PGA: Trevor Immelman wins Masters; Tiger second

Trevor Immelman capped off a tough year with a Masters victory by three shots over Tiger Woods.  Last year, Immelman caught a stomach bug and later found a benign tumor behind his lungs that was removed in December 2007.  Now, he owns a nice green jacket and joins one of the most elite group of [...]

PGA: Colin Montgomerie has sour grapes

Colin Montgomerie is upset that the Masters didn’t pick him…but he would be just as upset if he was playing.

The Players Champ

Phil Mickelson played a calm, cool and collective final round 69 to win his first Player’s Championship victory.  The “5th Major” looks to be a launching pad for a new Phil with new coach Butch Harmon.  Time will tell if this new partnership will get Phil to the number one spot in the world ranking [...]

Masters Champion

When the leaders couldn’t hold on, there was Zach Johnson.  He was at or near the top all week, playing very consistent.  When the time was right, he took advantage and rolled onto victory.

Yet again, Woods will be in the [...]

Moving Day at the Masters

We have some new names atop the Masters’ leader board.  Going into “Moving Day,” as it is known, a lot can happen with 14 players within four shots of the lead.  Tiger and Phil have been pretty tame but made it through to the weekend.  With their experience and triumphs at Augusta, Saturday will be a big day for [...]
