Here’s some of my favorites from day 1. Sal Johnson of Golf Observer has his observations over at the GO blog. Steve Elling of CBS has this interesting biopic of colorful Robert Karlsson, the Swede in the lead. Dave Dye of the Detroit news said gorgeous women following Anthony Kim, Sergio Garcia, and Camilo Villegas weren’t watching the golf. Jimmy...

I sound like the Drink-o-Matic machine from the Hitchhiker’s Guide series: “Share and enjoy…”
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI – The sky darkened without warning, but that happens here with alarming frequency. A drowsy, lazy-hazy day of summer – a mellow day more reminiscent of the easy-going south than the hardscrabble rust belt of Michigan, – suddenly turned into roiling darkness. In an instant, the sky turned from glorious gold and bold, bright...
Baltusrol won 2016. 2014 is still TBD, for some reason. Here’s the rest: 2009 – Hazeltine National Country Club, Chaska, MN 2010 – Whistling Straits, (Straits Course), Kohler, WI 2011 – Atlanta Athletic Club, (Lake Course), Atlanta, GA 2012 – Kiawah Island (Ocean Course), Kiawah Island, SC 2013 – Oak Hill Country Club...
Got to cybergolf for all the action.
DATELINE: THE INTERSECTION OF TELEGRAPH ROAD AND 8 MILE
There’ll be some wicked energy in Detroit this week, especially with all the musical kharma swirling about in a vortex. Anyway, my PGA Championship Preview piece is here at Cybergolf and at PGA.com.
And, we’re off…
Quick reset for the week: First, next week I’ll be in the Senate Press Gallery with a true bird’s eye view of Roger Clemens’s latest act of self-immolation. Quite simply, if he can prove his innocence in this whole steroids mess, it will be the GREATEST comeback in sports history. If he can’t, we may be witnessing the greatest fall from grace...
Part one is below this entry. See you from Augusta next year. Friday It was fitting that Woods went off early Thursday because it set the stage for him close the proceedings on Friday with fireworks. Much like a headlining rock band rightfully having the stage for themselves to end the gig and sending everyone home singing and screaming for more – a smattering...
[Author’s Note: the second half of this piece – friday, saturday, sunday – will be posted tonight. Until then, enjoy.] History already recalls the 2007 PGA Championship at Southern Hills as the hottest major championship on record. As much as this reporter has survived walking 36 holes in 100 degree temperatures in the Arizona desert...
TULSA, OK – Last night, Ernie Els said he’d have to shoot one of the rounds of his life to come from behind and overtake Tiger Woods and claim the 89th PGA Championship. After carding six birdies today, he fell just three shots short. Els had a final round 66 charging from six shots back to close the gap, but it wasn’t enough as Tiger Woods grinded...
TULSA, OK – Yeah, uh-huh! Now that’s What I’m talking about. Sure felt good picking Padraig to win the British Open!
TULSA, OK – When they shaved the bank between the green and the edge of the water hazard to bring the hazard into play, little did the powers that be realize how much havoc the hole would wreak on the field. Corey Pavin incurred a rare three-stroke penalty because of the change. Pavin his his tee shot into the greenside bunker. Before he played his shot, his...
TULSA, OK – What is it about major championships in Tulsa that brings out the heavy artillery? Hubert Green was an unlikely leader at the U.S. Open in 1977 after three rounds. The journeyman pro had won several tour events, but had yet to clinch his first major. No one knows for sure whether it was disgruntled gamblers or lawless rakehells, but shortly after he...
