So this time around, for the U.S. Open, I made no predictions at all. It was fun just watching things unfold. [...]

Categories: tourneys

Rory Sabbatini, voted the least favorite to play with on tour by his peers, won the Colonial — er, the Crowne Plaza Invitational — this weekend. Rory birdied the first hole and beat Jim Furyk and 49-year-old Bernard Langer. Wow, Bernard’s still getting it done, almost at age 50. So this tournament just doesn’t seem [...]

It was a touching finish with local boy (from Dallas) Scott Verplank catching Luke Donald and winning what Scott considers his “5th Major.” Verplank needed to sink a 1 and a half footer on 18 to seal the deal, and he was so nervous, he [...]
