Knock Knock
If you keep knocking on the door, sooner or later someone is going to answer. Welcome back to the winners circle, Brandt Snedeker. The hottest player in golf just got burning hot. Snedeker won his fifth PGA Tour title at Pebble Beach this weekend after a remarkable run of consistent golf. After opening the season […]
75
It was as much as foregone conclusion as is possible in golf. Tiger Woods won his 75th PGA Tour event today at one of his favorite courses, Torrey Pines in San Diego. It was the eighth time Woods has won at Torrey Pines. He has now won the Farmers Insurance title a record seven times […]
Down in Dubai
World #1 and present day wunderkind, Rory McIlroy played his first tournament of the year at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. McIlroy shot a pair of 75’s and will not be playing on the weekend, making this one of those rare occasions that he will miss the cut. He was paired with former World #1, […]
A Miracle at Medinah
It tied the biggest comeback in Ryder Cup history, when the American team came back from a 4 point deficit to beat Europe in 1999. It will forever be known as the “Miracle at Medinah”. After the first 14 matches (in foursomes and four-ball), the American team held what looked to be an insurmountable lead, […]
A Coronation at Kiawah
At the halfway point of the PGA Championship at the Kiawah Island Ocean Course, the 36 hole co-leaders were Vijay Singh and Tiger Woods at 4 under par. Both men had survived the most brutal round in PGA Championship history that was the second round. The average score for the field on that day was […]
Another Jug for Ernie
Adam Scott had been in command of the Open Championship for most of the first 68 holes. The 32 year Australian, who many regard as having the finest swing in the game today, seemed finally ready to claim his first Major Championship. Paired with Graeme McDowell in the final pairing on Sunday, Scott’s day began […]
The 74th
Tiger Woods’ 74th victory on the PGA Tour at Congressional Golf Club in Washington D.C. this week was his third win on the PGA Tour this year. For most players, that would add up to a career year. Woods, however, has set his own standards so high that even though this has been his best […]
What a tangled Webb, we weave
Up until now, the fabled Olympic Golf Club in San Francisco had famously hosted 4 other US Open titles, all of which had surprise winners. Jack Fleck beat the unbeatable Ben Hogan in an 18-hole playoff in 1955. It would be Fleck’s only PGA tour win. Billy Casper came back from a 7 shot deficit […]
Out of the Woods
It is not as inevitable as it once was. If we were watching the Tiger Woods of the early part of the century, after he made two birdies in the first four holes of Saturday’s 3rd round at the Memorial to take a one shot lead, we would have all thought that it was “game […]
Larry Shute
We just wanted the Bird Family to know that our esteemed retired professional, Larry Shute, lost his wife, Nancy, who died peacefully yesterday (April 22, 2012) after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimers. She will be buried in Crossville TN on Saturday, April 28. For those who so choose, Larry is asking that no […]
Hubba Bubba
Once again, the Masters gave us the most splendid theater and incredible golf. 3 time winner and most beloved of the Augusta faithful, Phil Mickelson made a disastrous triple bogey 6 on the par 3, 4th hole. His second triple bogey of the tournament would be too much to overcome. He fought back valiantly and […]
It’s only day 3….But
We are only at the entrance-way of the grand finale that is the last day of the Masters, but there are already so many wonderful lessons that we can learn from the first 3 days.
