Billy Hurley III had been in control of the first three rounds of the tournament taking a 2-shot lead over Argentinian Angel Cabrera into the final round at 12-under par. There was something poetic about […]

The First at No. 2
This week it would be the women’s edition of the U.S. Open at fabled Pinehurst No. 2 as they followed the men who played there last week. It is the first time in history that the Men’s and Women’s Opens have been played on consecutive weeks on the same course. For the first two rounds […]

Number 1 at No. 2
In the opening two rounds of the U.S. Open at historic, Pinehurst No. 2, Martin Kaymer did something that nobody is supposed to do at either the U.S. Open or at No. 2. Twice. 29 year old Kaymer shot two sublime rounds of 5-under par, 65 that would be record breaking in so many ways. […]

The Back 9-Edition 7
1. Next week’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst will be the last with Johnny Miller as the lead announcer. NBC TV lost the rights to the Open in a bidding war with Fox TV earlier in the year and loses its relationship with the USGA (who run the Men’s and Women’s Opens) early in 2015. Two-time […]

A Memorable Memorial
After the first round of the 2014 Memorial Tournament, it looked like there would be a runaway winner. Firing a course record 9-under par 63 was all of sudden red-hot, Rory McIlroy.

The Back 9- Edition 6
1. The decision by the USGA to host both the Men’s and Women’s US Opens at Pinehurst in back to back weeks this June is fraught with the possibility of disaster. The men play in the first week which is no cause for concern. It is the women that may be playing in some very […]

“I Stopped Thinking”
The first two days of the Players Championship were dominated by two of the game’s twenty somethings. A resurgent Martin Kaymer tied the course record with a flawless opening round of 9-under par, 63. He followed that up with a 69 to have a one shot lead over Jordan Spieth who played his first two […]
