| | Championship Sunday sure to bring thrills at PGA |
| | There is a certain vibe that comes only on the final day of a major championship. A victor is crowned and he leaves town with his mammoth trophy and his oversized cardboard check (not really) and he does not come back to your town to defend his title, instead the event moves to somewhere else and that is where he will defend his title. And in the case of the PGA of America, that place in 2010 would be Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis., where they will again put up the ropes and begin the process all over again. |

| | PGA Championship: Tiger roars again in Round 2 |
| | A change in pre-tournament preparation appears to have helped Tiger Woods regain his edge at the PGA Championship in Chaska, Minn. Rather than taking time off to prepare, Woods kept playing and is knocking down birdies instead of knocking rust of his game. As a result, he's taken a commanding four-shot lead into the mid-point of the tournament at Hazeltine. |

| | Van Pelt's first victory could be the last in Milwaukee |
| | Bo Van Pelt captured his first PGA Tour victory by winning a playoff Sunday at the U.S. Bank Championship Sunday afternoon at Brown Deer Park. Van Pelt, who outlasted John Mallinger, might not be able to defend his title. U.S. Bank is pulling its sponsorship and without an obvious replacement the tournament is on the endangered list for 2010 and beyond. |

| | Watson lets British Open slip through his fingers |
| | Stewart Cink is a gentleman and a terrific golfer, but his victory in the 138th British Open will be remembered as the one that Tom Watson let slip away. Watson, 59, played terrific golf for 71 holes and was on the brink of authoring the sports story of the year when before faltering and losing a four-hole playoff to Cink Sunday at Turnberry in Scotland. |

| | British co-leader Watson still getting his kicks at 59 |
| | Fifty-nine is one of the magic numbers in the game of golf. In fact, it may be the most magical of all numbers associated with this great game and on Friday, in the second round of the 138th British Open at Turnberry, Tom Watson introduced the magic number of 59 to major championship golf. Watson, who owns five Claret Jugs, posted a second round score of even-par 70 to share the halfway lead with American Steve Marino atop the leader board of the 2009 British Open at 5-under par.

| | U.S. Bank Championship: Round 1 recap |
| | Facing windy conditions unusual for Brown Deer Park at this time of year, 64 players finished the first round of the U.S. Bank Championship with scores of par or better. If the wind freshens and the temps drop, that number will also be lower. Brown Deer Park is not a bomber's paradise but instead a tactical golf course that requires patience and precise shot execution. Just ask Greg Chalmers (pictured) and Jeff Klauk, who shared the first round lead.
