Something that is really bugging the Mole is the fact that he is immune to any negative press regarding his behaviour on the course. It’s very obvious that he doesn’t care about the size of the fine the Tour gives him because at the end of the day, they need him. Therefore, he can behave in any manner he deems fit! That’s just not on...
The first competitive round of the season-ending Dubai World Championships was played on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, and Robert Allenby is the new course-record holder and leader after shooting an opening-round of 65.
Word is out that Fred Funk had his right knee completely replaced on Monday morning. The surgery was always in the pipeline as Funk has been battling the whole year with his right knee, which was left with practically no cartilage.
Michelle Wie has finally claimed her first LPGA Tour title! It was a week where everyone was looking to Shin Ji-yai and Lorena Ochoa to win the Lorena Ochoa Invitational and secure player of the year honours, but it seems that Wie had a different outcome planned for the tournament!
The world No 1 justified his $3-million appearance fee in the Australian Masters this weekend by winning for the first time on the continent. But a rather bizarre claim has the Mole wondering whether Tiger is another hapless victim of America’s self-absorbed education system.
The Mole has uncovered an interesting little story that did the rounds on CNN last week. A Danish research team has discovered that golf balls take roughly between 100 and 1000 years to decompose naturally. Now before you try to work out why or how they discovered that, consider that there are 300 million balls that “go missing” or are trashed in the US annually, and you end up with a lot of “litter”.
The rumour and speculation doing the rounds during the Australian Masters is that sponsors forked out a ridiculous $3 million to have Tiger Woods tee it up for the week. Now that he has won the event – he never looked like doing anything else all week – what’s going to happen next year?
Robert Allenby isn’t the most popular guy in the world at the moment, especially in his home country where he withdrew from the Australian Masters. And, let’s not forget the Anthony Kim debacle. The story of the “Robbie Rousers” is credited to Peter Hanlon who works for The Age in Australia and is a prime example of why you need to treat your fans with respect.
Paul Casey’s manager has said that Casey will not play in the season ending Dubai World Championship. Casey’s rib injury which put him out of action for three months of this year had become inflamed again meaning that Casey couldn’t play.
It’s weird to think that fewer than 10 years ago, David Duval was the best player in the world. He and Tiger Woods were Nike’s flagship players and both had golf balls named after them – that’s how big they were. Now Duval has missed the cut at the Children’s Miracle Network Classic, the final event of the year, and looks set to lose his card for 2010.
