Woods, Mickelson pairing at U.S. Open? Kodak golf shots worth $1 million, c
2009-06-18 18:10:00 Click here to listen.What do Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington and Angel Cabrera all have in common? Aside from major victories in 2008, all three will be grouped together during the first two rounds of the 109th U.S. Open.This was a smart pairing by tournament officials as each has a story to tell.Tiger Woods is not only the defending champion (holding off Rocco Mediate and a bum knee) but also held on to victory (and a score of par) in 2002 at Bethpage with Phil Mickelson on his tail. With fourteen majors under his belt, a fresh win at the Memorial and a great family behind him "I couldn?t be happier than where I am right now", Woods is ready to tackle Jack Nicklaus' record."It's five to pass him, four to tie him," Woods said. "I'm healthy enough where I think I can give it a go."Harrington is one of the odds favorites this year (+2500 for a payout potential of US$2500 on every US$100 bet at SBG Global.) Paddy should be as he has won the past two British Open Championships as wel...
Sergio Garcia salivates for one Masters jacket while Woods and Mickelson lo
2009-04-07 16:58:00 Click here to listen.Will Tiger Woods have any identifiable adversaries at this years Masters Tournament? Gazing into the PGA Tour crystal ball and deciding which golfers could make a move against Woods lead one to believe that Tiger is on par to win his fifth green jacket at Augusta!In all fairness, any one golfer could disrupt Tiger's equilibrium long enough to gain ground. In 2007 relative unknown Zach Johnson "just tried to maintain my focus, maintain my game plan" in order to effectively tame Tiger at the Masters.Trevor Immelman emerged victorious in 2008, leaving Tiger in a second place finish at the Masters for the second year in a row. Immelman and Johnson each had a solo PGA Tour victory prior to their Masters victories.At this year's Shell Houston Open "tune-up" to the Masters, it was interesting to see who was in top form, which player could use more work and if the winner lurked somewhere in the field.Fred Couples ate a heaping serving of Humble Pie at the SHO as cheer...
Europe's last frontier beckons
2007-08-01 12:51:00 It's been 77 years since Tommy Armour became the last European-born player to triumph in the PGA Championship. Along with Jim Barnes (1916 and 1919) and Jock Hutchinson (1920), born in England and Scotland respectively, he had acquired US citizenship some time before his name adorned the Wanamaker trophy, however.Of the three US-based major championships, the PGA is therefore the last bastion of European exclusion. Along with Ryder Cup success, the continent has produced 20 US Open champions and 11 winners of the Masters, yet no PGA champion in the tournament's 101-year history, despite 88 attempts.A European victory in Tulsa would therefore be of far greater significance than Padraig Harrington's Open Championship triumph at Carnoustie. Fittingly, in the wake of his retirement, it would rank alongside Seve Ballesteros's Masters win in 1980 - Europe's first at Augusta - as a statement of intent; announcing the re-emergence with serious credibility of European golf on the world ...
