Ian Poulter had just hit a great tee shot to the par-3 16th at TPC Scottsdale in Friday’s second round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He had left himself 6 feet for birdie. So what does he do?

Tiger Woods’ comeback ends early, but with some positives
You didn’t really expect him to win, did you? Tiger Woods returned to action at the Quicken Loans National for his first tournament since back surgery, his first competitive play since early March.

The latest British Open odds are out, and it should surprise no one that Tiger Woods, still the World No. 1, is an 8/1 favorite. The only other player under 20/1 odds is Rory McIlroy at 12/1. Adam Scott and Justin Rose are 20/1, which seems like a decent bet, and Lee Westwood, Luke Donald, […]
Some Heat fans are not big golf historians
There are just some moments better left untouched, like the following tweet sent out by Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix on Thursday before the final game of the San Antonio Spurs-Miami Heat series.
