I Beat Lucas Glover in a Chipping Contest
On a cold October afternoon, I drove up to New Jersey to play in an American Express cardholder event featuring two USGA champions - Morgan Pressel and reigning US Open champion Lucas Glover. After being in Boston the day prior thanks to an insane $20/each way fare from JetBlue, I was a little...

SBS Championship, Final Round - Game Thread
The season opener for the PGA Tour closes today at Kapalua with the final round of the SBS Championship. Scoring was decidedly muted in Saturday's third round as compared to the torrid pace of the opening 36 holes. Lucas Glover remains the leader of the tournament, but by just one shot. Having...
SBS Championship, Round 3 - Game Thread
Lucas Glover has maintained a three shot lead over the winners-only field at the SBS Championship at Kapalua.

Stewart Cink beating 59 year old Tom Watson to win the 138th Open Championship was really just the third consecutive time that fate has treated golf unkindly this year. David Barrett at Golf Observer makes the good point. And so major championship golf continued in its complete and utter disdain...
Lucas Glover Delivers David Letterman's Top 10 List
US Open champion Lucas Glover was on CBS' Late Show With David Letterman last night to deliver the Top 10 list. Last night's category? The very generic "Top Ten Things Lucas Glover Would Like To Say After Winning The U.S. Open." Anyway, we have the video of it and the top 10 list. I'd like to...
Write Your Own Godawful US Open Headline Puns
If you've ever read a sports news Website, the NY Post, or similar publication, you have seen some straight up awful puns as sports headlines. Golf editors must have been salivating at the plethora of puns available to them depending on the outcome of the 109th US Open. On Twitter, I solicited...
Reviewing Mike Davis' First Term at the Helm of the US Open
Mike Davis has now been in his role of primary setup man for the USGA for four US Opens.
