Tiger posted his worst finish as a pro at the Masters last week (T40)

One promise Tiger Woods has kept since his fall from grace: He no longer waits until just before 5pm ET deadline the Friday prior to commit to tournaments. (I know, hand the guy a gold star!)

Earlier this week, the Wells Fargo Championship’s Twitter (sort of) scooped TigerWoods.com on the announcement. Well done. Tiger’s website added a few more details, along with his commitment to return to The Players Championship and reflections on Bay Hill and the Masters: (continue reading…)

Sabbo was the center of controversy at Quail Hollow

Admit it. For a moment when you looked at the Wells Fargo Championship leaderboard and saw Rory Sabbatini had charged near the top, you got a little nervous, especially since the other players in contention looked a little shaky at times coming down the stretch. You were also impressed at how well Sabbo plays while under scrutiny for disciplinary matters. (When he won the Honda Classic in March, the Tour was considering suspending him for an incident at the Northern Trust Open.) (continue reading…)

Fear the Beard!

Ed note: I didn’t intend for “A Short Game Saved My Life: the Lucas Glover Story” to turn into a novel. Forgive me, it was late when I finished. I’ve split the original post into two separate ones, but I’m also now realizing it’s rather long. My apologies, but hey, there was some pretty exciting action happening at Quail Hollow on Sunday. Go here to read the first one.

Lucas Glover overshot the 16th green at Quail Hollow and ended up in the collection area behind it. Barely a second after Glover struck his chip, a group of local fans, who may have had a few too many adult beverages, roared, “Beard Power!” His ball rolled down toward the front pin location and came to a rest four-feet from the cup. Several guys in the gallery reacted, yelling, “Go Tigers!” (continue reading…)

Beard Power!

When Lucas Glover last hoisted a trophy — a major one, no less — he was one of the game’s 20-something rising stars. Nearly two years later, his finesse around the greens and top-notch putting were instrumental to his victory Quail Hollow, outlasting best friend and former Clemson teammate Jonathan Byrd in a sudden death playoff to capture the Wells Fargo Championship. (continue reading…)

Perez Pissed

Pat Perez entered the final round one-shot behind 54-leader Jonathan Byrd, but faltered on Sunday, dropping to a tie for sixth after shooting 75. Other than kicking off the day with a birdie on the first, Perez quickly dropped down the leaderboard with consecutive bogeys and then a double-bogey on the seventh. Despite falling out of contention early on, he rallied back to give himself a shot at the title. (continue reading…)

For once, not the Tour's rules whipping boy

Padraig Harrington had a brush with disqualification on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship when a spectator claimed to have observed the Irishman playing from in front of the markers on the tee of the par-3 thirteenth. (continue reading…)

Fowler flips his hat backwards during pressers

For the second time in a month, Rickie Fowler was berated for an absolutely unforgivable crime of wearing his hat backwards. Fowler turns his hat around during interviews so people can see his face better, along with the logo to his website embroidered on the back. He’s not trying to be a trouble-making punk. In fact, he’s quite the opposite and known for being one of the most well-mannered players on the PGA Tour. (continue reading…)

Pat Perez is used to waiting in between shots on the PGA Tour

Ask Pat Perez the last time he played in the final group on a Sunday. “F—, you tell me,” said Perez during his post-round presser at the Wells Fargo Championship on Saturday evening. “I couldn’t tell you.” Was it perhaps a couple of weeks ago? “No, I was close, third to last in Hilton Head and third to last in — no, second to — what the hell was it? Second to last at San Antonio,” he replied. (continue reading…)

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. He shot a bogey-free three-under 69 in the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship to stay in contention going into Sunday. The Clemson grad drew attention to himself at the beginning of the season when he showed up for the new year sporting a heavy beard. Which makes him look more like a mountain man and nearly unrecognizable from the clean-cut pro golfer who hoisted the ’09 US Open trophy at Bethpage Black. (continue reading…)

Mickelson looking for his first win at Quail Hollow

Phil Mickelson hasn’t let several wayward tee shots get in his way at Quail Hollow. He surged up the leaderboard on Friday, firing a bogey-free six-under 66 in the second round of the Wells Fargo Championship. (continue reading…)
