If it's a typo, and it sure seems like it, it's been repeated in all the places they're writing about the Women's U.S. Open. Placed a call to the crack Grey Goatee Research Cult: It's not a typo. Jeongeun Lee might not be the only Jeongeun Lee in the field, but after an opening-round 67, … [Read more...]
Make my julep with Herradura
A couple career journeymen teamed to claim the title last weekend at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. It could be said Scott Piercy (four career wins) and Billy Horschel (five) are journeymen with a difference -- they've won out there. Horschel, in particular, has a big star by … [Read more...]
