Remember me? I won the US Open at Bethpage Black two years ago.

Lucas Glover, who missed the last three cuts, was simply happy that he wasn’t driving home on Friday evening.

We all knew it was coming. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren confirmed on Monday that their marriage is over. The two appeared in front of a judge at Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, FL.
