In case you haven’t seen, heard or read, Boo Weekley won the Verizon Heritage by three shots. The final leaderboard showed Boo at -15 with Anthony Kim and Aaron Baddeley tied for second at -12. There was no one close to Boo on Sunday, and despite being put on the clock for slow play on [...]
“Thomas Brent “Boo” Weekley … is a fat guy who plays on the PGA Tour.” (Wikipedia) How eloquent. Boo is stepping into the role from which John Daly has so ungraciously exited – that of the blue collar golfer who is more NASCAR fan and full-time sportsman (the fishing and hunting kind) than elitist golfer. [...]
Not really. But he did have arthroscopic knee surgery. My only question is, would he have had the surgery if he won the Masters? The knee has been bothering him since the middle of last year. Obviously he didn’t want to have it during the month he took off leading up to the Masters. Why [...]
Masters’ Leftovers John Feinstein lets us know that “Golf Will Survive without a Major from Woods.” Trevor Immelman does the Top 10 on The Late Show with David Letterman: Geoff Shackelford excerpts from Golf World and The Times highlighting that the general consensus is that Augusta National “has become all about playing defensively and minimizing [...]
Some will have you believe that the next scheduled Major for the 2008 PGA Tour season is the U.S. Opon at Torrey Pines in San Diego, California. It’s not. THE PLAYERS Championship is the perennial “fifth-major.” I’m using this post to make it official, as it clearly should be. The Purse — It has the [...]
The only things left from the 2008 Masters are a few highlights and some half-hearted coverage on the golf channel. The final round was plain and simple. The leader backed up and no one wanted it badly enough to make up the difference. Brandt Snedeker’s disappointment was made too clear by his weeping during the [...]
Liveblogging the final round of the 2008 Masters from my living room. Can Immelman hold on to win his first major? Can Tiger charge? Will Phil implode further? These questions and more will be answers. Stay tuned! 11:03 — OK, I’m going to get breakfast. Will resume when more players are on the course. 11:00 [...]
Early Bird Round four begins at 10:35am when 1988 Masters champion Sandy Lyle tees off by himself. With no one in his way, he should be able to finish before the leaders tee off at 2:25pm. Despite finishing last, it would be nice to get the final round out of the way early and kick [...]
If anyone other than Tiger Woods was six shots behind with one round to play, they would not be considered to be in contention. However, when it comes to Tiger, six shots might as well be one shot according to the mainstream media. Why? Because in-contention Tiger means better ratings and more reads. It does [...]
The Cut The cut came a three over par, which leaves a lot of big players out of weekend play. Ernie Els’ coaching switch from David Leadbetter to Butch Harmon wasn’t enough to keep Ernie in contention this week. Sergio Garcia continues to search for his competitive spirit and once-superb shot-making abilities. Both missed the [...]
