Whoops, he did it again…but worse!
Since 1997, John Daly has shot at least one round in the 80s on the PGA Tour. Well, he took it a step further on Friday at the Valspar Championship, posting a remarkable 19-over 90 at Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course.
Daly missed a five-footer on the 18th hole to card the career-high score. (continue reading…)
Reed smacks down with game and mouth
Donning a red shirt and black pants on Sunday, Patrick Reed warmed up on the range next to Tiger Woods, who was wearing his trademark outfit — it was a curious sight, but apparently it didn’t bother the 23-year-old who has admitted to idolizing the world’s no. 1.
Reed went on to shoot an even-par 72 and complete a wire-to-wire victory to capture the Cadillac Championship at the newly-renovated Trump National Doral. At 23 years, 7 months and 4 days, he became the youngest winner of a World Golf Championship event, breaking the record Woods’ once held.
With a leaderboard heading into the final round that included Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Hunter Mahan and Jason Dufner, Reed, who had already won twice on the PGA Tour in the last seven months, was up against the toughest test of his career. But, no big deal. Just ask him. (continue reading…)
Tiger Woods rolled in a 91-footer for birdie on the difficult par-3 4th hole during the second round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
“It’s just one of those things,” he said. “I just tried to get the ball close, and I can’t remember the last time I made a putt from that far.” (continue reading…)
Hmmm…
Like many others at the newly-renovated Trump National Doral, Tiger Woods was left somewhat dumbfounded trying to conquer the difficult blustery conditions in the delayed first-round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
Woods started his morning with a walk to the 11th tee to restart play and he ended up shooting a four-over 76, his highest score at the Blue Monster (over 40 rounds). (continue reading…)
Uh oh…
The first round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship was halted at 2:22pm due to inclement weather in the area. After thunderstorms and showers hit Trump National Doral, the range re-opened just before 4pm and then golfers were back in position to restart play at 4:45pm.
At the time, Jason Dufner was leading at five-under through 10 holes, while Russell Henley, who won last week’s Honda Classic in a playoff, trailed by one. (continue reading…)
Ouch.
Fresh off the biggest victory of his career, the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, just two weeks ago, Jason Day was forced to withdraw from the WGC-Cadillac Championship on Thursday with a thumb injury. Day, the world no. 4, says his left thumb bothered him the last time he played and the discomfort continued at Doral. (continue reading…)
Tiger is feeling better.
Tiger Woods withdrew after 13 holes at PGA National during the final round of the Honda Classic last Sunday, citing lower back spasms. But, just a few days later at the newly-renovated Trump National Doral, he was smiling and seemed in good spirits in his pre-tournament press conference Wednesday afternoon.
Whether or not Woods would play this week’s WGC-Cadillac Championship was uncertain, but he will indeed make his third start of the PGA Tour season on Thursday. Here are highlights from his presser… (continue reading…)
The one thing that hasn’t changed, the 18th hole
The Blue Monster is now officially called Trump National Doral. Almost immediately after Tiger Woods finished hoisting the trophy in the winner’s circle last year, Donald Trump brought in the bulldozers and tore apart the old course.
Trump hired architect Gil Hanse to execute the renovations. A year later, the course, which plays host to this week’s WGC-Cadillac Championship, is familiar and somewhat recognizable, but it’s certainly received a nice facelift.
Here’s a list of the modifications that were completed: (continue reading…)
Hold up
Heading into the final round at PGA National, Rory McIlroy held a two-shot lead — and through seven holes, he had a three-stroke advantage over the closest competitor. McIlroy seemed destined to successfully convert a wire-to-wire victory at the Honda Classic on Sunday. He looked calm and collected for most of the front nine and appeared like he’d probably cruise to the champion’s circle for his second time in three years.
But, obviously, it didn’t turn out that way. The wheels slowly started to wobble, and McIlroy, like so many others, fell victim to the notorious Bear Trap, carding a double-bogey on the par-4 16th and a bogey on the par-3 17th. (continue reading…)
Tiger’s back!
Tiger Woods, who was struggling in the final round, withdrew from the Honda Classic on Sunday. He putted out for par on no. 13, and then gingerly got into an emergency van, accompanied by his mom Tida and his daughter Sam.
In a statement via his spokesperson, Woods cited a back injury. (continue reading…)
