Hot news, hot golf news, read it while it’s hot

July 31, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

What we learned in a weekend's worth of golf including two majors and a Web.com non-major that had the world's hottest player going low: Stephan Jaeger, a 27-year-old German, shot 58 Thursday in Hayward, Calif., and went on to blow out the field at the Ellie Mae Classic. His $106,000 paycheck jumped … [Read more...]

Lefty loosey-goosey on first day

July 15, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

6:45 p.m. Troon time; 10:45 a.m. GGMT Jason Day, plus-2. Jordan Spieth, level par. Dustin Johnson, level par. Rory McIlroy, minus-2. Phil Mickelson … not much in the conversation.  Until his bogey-free, course-record 63 Thursday at Royal Troon put his name on every tongue, and it could have been … [Read more...]

This just in: 3GA opener looms

February 18, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

The tournament they used to call the L.A. Open tees off today at Riviera Country Club. Rory McIlroy is in the field ... so is Spieth and DJ. World No. 1 Lydia Ko is 18, but she is, they say, an old soul. She's in the field for the Women's Australian Open this weekend. Those two tournaments … [Read more...]

Cold hard luck

January 12, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

“He could miss.” “Nah, he’s not gonna miss.” “He could miss.” This conversation, however apt for Sunday’s Seahawk playoff win, actually took place last June on the top row of the grandstand by the 17th green at Chambers Bay Golf Course, the back of which directly overlooked the teebox on … [Read more...]

A vision in orange

A vision in orange

The snapback cap is and always will be dorky. even on King Felix, but it's hard to call Ricky Fowler a dork after he won his second PGA Tour tournament of the year Sept. 6, at a time on the calendar when any victory counts for a lot. The kid can play, a goddamn vision in orange, and how cool … [Read more...]

The fall sport

August 31, 2015 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

This year, at this time of year, the buzz on the PGA Tour is not about the majors (so yesterday) or the Presidents Cup (so not the Ryder Cup). It's about the FedEx Cup playoffs and the $10 million prize and whether it's possible to think of derailing Jason Day, the Best Player on the Planet today if … [Read more...]

The Open, Day 2: Will it be Willett?

July 17, 2015 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

2:55 p.m. St Andrews time (6:55 a.m. PDT) He's making it look easy, Danny Willett is, and he's the easy story early in this rain-delayed second round at the Old Course. I'm wondering who he is, too. The things you learn when you check in with the crack Grey Goatee research staff (suddenly … [Read more...]

The bounces of the little dimpled ball

July 16, 2015 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

3:45 p.m. St Andrews time (7:45 a.m. PDT) He's the leader in the clubhouse at The Open Championship after an opening 65 today, and still the questions, and Dustin Johnson's answers, linger on Chambers Bay a month ago. After his round, he was asked about "scar tissue" from repeated near-misses at … [Read more...]

Tiger will/won’t win … I told you so

Tiger will/won’t win … I told you so

No matter what Tiger Woods does at the U.S. Open this week, oh yeah, we saw it coming. We said he was ba-ack after he won at Bay Hill early in the year. So when he retched at The Masters,  yeah, saw that coming. Obviously, the swing changes aren't working ... he's injured ... he's a choker ... … [Read more...]
