Lexi Thompson threw out the first pitch at a Marlins game and it was ugly
There are plenty of compliments one could give Lexi Thompson. At just 19, Thompson already has four LPGA wins including the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, her first major title, and she seems to be on a track for super-duper stardom.

David Duval said he will step away from the game if he doesn’t produce in 2014
If there is a poster boy for just how cruel golf can be, it’s David Duval. The former No. 1 player in the world went from British Open champion to basic obscurity in a span of just a couple of seasons, randomly pinging our radar like he did at the 2009 U.S. Open where he […]
