Adam Scott playing No. 18 on Monday

I can barely keep my eyes open, but I haven’t been able to post and share my days and the info I’m collecting with you guys. I’ve been getting back to the house at 730-8:00pm, having a quick dinner and hitting the sack. I’m way past my bedtime right now (which has been 10:30, 11:oopm this week). (continue reading…)

Mmmm, Lytham-y.

This is my first time writing a new post via the WordPress app — I’ve edited posts plenty of times, but I was running short on time today, so let’s see how this goes… (continue reading…)

This English is from Georgia

PGA Tour rookie Harris English won a ticket to the Open Championship this summer — which also marks his first major – via the International Finals America 36-hole qualifier on Monday at Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Texas. The 22-year-old opened with a record-breaking ten-under 60 in the first round, the lowest 18-hole qualifying score since the R&A started holding qualifiers in the U.S. in 2004. (continue reading…)

Darren Clarke: is that smile starting to feel a little strained?

Darren Clarke’s performances during the post-round press conferences at this week’s Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda were fairly predictable. (continue reading…)

The Home of Golf

Since 1990 the Old Course at St. Andrews has been scheduled to host the Open Championship every fifth year, so it came as no surprise when the R&A officially announced Tuesday that it will host in 2015. And I’m already counting down the days — only something like 1,363 days to go! (continue reading…)

Despite the unpredictable weather and hassle of international travel and finding unconventional accommodations, I’ve quickly grown to love the British Open. In fact, it’s my favorite week of the year (maybe with the exception of Hawaii). It’s not the easiest to cover, but it’s the experience that makes it so special. There’s the history and tradition, along with the intrigue of links golf. Oh, and I can’t forget Pimm’s! (continue reading…)

Americans falter at the Open on Sunday

Dustin Johnson was in striking distance once again in the final round of a major championship. Playing in the last group at the British Open with eventual champion Darren Clarke, Johnson survived the daunting tee shot on the par-5 14th and safely reached the fairway. When he pulled his two-iron from the bag, he was two strokes off the lead. It was critical for Johnson to give himself an opportunity for birdie or possibly eagle. (continue reading…)

When Irish eyes are smiling...

Congrats to Darren Clarke for capturing the Claret Jug by two shots over Americans Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson.  (continue reading…)

Give me some sun, please!

Rory McIlroy didn’t have his best at Royal St. George’s. He struggled a bit in the bad weather over the weekend. While he wasn’t out of the hunt completely going into Sunday, he wasn’t in striking position. It simply wasn’t Rory’s week. He finished in a ho-hum tie for 25th. Which in the grand scheme of things really isn’t so terrible.

Amazingly, McIlroy admitted he doesn’t like playing in bad weather. (continue reading…)

Surge cut short

Sergio Garcia kicked off the final round of the Open Championship with four birdies in the first seven holes at Royal St. George’s, making an early charge that was stifled by a double-bogey on the 8th. (continue reading…)
