history at 602 yards. Throw in the church pew bunkers and bathtub greens and par [...]

Well I was and the Ryder Cup website had this information; “Details of the ticket ballot and application process will be posted on The Ryder Cup and European Tour websites when the details are finalised.” “Tickets to the 2010 Ryder Cup [...]

I confess I’ve never been much of a Mickelson fan. Nothing personal, it’s just you’re either a Woods or a Phil fan. I was in the Woods camp.Today at the final round of the 2010 Masters the balance shifted. Phil captured his 3rd green jacket with a phenomenal display of bogey free, pressure golf on [...]

Dubbing itself the “fifth major”, the 2010 PLAYERS Championship gets underway on Thursday from the TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. I’m not sure that you can even have a 5th major, much less one always played on a Pete Dye design that the word quirky only begins to describe. Regardless, it’s always one [...]
