AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: Padraig Harrington, Tiger Woods, Tour Championship | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

Yep, that’s right ladies and gentlemen. It appears that Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington have been put on the clock once again. Where? At the Tour Championship this past weekend.
Remember when the two were playing together in the third round on Saturday? That’s apparently when the clocking happened. Ahhh, those pesky PGA officials. Always looking to stir something up.

2009 FedEx Cup Playoffs: Success or Failure?

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: FedEx Cup Playoffs, Phil Mickelson, The Barclays, Tiger Woods, Tour Championship | COMMENTS: 3 Comments

Now that the FedEx Cup playoffs have come and gone, it’s time to look back and decide whether or not it was a success.
I would have to say that despite some of the negativity coming in about the format and other things of that nature, this year’s FedEx Cup would have to be considered a success. Most of the tournaments were exciting, and the only real surprise of the whole thing was Heath Slocum winning The Barclays.

Phil Mickelson is Back!

We all thought Kenny Perry would be the feel good story today if he could hold off Tiger Woods at the Tour Championship. Someone did hold off Tiger, but it wasn’t Perry. It was Phil Mickelson.
Mickelson, after being over par for the tournament after round one, finished at 9-under for the championship, three shots ahead of Tiger. I said in my predictions this week that I just hoped Phil would be in contention on Sunday, and he did me one better. He won the whole thing.
