Woods increased awareness, sponsor interest, and paychecks on Tour to astronomical levels, and it’s why, even now, the most self-aware players have no problem with the fact that they’ll always get questions […]

April 30, 2015 by
Ben Martin and Matt Kuchar were all square in their Day 1 match at the WGC-Cadillac Match Play Championship heading to the par-3 17th. The hole is a behemoth 243 yards, making par a great score and one that could have meant a decisive win before heading to the final hole. Martin did two better. […]

October 20, 2014 by
In Vegas, go big or go home. Ben Martin did just that to notch his first PGA Tour win on Sunday at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin. Neck and neck with Kevin Streelman and defending champion Webb Simpson, Martin made a 45-foot eagle putt at the par-5 16th to regain a […]
Mo Martin hits the shot of her life to set up an eagle on the 72nd hole to win the British Open
July 13, 2014 by
There are certain golf shots hit at major championships that don’t need explaining. Sarazen at the 1935 Masters. Jack Nicklaus’ 1-iron at Pebble Beach in ’72. Tiger’s chip on the 16th at Augusta National in 2005. Mo Martin’s second shot on the 18th at Royal Birkdale should make that list. Trailing late on Sunday at […]

Your browser does not support iframes. PINEHURST, NC – Before the U.S. Open began, the USGA predicted that Pinehurst’s wispy sands and turtleback greens would wrestle the world’s greatest golfers to the ground. Golf pundits predicted that Phil Mickelson or Rory McIlroy, or at the very least Matt Kuchar, would win the year’s second major. […]

Martin Kaymer putted his ball completely off the sixth green on Saturday at the U.S. Open
June 14, 2014 by
Your browser does not support iframes. No matter how hard Pinehurst has played, Martin Kaymer hasn’t seemed to notice. A few bogeys early in his round were probably as much nerves as the toughness of the golf course, but an eagle on the par-5 5th hole got him back to even for the day and […]
2014 U.S. Open, Round 1: Martin Kaymer isn’t fazed by Pinehurst #2
June 13, 2014 by
The story from Thursday at Pinehurst started with the clothing decision of Rickie Fowler and ended with an amazing round of golf by Martin Kaymer. Kaymer’s round didn’t look like it would turn into much, with two birdies and a bogey on his way out, but it was the back nine that saw the […]
Martin Kaymer drains one of the clutch putts of the season to win the Players Championship
May 13, 2014 by
The 17th at TPC Sawgrass is meant to be evil. Sitting out there just 130 or so yards, it’s a fairly easy shot if you get past the fact that any miss means doom. When you’re playing for the biggest check in golf, and a career achievement, the hole looks like someone is joking with […]
