After a couple of off weeks in the FedEx Cup playoffs, that guy in red and black finally showed what happens when he brings his ‘A game' to the party. Does this mean another Player of the Year title for the world No 1?
The big question the Mole is asking this weekend is: Can Tiger Woods finish? After losing the PGA Championship to YE Yang, he just hasn’t been the same. He’s playing great golf, but his putter is cold, like Antarctic-winter type cold. He’s also lost his top spot on the FedEx Cup standings...
With Retief Goosen about to enter the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship tied for the lead, the Mole’s been doing some thinking and reckons that, although there’s not much competition, right now the Goose has to be the best South African golfer. Agree? Disagree?
When Colin Byrne parted ways with Retief Goosen in 2008, the Mole was left scratching his head... Why leave such a lucrative bag? Well, Colin wanted to carry the bag of someone who had a serious “burning desire” to win. And that is where the young Swede Alexander Noren comes in.
When it comes to Major golf tournaments this year, the Mole hates to say it but, it’s been a Major disappointment. The Masters was tragic, seeing Kenny Perry choke on the last. The US Open took an age because of rain delays. Tom Watson was robbed at The Open, while Tiger didn’t pitch at the final round of the PGA Championship.
In a little over a week The Presidents Cup captains will be making their wild card picks, so the Mole’s been doing some thinking and reckons that if the choice was left to him, TV ratings would soar.
If you had taken a guess as to who was going to emerge as the winner of The Barclays at Liberty National, chances are Heath Slocum would not have been anywhere on your list... He did, after all, have to beat the likes of Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington and Steve Stricker.
He's a mate of Freddie Couples, just lost out in a playoff with Tiger when the last tournament was held at Harding Park and he has been getting himself and his game back into shape. Could John Daly be Freddie Couples' surprise pick for the American team for The Presidents Cup?
