Volume Ninety-Nine

Sure, the one weekend in which I didn't watch any golf we have the Cinderella story that is Zack Johnson winning again, Lorena Ochoa continuing to dominate the LPGA Tour, Padraig winning on his home turf, and Seve making his debut on the Champions Tour. I need TiVo!

 

 

This week we have a recap of The AT&T Classic, an Irishman winning the Irish Open, and and some numbers to make your head spin.

 

 

Hole 1: Zack's March through Georgia

Zack Johnson wins on the first playoff hole at the AT&T Classic at TPC Sugarloaf on Sunday for his second win this year. [Link]

 

 

Hole 2: Ochoa Wins

Lorena Ochoa defended her title at the Sybase Classic over the weekend, her first as the top-ranked player in the world. Will this momentum carry over to her finally winning a major? [Link]

 

 

Hole 3: Luck of the Irish

Padraig Harrington is the first Irishman to win his country's championship in 25 years. [Link]

 

 

Hole 4: Busy Jack

Jack Nicklaus is still a busy man in retirement, but he's still full of opinions and always has enough time to share them. [Link]

 

 

Hole 5: Georgia Goodbye

Was showing the Paris Hilton tape meant to inspire his team? What a dope. [Link]

 

 

Hole 6: Summer Showdown

Jeff Rude thinks with Phil back to his winning ways this summer could be one of the best of the last few decades. [Link]

 

 

Hole 7: Weather Factor

The weather could be the biggest factor next month at Oakmont. I'm expecting at least a foot of rough. You might need GPS and search dogs to find errant tee shots. [Link]

 

 

Hole 8: Seve Speaks

Seve's offers up some nuggets on his golf game, the Champions Tour, and Sergio. [Link]

 

 

Hole 9: Crazy Odds

Jacqueline Gagne has had 10 holes-in-one in the last four months! The odds of that? Closer to "none" than "slim." [Link]
