Golf Sun, 20 Jul 2008 11:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=300 For all the advances in technology and equipment, nobody has managed to go lower than 63 in a major championship, although it has occurred the most at the PGA Championship.

Golf Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=296 The 137th Open Championship is missing three-time champ and 14-time major winner Tiger Woods, but there are still plenty of potential winners in the field.

Let’s just let him be Anthony Kim, and see where that takes us. Still, there is an historical echo in what we are seeing out of Kim, who captured Tiger’s AT&T National this weekend for his second win of the season. Golf Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=289 The Ryder Cup picture is starting to round into focus. Captain Paul Azinger has made it clear that he wants the hottest players on his team, and even without Woods, there are plenty of those right now.

Golf Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=280 Throughout its long and storied history, the U.S. Open had never been to a truly public golf course — until recently. Now the 2008 U.S. Open returns to another public venue — Torrey Pines’ South Course in La Jolla, Calif., the first true municipal course to host an Open. Golf Tue, 10 Jun 2008 11:30:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=277 For the second consecutive week, U.S. Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger cast a long shadow over the proceedings on the PGA Tour. Last week, it was Kenny Perry. This week, Justin Leonard used Azinger’s challenge to propel him to victory at the Stanford St. Jude Championship. Golf Tue, 10 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=278 While the TPC Southwind course is not U.S. Open-tough, it provided a stiff test and yielded birdies grudgingly. Golf Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=273 A month-long flirtation with victory finally blossomed into a full-blown romance for Kenny Perry. After squandering great chances at the Players Championship and the AT&T, Perry shot a final-round 69 to record a two-shot win at the prestigious Memorial Tournament presented by Morgan Stanley. Golf Tue, 03 Jun 2008 22:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=274 The questions surrounding Tiger Woods’ return to competitive golf for the U.S. Open are swirling heading into Torrey Pines, a course he regularly lights up at the Buick Invitational. Golf Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=275 Throughout its long and storied history, the U.S. Open had never been to a truly public golf course — until recently. Sure, there have been stops at Pebble Beach and Pinehurst, a couple of places you can play if you want to fork over a mortgage payment. But never a venue where regular golfers tee it up. Golf Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=272 Trevor Immelman is the only player with a shot at a Grand Slam this season.

Garcia shot a one-under 71 to force a playoff that he would win at The Players Championship. Golf Mon, 12 May 2008 15:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=262 A common refrain coming out of the Players Championship is likely to be: “Sergio can putt now; watch out.” But before we get too carried away with Garcia’s newfound genius on the greens, it’s important to glance at this week’s stats. Golf Mon, 12 May 2008 14:00:00 -0600 http://www.fantasygolfsite.com/articles.php?art_id=263 Paul Goydos, who led by three shots with five holes to go, was the embodiment of a gracious loser on Sunday, refusing to play the what-if game or to question the golf gods for his misfortune on the extra hole.
