Golf Highlights of the Week

Golf Highlights of the Week
  • Retief Goosen wins the Transitions Championship. Goosen is regaining the form that won him two U.S. Opens and his game is rounding into shape heading into the Masters. Goosen could be another major champ currently playing well to look for at Augusta to go along with Mickelson, Harrington, Els, and Tiger.

  • Tom Lehman had the lead for one day at the Transitions, and at the age of 50, that was a nice accomplishment. He couldn’t hold on, but it was nice to seem him playing well again.

  • Jim Furyk opened the Transitions as the leader with a first round 65, but then shot 78 in the second round to barely make the cut. This is a perfect example of golf in the way one day everything can be great, and the next day everything can be a disaster.

  • Tiger announced he will be playing in the Australian Masters in November. This will be his first trip down under since 1998, and I’m sure he will enjoy the three million dollar appearance fee he will be receiving.

  • Annika Sorenstam announced she is pregnant. There will soon be another junior golfer to compete with Tiger’s kids.

  • Lorena Ochoa opened with the lead at the Mastercard Classic. She continues to show why she is the #1 female in the world. She seems to be at the top of the leader board in every tournament she plays.
  • Tiger announced he will play at Bay Hill next week where he is the defending champ and made another ridiculous putt on the 72nd hole last year to win by one stroke. Obviously, this will make the tournament much more interesting. Check the video to catch the entire 72nd hole scene from last year

  • Countdown to the the Masters: 17 days
