Tiger Woods. Enough said. If the Mole told you that Tiger had the worst putting performance of his career on Thursday, was in danger of missing the cut and plenty of strokes off the pace (the Mole believes it was around eight), it would be logical to assume that he walked away with the title, right?
Tiger Woods shot a disappointing opening-round 71 at the Buick Open yesterday; playing in the same style that saw him get cut at the Open Championship. The OWGR number one finished 128th for putts made from inside 10 feet...
As an up-and-coming star on the women's pro tours, Lee Anne Pace is someone you want to be watching. This weekend, she's blogging for the Mole from the Women’s British Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes in Lancashire where she finished at 3 over in a tie for 25th after the first round. Here's the first of her blogs:
Retief Goosen failed to capture the rain delayed Canadian Open in Ontario on Monday. The Mole hates to say it, but he’s getting very bored of the Goose in a great position to win and not finishing... Is it really a South African thing to “choke”?
While ferocious weather lashes Glen Abbey Golf Club, the bar is doing a brisk trade – a record-breaking seven aces were posted in the rain-delayed Canadian Open, including the surprising hole-in-one by Leif Olson shown in this video.
In the wake of an extraordinary Open Championship, the Mole received a heart-broken letter from the editor of Compleat Golfer who had a few choice words for the golfing gods.
Apologies in advance to all Stewart Cink supporters, but the Mole has to say it: the ending to the 2009 Open Championship has got to be one of the biggest damp-squib finishes to a Major in a long time; unless you consider the US Open as a damp-squib finish (that was really a damp-squib tournament from the start...)
The Mole, although rooting for Tom Watson, realises that he is going to need to put in a very impressive performance on Sunday to ensure he becomes the oldest Major champion. There are some big names on his tail...
Here’s something that is as rare as rocking horse manure... the great Jack Nicklaus is watching a Major championship on television! Jack doesn’t really pay much of an interest in golf anymore, but seeing Tom Watson atop the leaderboard has put “a tear in his eye”.
