Life Changer
In the space of the last 3 weeks, Billy Horschel has established himself as one of the game’s brightest stars. He is also 13 million dollars richer. Horschel began the 4-event FedEx Playoffs in basic obscurity in 69th place. No player in the 8 year history of the FedEx Cup had won golf’s richest prize […]
The Captains Picks
Both Ryder Cup Captains announced their three selections yesterday (9 players on each side had already automatically qualified in the two year long process) and there was little surprise with whom they chose. Europe’s Paul McGinley picked Stephen Gallacher, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter to represent the home team. 39 year old Gallacher will be […]
Hunting In The Playoffs
The first 2014 FedEx Cup Playoff event at the Barclays Championship in Ridgewood, NJ was everything that the PGA Tour could have hoped for. As Sunday’s final pairing of co-leaders, Jim Furyk and Jason Day made the turn to the final-9; there were 16 other players within 4 shots of their 11-under par lead. The […]
Back 9-Edition 8
In an announcement last Wednesday, Tiger Woods withdrew his name from consideration as a Captain’s pick for the upcoming Ryder Cup. In doing so, Woods avoided the potentially uncomfortable situation of being chosen when his health and play clearly didn’t merit a selection or the ignominy of not being picked at all by U.S. Captain, […]
No Doubt About It
After 36 holes in the 2014 PGA Championship there were a familiar trio of 20-somethings once again at the forefront of a Major Championship. World #1 Rory McIlroy was in command after rounds of 66 and 67, which left him at 9-under par for the Championship, but only with a slim advantage over 26-year old […]
Number One
One gets the sense over the past few months that there has been a gradual changing of the guard with the world’s top players. The game’s two biggest draws over the last 20 years have been Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, neither of whom has recorded a Top 10 finish on the PGA Tour in […]
A Third of the Four
The Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake, has been the Open Championship host when some of the game’s greatest players claimed their Claret Jug. Among those Champions were Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Peter Thompson, Roberto Di Vincenzo and Tiger Woods who was the last player to win here in 2006. The 143rd Open Championship was the […]
Front 9-Edition 8
31 year old American, Mo Martin, opened with a pair of 3-under par 69’s that staked her to a 3-shot lead entering the weekend at the Ricoh Women’s British Open. As expected, Martin would stumble on Saturday and relinquish her command of the season’s 3rd Major Championship shooting a 5-over par 77 that seemed to […]
A Third on the Fourth
There were fireworks aplenty during the final round of the PGA Tour’s Greenbrier Classic over the 4th of July weekend. 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 Front 9-Edition 8
It is with great pride that we announce Craig Waryan’s election into the Minnesota Golf Hall of Fame. Craig is one of Bird Golf’s Senior West Coast instructors and this great honor is certainly deserved for a lifetime of brilliance. Craig was the 87th member of the PGA of America to achieve “Master” status, and […]
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. […]
