With the British Open set to begin Thursday at Royal St. George's in the wonderfully named Sandwich, England, it's time to acknowledge that what we're about to watch is going to be painfully entertaining. You know how it is when scores soar at the U.S. Open (that didn't happen last year, ...

Tiger Pulled A Phil

Monday, August 17th, 2009

It finally happened. Tiger Woods blew a lead after 54 holes at a major for the first time in his career. He failed, he folded, he fell apart, and like everything else he does, Tiger did it spectacularly. To put it another way: Tiger Woods pulled a Phil Mickelson. Woods blitzed ...

We'll bet you haven't been thinking about golf much since Tiger Woods won the U.S. Open on one leg, have you? Well, we are one week away from the beginning of Ryder Cup practice. And we love us some Ryder Cup, so it's time to start priming everybody up for ...

Rod Pampling Is Punctual

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Everyone loves a good squabble between athletes. This story isn't one of those, though. Because Rod Pampling and Phil Mickelson are golfers, not athletes. We'd much prefer another Robin Ventura vs. Nolan Ryan melee, but we're thinking that probably won't happen in the tee box at the third hole. Still, ...
