If you’re a golf fan, chances are, you know who Seve Ballesteros is. He’s been a huge fan favorite for many, many years in golf, and it’s good to see him feeling a little better and being able to speak out about his battle with cancer.

Well if you caught my post a few days ago about Robert Allenby calling out Anthony Kim, you’ll know that it seemed like it was a pretty ugly feud.

Coming off of an exciting Presidents Cup that featured a ton of great players, I was thinking about the major championships for next season.

I was browsing around today, and saw this interesting little piece about Robert Allenby absoluting ripping Anthony Kim at the Presidents Cup.

It was another great weekend of golf, and it ended with the United States winning the Presidents Cup in a rout. The Americans completely dominated the singles matches today, and eventually won 19 1/2 to 14 1/2.

The first day of the Presidents Cup has come and gone, and the United States has a 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 lead over the European team.

The pairing of Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim will kick things off for the United States team, as they’ll be taking on Tim Clark and Mike Weir. Should be a very intriguing matchup there, with some long-ball hitters in that crew.

So I’m not trying to turn Pro Golf Now into the National Enquirer or anything like that, but here’s some more information from the New York Post on the recent split of Greg Norman and Chris Evert.

I was browsing the blogosphere today, and saw this post by Ryan Ballengee over at Waggle Room.

It hadn’t happened since April, which is quite unusual for Lorena Ochoa, but she finally broke through and picked up the win today at the Navistar LPGA Classic. Ochoa only had to shoot a 2-under 70 today to pick up the win, as the next closest people to her were Michelle Wie and Brittany Lang, who finished four shots back.
