When I first saw this video, I assumed it was yet another doctored video. Nope: This one’s for real and is from the Mark Eaton Celebrity Golf Classic. The reaction by the golfer, Jason Hargett (right, not a celebrity), is priceless. I’m assuming the event had insurance for just this kind of thing. See the [...]

Weekend hot jock: Golfer Alvaro Quiros
If you’re tuned into the PGA Championship this weekend, you’ll have to pay close attention to Spaniard Alvaro Quiros. He hasn’t been in enough events to be ranked, but if he had been he’d be the No. 1 player in regards to driving distance this season. The rest of his game sucks, but it’s been [...]
Is the PGA Championship over?
Tiger Woods shared the lead 11 holes into the second round of the PGA Championship today. At the end of the round, he now stands at 7-under with a 4-shot lead. The course is long (over 7,600 yards) and Woods is hitting his tee shots about as well as he possibly could. His short game [...]
Cink a villain, Watson a choker, or both?
I’ve been surprised to see some commentators and writers talk about 2009 British Open champ Stewart Cink (right) as a “villain” because he beat Tom Watson in a playoff to win the Claret Jug. From what I saw, Cink didn’t steal the title from Watson, the latter simply handed it to the younger Cink. I [...]
Tiger Woods misses British Open cut
ABC execs must be reaching for the Pepto-Bismol after seeing Tiger Woods stink up up the course at Turnberry Scotland at the British Open and miss the cut for only the second time in a major. Any event minus the game’s best player is no-see TV. Unless 59-year-old Tom Watson (a co-leader after two rounds) [...]
Mickelson’s crazy backward shot
If you’re a golfer, you’ve no doubt had those occasional downhill shots on the edge of a bunker that just killed your score. Phil Mickelson has a way around it: The backward shot. You turn around with your back to the pin and aim AWAY from the hole, making it an uphill shot. And you [...]
Lucas Glover wins rain-drenched U.S. Open
Congratulations to Lucas Glover, who notched his second tour victory today that happened to come at the U.S. Open on one of the toughest courses around: Bethpage Black. His 4-under final score was enough to hold off Phil Mickelson (who has now finished second in the tournament more than anyone else) and David Duval, both [...]
Quick hits: Woods, Egpyt, Nadal, Stallworth
Tiger Woods is 4-over par after the first round of the U.S. Open. Egypt beats Italy in the Confederations Cup, keeping the U.S. alive in the tournament. No word yet on whether Nadal will play at Wimbledon, but if he does he will have a tough draw ahead of him with Lleyton Hewitt (right), who [...]

Quick hits: Magic, Mickelson, Stallworth
LeBron James scores 49…and the Cavs lose to the Magic. I wouldn’t want to be in the Cleveland locker room after that game. Phil Mickelson has taken a leave from golf to be with his wife, who has been diagnose with cancer. A classy move by Mickelson, but it’s another Majors season without a popular [...]
