ARDMORE, Pa. — One woman ducked under the rope and then she was followed by another. They were halted by a Merion Golf Club official and told to go back to where they belonged. The women agreed, but when they wheeled around, the looks on their faces said that, no, they probably didn’t have to […]
Padraig Harrington thinks Rory McIlroy is more Phil than Tiger
July 1, 2013 by
It has been a pretty forgettable 2013 for Rory McIlroy, the No. 2 golfer in the world. After switching gear to start the season, Rory struggled to get going, and after a second place finish at the Valero Texas Open it seemed that things would start turning for the better, but that wasn’t the case.

Your browser does not support iframes. To put it mildly, it wasn’t the best putting day for Phil Mickelson. Lefty leads the PGA Tour in birdies per round this season, but found himself on the final hole at Merion without a single circle on his scorecard. The 18th, a par-4 playing 521 yards, is not […]

Phil Mickelson explains what exactly a ‘dumb’ question is all about at Bay Hill
March 22, 2013 by
I’ll be honest, there isn’t a lot of context to where this clip came from. I’m not sure if it’s during the Golf Channel’s airing of the Arnold Palmer Invitational Pro-Am or the first round coverage (by the looks of his shirt today, this was from Wednesday), but Steve Sands caught up with Phil Mickelson […]
