South Korea's Choi, claiming the top seed by virtue of leading last year's LPGA money list, was level with her European rival until a birdie at the par-four 15th and a bogey by Matthew at the par-three 16th gave her the victory.

Meena Lee ousted fellow South Korean Shin two up, sending home the world No.2 in her opening match. Lee was the 33rd seed, the toughest possible foe to be had from Tuesday's blind draw of opponents after the top 32 were bracketed.

Choi's next opponent will be another British rival, 43rd seed Karen Stupples of England, who defeated South Korean 32nd seed Se Ri Pak two and one.

Shin and Lee halved 14 of the first 16 holes, Lee taking an edge with a birdie at the par-four fourth and Shin, who never led, squaring the match when Lee began the back nine with a bogey.

But after each woman parred five holes in a row, Lee birdied the par-four 17th and par-five 18th holes to claim victory and book a second-round date against another compatriot, 55th seed Mi Hyun Kim, who beat Korean MJ Hur three and one.

TABUENA：AIM TO PROVE HIS WORTH

The Asian Development Tour was launched in 2010 with the aim of creating a career pathway for professional golfers in Asia. Sanctioned by the Asian Tour, the Asian Development Tour will ultimately create a new playing platform for emerging stars from across Asia and around the world. Through the Asian Tour Qualifying School, players will qualify for the Asian Development Tour and enjoy the opportunity to hone their games and talent through a secondary circuit in Asia.

Designed in the same structure as the Nationwide Tour in America and European Challenge Tour, the Asian Development Tour is a stepping stone to the Asian Tour and the exciting world of international golf. The Asian Development Tour has been structured to ensure the best opportunities for its members. The leading three players on the Asian Development Tour will earn coveted Asian Tour cards for the following season, ensuring a proper career pathway for aspiring professionals.
     
At only 16 years old, Tabuena has already impressed many with his blossoming talent. After winning a silver medal at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China last year, Tabuena finished in the top-40 of the Asian Tour Qualifying School early this year while still an amateur.

He also made the halfway cut at the inaugural Indonesian Masters which boosted a stellar field that included world number one Lee Westwood of England and three-time Order of Merit winner, Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand.

The Filipino then turned professional a week prior to the SAIL Open in India and continued to impress by finishing in a commendable tied 30th place.

Tabuena is one of the new exciting talents to emerge from Asia and is expected to benefit tremendously from the Asian Development Tour, which was created last year as a platform for budding golfers to enhance their careers.

Compatriot Artemio Murakami, winner of the Iskandar Johor Open on the Asian Tour in 2008, will be looking for an improved performance after coming close to victory at the previous ADT stop, the PGM-ADT-CCM Impian Classic in Malaysia earlier this month.

The bubbly Murakami was leading by three shots at the turn during the final round but faded in his homeward run to lose out to winner Jonathan Moore of the United States.

Local prospect Hsu Chia-jen, who finished second on the Asian Development Tour’s Order of Merit last season, together with seasoned campaigners Lin Wen-tang, a five-time Asian Tour winner and Chan Yih-shin who has won once on the Asian Tour, will also be in the field at the Transcend Open vying for top honours.

The top three players on the Asian Development Tour Order of Merit at the end of the season will earn their Asian Tour cards for 2012.

This season, there will be a minimum of seven tournaments on the Asian Development Tour. Five tournaments were staged last year.

Forbes names Woods most powerful athlete

For the first time, after 20 months on the fence as Woods' cataclysmic career trajectory and personal life have morphed into the stuff of morbid curiosity, it's at last become clear that he's too beaten down, too beaten up and just plain too easy to beat.

For many of us on the fence regarding his future, it became jarringly clear last week that Woods is never going to break the decades-old records of Jack Nicklaus or Sam Snead.

By any definition of the word, Woods has pulled up, lame. Fate has wrecked what we once considered a fait accompli.

Some will find an immediate sense of satisfaction and comfort in that sentiment, in that the game's monumental marks for total victories and Grand Slam wins are safe from his pillaging. On this end, it's more akin to gradual resignation. He first lost his moral compass and reputation -- now his golf game and health are both pointed due south. What's left? It didn't sneak up on anybody, really. It's just that the preponderance of evidence hit home as Woods ponderously walked the TPC Sawgrass course last week, trailing 100 yards behind his ambulatory playing partners. How can he run when he can't even walk, or when, in each of his last two starts, he's injured himself hitting mundane golf shots?

Showing the staggering amount of money in golf, Phil Mickelson comes in at No. 35 and ahead of A-listers Jay-Z (38), Jerry Seinfeld (40), Adam Sandler (41), Brad Pitt (45) and Jennifer Lopez (50).

It seems after his WD from the Players last week, the number of people thinking Tiger will pass Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors is growing smaller and smaller. CBSsports.com's Steve Elling is the latest to go on record saying it's very unlikely Woods will pass Nicklaus, or even break Sam Snead's record of 82 PGA Tour wins.

David Toms ：Colonial good place for him

After losing in a playoff at The Players Championship, Toms isn't far from home and playing one of his favorite tournaments at the Colonial.

Toms, the Louisiana native who last won on the PGA Tour in 2006 in Hawaii, forced a playoff with K.J. Choi at The Players Championship with an impressive and rare birdie on the closing hole. Then at the famed No. 17 island hole for the playoff, Toms missed a 3 1/2-foot par putt to extend play after his 18-foot birdie chance slid just past the hole.

Toms tees off Thursday in a group with Matt Kuchar, who at No. 10 in the World Golf Ranking is the only top-10 player in the field.

"It is behind me," Toms said. "I guess the only thing that keeps coming up are when people come up to me and say I wish it would have worked out better for you. But for myself, it's just all about moving forward."

For the first time since 1968, when Byron Nelson's name became part of the title of the other PGA Tour event in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the Colonial will be played first. The Nelson tournament is next week at TPC Four Seasons, about 30 miles east of the course Ben Hogan called home that is hosting this week.

Defending Colonial champion Zach Johnson is also coming off a strong finish at The Players Championship, a closing 66 that put him in 12th place.

But last month after missing the cut at the Masters and Hilton Head, Johnson was doing some evaluation and typing notes into his phone in preparation for a meeting with his sports psychologist.

Whatever they did obviously helped since Johnson finished sixth at the Wells Fargo Championship in his only other tournament since that session.Johnson won at Hogan's Alley with a tournament-record 21-under 259 last year, when unusually calm winds throughout the week made for ideal scoring conditions. For Thursday's opening round, there is a forecast for winds around 20 mph.

Along with the plaid jacket Johnson got for winning Colonial, his name is now engraved on the Wall of Champions by the first tee.

The only player who has won consecutive Colonial titles is Hogan, a five-time champion who won back-to-back twice (1946-47 and 1952-53). The other players who have won twice are Julius Boros, Billy Casper, Ben Crenshaw, Al Geiberger, Corey Pavin, Kenny Perry, Nick Price and Lee Trevino.

"It's a humbling honor. You are talking about one of the more elite fraternities in sports, let alone in golf," Johnson said. "The tournament is always high on my list of wanting to win. It always has been. It still is. Just because I won it once doesn't mean I don't want to win it again. I've become partial to that plaid."

A nice match to the green jacket he got as the 2007 Masters champion.

Pavin and Perry join Johnson among 11 former Colonial champions playing this week.Toms has three top-five finishes his past seven tournaments since missing consecutive cuts in February. Colonial, where he has finished in the top 10 four times and was 13th last year, marks his fourth consecutive week playing.

After The Players Championship last weekend, Toms was inundated with text messages, e-mails and phone calls."A lot of positive response, especially from people that I'm close to. The ones that mean the most are the guys that I compete against out here ... they know how difficult it is," Toms said. "I had a lot of heartwarming messages, and I wouldn't say I feel like I won, but certainly it was good exposure for me as a player and as a person."

With 12 PGA Tour victories and more than $35 million in career earnings to his credit, the 44-year-old Toms doesn't have to win tournaments to prove anything. Except maybe to himself.

"I made the statement last year that it wouldn't change my life in any way to win," he said. "But it would just help me mentally to know that, No. 1, I could still do it. But also that it's worth it."

Worth the time and effort put into golf and the time spent away from home and his family.

"It's not about, hey, it's my job or that's the way I make money. I've kind of passed all of that," Toms said. "It's all about the competition and proving to myself that I could do it again."

This week, the bombers lost their merits

Zach Johnson was talking about Colonial, one of his favorite courses on the PGA TOUR, when he noted that "you can't cheat your way around this."

Then he caught himself. Last year's champion of the Crowne Plaza Invitational knew that was the wrong description, that "cheat" wasn't the appropriate word. He didn't meant to say it that way. So he rephrased."You can't get away with errant shots," he said. "It rewards quality shots. It rewards quality putting. That's what you want out of a golf course."

Of course, that's what you want out of any golf course, but like snowflakes and self-taught swings, no two are exactly alike. Each course generally has its own set of quirks, or favors certain kinds of players, or is built to produce certain kind of results.

Consider this: when Colonial hosted its first tournament in 1946, it played to 7,035 yards; this week, it will play to 7,204 yards. That's 169 yards in 65 years. Compare that to Augusta National, which was a 6,700-yard layout for its first Masters in 1934 and played to 7,445 yards last month, a difference of 745 yards in 75 years.

Colonial is no exception, but what makes this unique is that the course is a throwback to another era, when shot-making ruled and bombing off the tee was not rewarded unless you were passing the hat at some long-drive exhibition.

Winning at Colonial 65 years ago (Ben Hogan was your champ back then, his first of five wins) required precision shots and solid play with the putter. Winning at Colonial on Sunday will require the same thing.

The great ball-strikers on TOUR simply don't want to miss playing in this event. Take David Toms, who lost in last week's playoff to K.J. Choi at THE PLAYERS Championship.

Toms might have used this week to recuperate and rest. Instead, he's here, playing for the fourth consecutive week on TOUR. Colonial fits his game and gives him a better chance to win than some other courses outside his wheelhouse.

"It's one of those weeks where you want to capitalize on it when you have a golf course that's meant for your game, or built for your game where you don't have to overpower it," Toms said.

Paul Goydos was joking -- or maybe he wasn't -- that there are just three courses that suit his game. One was last week at TPC Sawgrass, where he finished third; another is this week at Colonial. (No word on the other one.)

He knows if he plays well at either TPC Sawgrass or Colonial, he will get the maximum reward. He can't say that about every course, simply because those courses reward other, bigger-hitting players.

"A big part of success is timing," Goydos said. "If my game is where it was last week at Houston, which is a lot longer golf course, I probably wouldn't finish third. I would finish seventh, eighth, 10th or 12th. I had a good game (last week) on a course that fit me well. That's part of the deal ...

"This is another golf course where I feel if my game is in good shape, and I'm making putts, I can have some success at it."

Other courses through the years have gotten bigger. Colonial, with its tight fairways and small, well-bunkered greens, remains challenging without significant changes.

Yes, it can be beaten, especially when there is no wind. Johnson won last year with a record 21-under 259 last year in unusually benign conditions.

But since 1990, the winner's average number of strokes per round is 3.29 under par. By that measure, Colonial ranks as the eighth hardest stop among FedExCup regular season events.

Josh Munn ：I wants more time as an amateur

The 20-year-old wants to win some national order-of-merit events before he contemplates the big step.

He wasn't perturbed about bequeathing the $5700 purse to runners-up, professionals Hamish Robertson and Grant Moorhead.

"I didn't mind about not getting the money," he said after winning by one shot with a 12-under-par total. "I'm happy to bring home another trophy to sit over the fireplace."

The amateurs are supposed to make up the numbers in these events.He got a brief experience of the life of a pro with a string of interviews afterwards.

Yesterday's was one of the great efforts by a Manawatu amateur, leading after all four rounds. He became only the fourth amateur to win a Charles Tour event following Nationwide Tour pro Josh Geary and New Zealand's No 1 amateur, Ben Campbell (Masterton) who won at Tauranga, and Troy Ropiha at Taranaki.

Munn set it up with his miraculous course-record 63 at a links course he'd never seen. "In that first round every putt went in. I reckon if I'd closed my eyes they would've gone in."

No one would have blamed him had he crumbled under the pressure of the fourth round.It's a hilly coastal course and Munn admitted he felt himself tiring late in the third round.

His father, Steve, drove through the night from Palmerston North to caddie for him yesterday, slept in the Muriwai Golf Club car park, and his presence helped.

But Josh was playing alongside Australasian Tour pro Robertson, also a former Manawatu member who is to be married in Queensland in August, and hardened Asian Tour player Richard Lee. Robertson nailed a five-metre putt on the 16th to share the lead with Moorhead and Munn at 12 under.

In his younger days that pressure would probably have got to him.

"I reckon I've matured a bit since then. The idea was to stay calm, even if you get a bit of bad luck.

"I knew I had the skill to do it. It was a matter of getting it done. I missed a few putts on the back nine and didn't worry about it."

When Robertson and Moorhead bogeyed the 17th, Munn strode up the 18th and won the tournament with a par after rounds of 63, 68, 71, 74.

He'd won a tight one down the stretch against Tyler Hodge in the LawnMaster Classic at Manawatu in February

Yesterday he also had to contend with rain and 40kmh winds, but Manawatu players are accustomed to breezes.

A call overnight to his coach, Andre White, also paid dividends. White told him to take it one shot at a time, "to love being scared rather than fear it might not work." White said it was a huge feat for the shy young guy.Munn said Robertson supported him too, telling him that if he didn't win, he wanted the youngster to do it.

"He was encouraging me the whole week."

In order to tornado relief，Choi has given $200,000

K.J. Choi won more than $1.7 million last week at the Players Championship.K.J. He is giving $200,000 from his win at The Players Championship to help victims of the tornados that ravaged the southeastern United States.

Choi says that while winning The Players was a defining point in his career, those affected by the tornados are going through a low point. He wants the victims to know that their troubles are not being ignored.

The South Korean won The Players in a sudden-death playoff over David Toms for his eighth career victory on the PGA Tour. He earned $1.71 million.

Choi often will give a percentage of his earnings from a PGA Tour event to a local church in the area. This time, he is giving his money to tornado victims through his K.J. Choi Foundation, which he started four years ago to help unprivileged children around the world.

Women's golf leads championships

Senior Glory Yang led the Bruins with a two-under 70 and is tied for second in the individual competition, one shot behind leader Brittany Altomare of Virginia.

No. 2-ranked UCLA shot a four-player team total of one-over par 289 in the first round of the NCAA championships Wednesday at Traditions Golf Course in Bryan, Tex., and leads the tournament by two strokes over No. 5 Virginia.

Bruins sophomore Tiffany Lua shot one-under 71 and is tied for fifth in the individual race. Sophomore Lee Lopez shot 73 and junior Stephanie Kono had a 75 to round out the UCLA scoring.

UCLA, which won the Central Regional two weeks ago, is in the NCAA championships for the 11th consecutive year and the Bruins are looking to add to the titles they won in 1991 and 2004. They have five tournament victories in 10 appearances this season.

Eddie Emerson, Chris Tickner and Kel Llewellyn were all accepted as life members

Eddie Emerson, Chris Tickner and Kel Llewellyn were all accepted as life members having been nominated by their peers during the year.

There is no greater peer accolade than to be nominated for life membership and three PGA members have had their services to the game recognised at this week's Annual General Meeting.

Kel Llewellyn probably has a higher profile in Asia than Australia but his contribution to the game cannot be questioned.

Emerson is one of Sydney's best known golf figures and first joined the PGA in 1959. He works tirelessly in the junior development area and runs regular "bush to city" golf camps.

A highly respected coach, Kel works with high profile tour players Liang Wenchong and Daniel Chopra, among others, and at 71 is still travelling the world teaching the game.

Tickner was a successful touring player for several years before serving 12 years as Chairman of the NSW/ACT Division. He also served 15 years as a board member.

Congratulations to all three sincerely.

News of Forbes on top 100 celebrities from sports

Among those from the sports world who were ranked in 2010 but fell off the most recent Forbes celebrity list were Michael Jordan (20th in 2010), Floyd Mayweather (31st), Shaquille O’Neal (52nd), Manny Pacquiao (55th) and Lance Armstrong (65th).

Forbes listed James’ earnings at $48 million, up $5 million from the previous year, and ranked him No. 2 behind only Winfrey in terms of media visibility. Forbes said its formula includes pretax income for the year ending May 1, media visibility and social media power through Facebook and Twitter.

Other sports figures on the list: David Beckham and Phil Mickelson (tied at No. 35), Cristiano Ronaldo (No. 43), Rafael Nadal (No. 46), Tom Brady (No. 55), Dwight Howard (No. 59), Lionel Messi (No. 62), Peyton Manning (No. 72), Maria Sharapova (No. 80), Serena Williams (No. 84), Venus Williams (No. 86) and Danica Patrick (No. 96).

Woods will fall out of the top 10 in golf’s world ranking next week, the first time he’ll be 11th or lower since 1997. His last tournament win was at the 2009 Australian Masters.

Woods was No. 5 on Forbes’ list in 2010, when the magazine estimated his annual earnings at $105 million—$30 million less than what it figured him to make over the most recent 12-month period. Even after taking major endorsement hits following the scandal that ended his marriage, Woods still made $22 million more than Bryant in the past year, Forbes said.

Tennis star Roger Federer was 25th on the list, placing him fourth among athletes.The Heat had two of the top 100, with Dwyane Wade (No. 57) joining James. And the New York Yankees also had two mentions, with Alex Rodriguez at No. 49 and Derek Jeter at No. 69, tying him with actress Julia Roberts.Combined, Forbes said the 19 athletes on the list this year earned a combined $647 million.

Heat try to shrug off loss

It’s no surprise that Gibson got, oh, a few messages after his eyebrow-raising dunk on Wade in Game 1, one of two slams that had people buzzing about the young forward afterward. How many? “Too many,” Gibson said. “I turned my phone off. I just wanted to move on.”

James and Wade came in on a surge, only to have the plug pulled against one of the league’s stingiest defenses.

Coming off back-to-back games with 35 and 33 points against Boston in the semifinals, James scored just 15 in the opener while hitting 5 of 15 shots. He couldn’t shake Luol Deng(notes) or active big men like Taj Gibson(notes) and Joakim Noah(notes) helping out.

He saw too many fastbreaks in the early going, some sloppy ball handling. League MVP Derrick Rose(notes) committed three of his four turnovers in the opening minutes but had none in the second half, and in many ways, it was a textbook performance by a team that held opponents to a league-low 43-percent shooting.

“I think we’ve got to play better,” said Deng, who scored 21 points. “I really do. We played really well. If you look at the final score, we won by a lot, but it really wasn’t that kind of game. It really wasn’t. It was tied at the half. They had the lead at some point in the third quarter. So there’s a lot of things we’ve got to get better at.”

Sure, Miami hit just over 47 percent of its shots, but other than Bosh (12 of 18), no one else really stepped up and Miami often looked out of sync.

There was too much isolation, not enough ball movement, patience. Then again, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau pointed out Miami’s ball movement often comes out of isolation.

“Miami’s been a good ball-movement team all year,” he said. “They have players that when the ball comes back to them, they can go one-on-one. That’s what makes them so dangerous and tough to guard. Sometimes, your best ball movement comes off isolation because you have to commit two defenders to the player, and once the ball moves, now you’re getting wide open shots or easier shots.”

James said: “You got be patient. It’s harder to attack on the front side of their defense because they load on the strong side. You’ve got to be able to get the ball from one side to another and then attack their defense. They got a lot of length and athleticism.”

Miami could go with a bigger rotation and activate Zydrunas Ilgauskas(notes) and Erick Dampier(notes), but they would be sacrificing athleticism.

“It’s not about bigger bodies, it’s about wanting the ball,” Bosh said. “Collectively, as a team, we have to do good job of keeping bodies on those bigs. Containing the screen and roll with D-Rose and just going our job like we know we are capable of. We’ve done it all season, we just have to capitalize tomorrow.”

No team outrebounded opponents by a wider margin than the Bulls at 5.74 per game. They owned the Heat on the boards during the regular season and did it again in Game 1, to a 45-33 tune. They grabbed 19 offensive rebounds to just six for the Heat and outscored them 31-8 on second-chance points.

Water hazards：Rule the course

Consider the 13th hole at the Regency Hyatt Coolum. With the lateral water hazard starting 50m in front of the tee and running almost the length of the fairway, the line from the tee is pretty much straight over the water. The left side of the hazard is tree lined and any ball that starts slightly left tends to catch the trees and find its way into the water. Taking a two club length drop into the trees is of no real help and so most players choose to drop back behind the hazard. This can make their third shot more difficult in that the ground conditions can provide an average lie and the water to the right of the green can also come into play.

The Rules allow the player, under the fifth option, to work out the point on the opposite margin (fairway side) that is equidistant from the hole and drop a ball within two club lengths. Not only is the lie likely to be better over on the fairway side but the line to the hole is also a touch friendlier.

So, the recommendation in situations like this is to check all of your options before putting a ball into play. The opposite margin option may help eliminate obstacles between you and the hole such as trees or bushes or may simply give you a better line to the pin.

Rules Officials are out there to assist you where possible and so if you are in any doubt as to how to proceed under the Rules ask us to talk you through your options.

Hitting your ball into a water hazard may not actually be as costly to your final score as the decision that you subsequently make on how to deal with the situation.

Tour Officials are often left scratching their heads trying to understand why a player chose a specific option when taking relief from a water hazard, or more specifically a lateral water hazard. The Rules don’t allow us to recommend to a player what we believe may be their best option as this would be classed as providing them with advice. We can however talk them through all of the options available to them and, in doing this the player is often pleasantly surprised by where the Rules allow them to take a drop.

At other times the player may be aware of where they are entitled to drop but may not have a complete understanding of what they can and can’t do as a result of where their ball comes to rest.

In terms of relief options, water hazards (yellow stakes and paint lines) are relatively straight forward as you only have three alternatives to choose from.

If adopting the third of these options, be mindful of the fact that you can drop the ball as far behind the hazard as you like, as long as you remain on an extension of the line explained above. Providing the dropped ball does not roll more than two club lengths or come to rest at a point closer to the hole than the point where it last crossed the margin of the hazard, it is in play. The fact that it has finished nearer the hole than the point where it first struck the ground does not mean that you have to re-drop it.

Should the dropped ball roll back towards the hazard line to the degree that when you take your stance your foot is touching the line or becomes submerged in the water, this does not entitle you to a re-drop. Unlike immovable obstructions or ground under repair, the Rules applying to water hazards (Rule 26) do not require you to take full relief for stance as well as lie. As long as the ball remains outside the margin of the hazard it is in play and the player must take their stance accordingly.

the reasons take to win the U.S. Open at Congressional

The new 10th hole on the Blue Course at Congressional Country Club is on the site of the old 18th hole, changed during the redesign for the 2011 U.S. Open.

INSIDER'S TAKE: "Ernie's right - accuracy off the tee is key," Lyberger says. "Congressional's finishing hole sets up for a long, right-to- left tee shot through a narrow opening of trees. Anything right could find a thick grove of cedars. Bunkers right of the green and water on three sides make the second shot a test of courage. This is the longest of the course's par 4s and should create a dramatic finish."

No. 10: 218-yard par-3
ERNIE's TAKE: "The 10th hole is a new hole; it's on the site of the old 18th hole. Pins in the front of the green will make the water a factor. As at all U.S. Opens, the hole locations will go a long way in determining how tough Congressional plays."
INSIDER'S TAKE: "The largest lake on the course fronts the green, with two bunkers behind and one to the right," says John Lyberger, the club's director of golf. "The slope in front of the green guarantees that shots coming up short will get wet."

No. 18: 523-yard par-4
ERNIE's TAKE: "No. 18 this year was the 17th [in 1997]. That will be some, some hole. It might decide the winner. The green is right into the water, and the water comes around on the left and behind the green. You have to find the fairway. If you don't, you're gonna have trouble hitting your second shot onto the green. In 1997, I was one of the few guys to hit the green in two and two-putt for par. The other guys missed the green and made bogeys and doubles."

No. 6: 555-yard par-5
ERNIE's TAKE: "In 1997, the sixth played as a long par 4 for us, so the USGA is giving us a break this year! We'll be hitting our second shots with long irons and woods into a small green with water short and right. That water will make for some nervous approach shots."
INSIDER'S TAKE: "This par 5 is reachable if the USGA move the tees up," says Trevor Randolph, a plus-2 handicap and Congressional's reigning club champion. "But the goal is to find the short grass off the tee, even if that means keeping driver in the bag. It's a feast-or-famine hole. Split the fairway and you have a great chance at birdie. But a drive in the rough is a likely bogey."

NCAA needs to step up enforcement

Tressel has already been punished by the school with a five-game suspension and $250,000 fine for not disclosing

information about NCAA violations by some of his players. He and Ohio State could face stiffer penalties when the

NCAA completes its investigation.

Ohio State’s scandal is one of several in college football that have made headlines and cast a gloomy shadow on

collegiate sports over the past year—and made the NCAA a target for criticism.

Carr gave a blunt assessment of college sports’ governing body.He said it’s up to the NCAA to curtail the rule

breaking.

Mark Emmert, who took over as NCAA president last year, has talked tough in recent months about ramping up

enforcement and putting more bite in sanctions. He said he wants schools that violate the rules to pay penalties

punitive enough to make coaches and others think twice about cheating.

Carr said the NCAA’s reliance on its members to report their own violations puts the organization in a tight spot

because there’s “ample evidence, down through the years that some people are not self-reporting.”

“If you’re going to have a system, that the public, the fans, respect and buy into, than you better have a way of

making sure that those people who are violating the rules don’t prosper,” he said. “You got to invest the money

to have investigators and whatever else you need to do—or they need to deregulate.”

Carr recalled speaking with late NCAA president Myles Brand about enforcement, and Brand saying, “‘I don’t have

the authority to do a lot of these things that people want done.’

“Well, the question is, who does?” Carr said.

Last year, Michigan was hit with NCAA sanctions for violations of practice-time limits under then-coach Rich

Rodriguez, who took over in Ann Arbor after Carr retired following the 2007 season.

It was the first time the Wolverines’ football program had been cited by the NCAA for breaking rules.

Asked whether Rodriguez had tarnished the integrity of Michigan football, Carr said, “I can’t answer that.”He

added, “I think it was a disappointment for everybody.”

In addition to the NCAA problems for Michigan and Ohio State, the football programs at North Carolina, Auburn,

Oregon and Tennessee are also under scrutiny for possible violations.

Tressel is going to pay for his defense lawyers

The NCAA has charged that Tressel “failed to (comport) himself in accordance with … honesty and integrity.” Tressel violated NCAA bylaws—and his own contract’s stipulations—which require that he immediately report all knowledge of any NCAA violations to his superiors, the NCAA or the university’s compliance department.

Marsh, a member of the NCAA’s infractions committee for nine years and chairman for two, is an Ohio State graduate. He has said he never attended a Buckeyes football game during his years as a student.

Tressel traded 12 emails with a former Ohio State walk-on player, now a lawyer, starting in April 2010. Tressel was told that Buckeyes players were trading autographs, uniforms and championship rings for money and tattoos from local tattoo-parlor owner Edward Rife. Rife was the subject of a federal drug trafficking case.

Tressel, Smith and Ohio State issued a five-game suspension to Pryor and four other players and a one-game suspension to sixth. Throughout Ohio State’s investigation of the players’ case in December, Tressel never revealed that he knew anything about it.

The Buckeyes were ranked No. 1 at one point during the 2010 season and finished with a 12-1 mark. In early December, the U.S. Attorney’s office notified Ohio State that it had raided Rife’s home and had come upon dozens of Ohio State items, some autographed. A subsequent investigation revealed that six prominent players—including Pryor—had benefited from the relationship with Rife. The U.S. Attorney’s office pegged the value at $12,000 to $15,000.

He had also signed an NCAA compliance form in September swearing that he did not know of any violations.With Ohio State and the Big Ten asking for leniency, the NCAA permitted the players to play in the Sugar Bowl where the Buckeyes defeated Arkansas, 31-26.

Shortly after the team returned from New Orleans, Ohio State officials began building an appeal for the players. It was while going through staff emails that they discovered Tressel had known he was using potentially ineligible players throughout the 2010 season.

In early March, Ohio State self-reported Tressel’s violations and handed Tressel a two-game suspension (later raised to five games) along with a $250,000 fine. He was also compelled to make a public apology and attend an NCAA compliance seminar. Smith later told The Associated Press that he had had to meet with Tressel before the coach finally issued the apology. Smith also said that the $250,000 fine would not cover the cost of the investigation of the coaches’ violations.

Tressel is attending the NCAA compliance seminar in Tampa, Fla., in June.
His five-game suspension permits him to practice every day with the team throughout the spring, during August workouts and the entire season. The only time he cannot be with the team is during games. Smith has confirmed that the five-game suspension actually amounts to only a 15-hour suspension—the time during which the Buckeyes are playing games.

Chuck Smrt, a former member of the NCAA’s enforcement staff, will handle Ohio State’s side of the case in August.

An interview on Zach Johnson

Q. The grasses are kind of similar.

ZACH JOHNSON: Well, I grew up on anything but Bermuda. I have poa annua, rye, Kentucky blue and bent, so I don't know. The greens here are bentgrass, that part, anybody can putt on bent in my opinion. Especially bent like this. What you see is what you get. If it's right lip, it's right lip. It's not 2 balls out with the grain. It's right lip. I love it. That's what I grew up on. I grew up on pure bentgrass greens that were very true.

Q. As special as it was to slip on the plaid jacket last year when you won, talk about seeing your name on the wall, how's will it going to feel to be able to tee off and see your name on the wall with all of those other greats?

ZACH JOHNSON: I'm kind of hoping I tee off on 10 on Thursday. I don't want to get caught up in it. It's cool. It's a complete honor. It's a humbling honor. You are talking about one or more elite fraternities in sports, let alone in golf.

I think it starts with tradition, the history that Colonial Country Club has instilled and the guys that have walked these fairways in previous years. Specifically Mr. Hogan, and what he is known for around here. So just to be a small part of that, it's very special. I've always liked this tournament. I always thought it was an honor to play in this tournament. But let alone to win it is completely it's just awesome. It's terrific.

This tournament is always high on my list of wanting to win. It always has been. It still is. Just because I won it once doesn't mean I don't want to win it again.

I've become partial to that plaid. It's the people here too. That's what makes these places special. It's the club, and the members here, and what the members are trying to do for the area, too. Fortunately Crowne Plaza, Colonial Country Club, they get it. They are showcasing a pretty awesome event on a phenomenal facility.

But yet, more importantly, they are helping a lot of people in need. I'm kind of getting philosophical right now. It's true. That's what the PGA TOUR is about and that's what this tournament is about.

Q. If anything, what does that say to you about those 3?

ZACH JOHNSON: It don't surprise me in the least. Not even remotely surprises me. I know we are seeing a lot of these young guns and this influx of 20's talent rise. For good reason, they are good. They are really good. They are deep. They are talented. They are groomed before they even step on the first tee in the first event. It doesn't surprise me.

Our veteran play out here is tremendous. It's deep, too. The 40 plus year olds are still hungry, still wanting to win. You are going to see that a lot more.

Obviously Phil has won this year. Was there anybody in their 40's that have won? I'm assuming there has been. Well, it's irrelevant. Last week, K.J. It doesn't surprise me K.J., David Toms who are two of the better players that have played in the last decade, 15 years even. I think you are going to see a lot more of that. That's a cool story because you are going to see the 20's go up against the 40's. I'm somewhere in the middle there which is fine. I think it's great for the sport. That's the beauty of golf.

You are also looking at certain golf courses, too. Sawgrass is one, the more you play it, the better off, the more experience you have on that golf course, the better it is, the easier it becomes for you because you know where not to go and where to go.

So I think the young guys will learn.

It's not a bomber's paradise there either. You got to work your ball. Someone made the comment there, I think it makes a lot of sense. It seems like for every tee shot, obviously there is one pending, for the most part, every tee shot, you have to fade it off the tree and draw it into the green. You got to draw it off the tee and fade it into the greens. It's got everything. It requires every aspect of your game to be on and that's why I think the champion that comes on top is more than deserving. K.J. and David, he golfed his ball tremendous.

Q. Zach, it seem like a lot of the great three hole stretches on TOUR come late in the round. This one obviously comes very early. Is it a matter of you can't ease your way into the round like it catches your attention right away this horseshoe?

ZACH JOHNSON: 3, 4 and 5 are phenomenal holes. They are holes that you really have to just step up and hit quality shots. I don't feel like the other holes out here are much different.

The tee shot on 3, you get it in the fairway it becomes a lot easier hole. 4 is just a long par 3. Solid shot, you are going to make a par. Five tee shot and second shot. 5 is the hole for me. It's just a good solid hole. You got to hit a fade off the tee and the fairway slopes right to left. There is junk right, and you don't want to miss it left. The rough is not that bad this year. You don't want to be in the rough.

Your second shot is no bargain there either. For the most part every hole, you still got to pay attention. Once you think you get through that, 6, 7, 8 and 9 can bite you just as quick. Those three holes are brutal as far as what it requires.

But the other ones you can't fall asleep. It's not like you are just going to ease into them. You still got to put the ball in the fairway and put the ball on the green and that's what makes this place great.

Q. Kind of expand when you say reevaluated, what does it mean you did, and what do you think you did that's making the results show up now?

ZACH JOHNSON: Well, I didn't necessarily expect the results to show up quite that quick. I sat down with Dr. Morris Pickens, my sports phycologist, and one night I was just sitting there and just typed a bunch of notes on my phone to I knew I had a meeting with him the next day. I just, you know, the way I'm thinking, the way I'm relating to my caddy, the way I'm practicing. All sorts of things. From one end of the spectrum to another. We just hashed it all on paper and tried to condense it. And tried to test three or four key things to think about to focus on. I will revaluate after this week as well. It's an ongoing process.

Q. But it's more mental than physical?

ZACH JOHNSON: Yes. It would be more mental that physical, for sure. Physically I'm better now than I was last year, I think. I've implemented a new part to my team. Everything is going the right direction.

Q. Hey, Zach, when you kind of look at the history of the tournaments in Texas it seems like the midwest guys have a pretty good track record. Is there something about growing up in the midwest where Texas courses kind of suit their games?

ZACH JOHNSON: That's a good question. I guess I didn't realize it was that apparent. You know, the midwest, I guess you'd say even prairie area of the states. There is a lot of wind. I grew up in wind. I don't dislike the wind at all.

I think if anything my game is suited to it just because when it comes to wind and trajectory control it becomes a necessity.

And trajectory control, the fairways become more of a premium. The greens and the fairways dry out so it becomes faster and I like that. I don't know. Last year there was no wind here. That totally completely defeats what I just said. I don't know what it is. I can't answer that. Maybe we just like the central time zone.

Q. This is a course that seems perfectly suited for your game. Where does this rank on TOUR in terms of all of the courses that seem perfect for your game?

ZACH JOHNSON: It's up there. It's way up there. If there is a minimal rain and the fairways are dry, the greens are always somewhat receptive because they are bentgrass and so far south. It's way up there.

I think you can argue it's one, if not the best course on TOUR. I was playing with some guys yesterday who hit it a lot further than I do, and they were saying the same thing. You can't cheat your way around this. That's not the right word. You can't get away with errant shots. It rewards quality shots. It rewards quality putting. That's what you want out of a golf course. Typically it's windy. Last year was an anomaly I think. So there is always that element. The cream rises to the top here. You hit it good and you putt it good, it will show on Sunday. You may not win, but you will be up there. You will have a chance and that's the way it should be. This course withstood the test of time. It's the old cliche, why can't they make them like they used to?

French players dcelebrateder Cup Decision

France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands delivered bids, but Le Golf National on the outskirts of Versailles near Paris, the well-established home of the Alstom Open de France, will become only the second Continental venue – following Club de Golf, Valderrama, in Spain in 1997 - when the 42nd edition of The Ryder Cup between Europe and the United States is contested in the autumn of 2018.

Virginie Lagoutte-Clement, a three-time tournament winner on the LET who has a chance to make her Solheim Cup debut at Killeen Castle in Ireland this September, commented, via translation: “I think it is important for France. It will be super: like the Evian Masters, The Ryder Cup will be great for the country and for us. I think that the course is super for a tournament like that as it already hosts the Open de France and for several years I have hoped that the Open de France Feminin would be at Le Golf National. It is designed for following. Spectators can view easily because all the holes are like stadia. All the holes are designed for having a grand competition. It will be a super experience and it will encourage the democratisation of golf.”

Anne-Lise Caudal was also pleased to hear the news and celebrated with a high-five with her compatriots.

“I know how important it is for the country to host The Ryder Cup,” said Nocera, who has played in The Solheim Cup, the women’s equivalent of The Ryder Cup, three times from 2005-2009.

“My personal view of it is that if we get The Ryder Cup then we might get The Solheim Cup. Hopefully some French guys will be in the team and some really good young guys are coming up. It will be fun.”

Caroline Afonso, who won the 2010 order of merit on the LET Access Series, the official feeder tour to the LET, added: “I think Le Golf National is a great place and they play the Open there. There are a lot of hotels nearby and it will be very nice. Le Golf National is very nice: good greens and very challenging.”

Truth and Rumors About Sergio

Garcia, who hasn't won a PGA Tour event in three years and failed to make the 2010 European Ryder Cup team, must make it into the top 50 in the world rankings by June 13th or be in the top 10 on the PGA Tour money list by May 23rd if he wants to avoid playing in a 36-hole U.S. Open qualifier. According to the Spaniard, slogging through one of the toughest tests in golf in an attempt to earn a spot at Congressional is unlikely.

"I don't think so," he said. "If I don't qualify [through the rankings], then I don't deserve to play," he said. "I don't care about records and things like that. I worry about enjoying it and doing what I love and doing the best I can. I'm not going to look back when I'm 55 and say I should have tried to play 100 million in a row instead of 99."

Another issue for Garcia is that he currently is not exempt for this year's British Open at Royal St. George's either. However he has indicated that he will play in a British Open qualifier on May 23rd in Texas.

Note: Sean O'Hair, who finished 12th at the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, is also not exempt for Congressional - the USGA recently changed the exemption from top 15 to top 10 finishers from the previous year.

Rory Sabbatini and Sean O'Hair apologize and move on
While replacing his swing coach and caddie are surely stressful for Sean O'Hair, at least the tension between he and fiery Rory Sabbatini seems to be over. According to O'Hair, he and Sabbatini had a phone conversation shortly after their heated on-course argument at The Zurich Classic of New Orleans and straightened things out.

After putting an end to a three-year winless drought at The Iberdrola Open in Mallorca last weekend, Northern Irishman Darren Clarke is setting his sights on the next Ryder Cup.

Though Clarke has not played in a Ryder Cup since The K Club in '06 (which Europe won), his big win over up-and-coming Englishman Chris Wood apparently has him brimming with confidence.

An interview on Tom Lehman

LAURY LIVSEY: Let's take some questions.

Q. You don't tinker with your clubs?

TOM LEHMAN: I don't tinker with my swing. I've been working on the same things with my swing since I was college. It really hasn't changed at all. And I think my swing as a result, if you look at my swing when I was 20, versus 30, versus 40, versus 50, it looks nearly identical. Very, very, minor changes.

Q. Tom, a few weeks ago Webb Simpson lost a stroke in the New Orleans Classic, and he showed a lot of class. Integrity is a big part of the game. He showed a lot of respect for integrity of the game. Why is it important for young guys like him, for a guy that's been through it, and wants to see guys respect that integrity, how are you encouraged to see a guy like Webb and other guys respect the game and the integrity of the rules of the game?

TOM LEHMAN: Two comments. First of all, the integrity, to me, that's what separates golf from other sports. Other sports they're not required to call penalties on themselves. In golf, you aren't either. But it's been part of the tradition of the game to, when you break a rule, and nobody has seen it, that you need to be man enough to do that.. When you see Webb do that, and I think it was Brian Davis, a couple of years ago at Hilton Head when his club touched the grass. Calling penalties on yourself, when you're in such a position where it could cost him a tournament just shows the class of the individual, the integrity, the character. And also the beauty of golf.

Now with that said, that rule, where the wind blows your ball, is a terrible rule. I felt like watching Padraig Harrington get penalized at Augusta a few years ago when the wind gusted and blew his ball after he already backed away. It's time to change that rule, when it's obviously to everyone that the wind is the cause of the ball moving, you shouldn't penalize the player.

So I just feel like that rule needs to go. It needs to be amended. When it can be proven obviously by video replay, or whatever, that the wind has caused the ball to move, the player is not penalized. Webb paid the penalty. But you know what, I think in the end, when you do that, what goes around, comes around. He will be rewarded in some way. Something is going to happen throughout the course of his career, where you're going to say that was a turning point, playing by the rules and making the right decision and it's benefited me for the rest of my life.

Q. Was their decision to go to TCU based on your love for Fort Worth?

TOM LEHMAN: I think they wanted to get away from home. I think they like the Texas mentality, the independent spirit. They wanted to go to a school with a great football program. They certainly have that here.

And to a school that's big enough, yet small enough, where they cannot be overwhelmed, and not small enough where it feels like high school. It's a great size campus. It's pretty. They have everything they want. They looked at going other places. There was always something missing. They seemed to look at this school and this was everything they were looking for and I couldn't be happier with their choice.

Q. Tom, can you talk about your ball striking this year? Your green and reg numbers are phenomenal on both tours. Anything you changed or has it just been a great year for you so far?

TOM LEHMAN: You know, I haven't changed a thing. I haven't really changed anything in my swing since I was about 18. I think that's part of the reason why I'm playing well, consistently well is that my swing is really kind of simple and it's repetitive. I'm not trying to hit heroic shots. I'm just trying to play to my strengths, which means to me, when a pin isn't very accessible from my draw, I don't try to force it in there. I'm happy with a par and move on. I haven't really felt like I've changed my game at all. Maybe a little smarter as I get older.

Q. Did you go to the Rose Bowl?

TOM LEHMAN: Yes.

Q. A little unique this week, you've got two daughters that attend TCU, they are in school right now, is that correct?

TOM LEHMAN: Yes, they are in summer school. They finished a couple of weeks ago. They love it here. We've always loved it here starting in '92 when I first start coming here to play, I just kind of fell in love with Fort Worth, with the community, with the folks that live here, the whole attitude of the town. They really enjoy it. They've threatened that they are never going to come back to Arizona, and I kind of believe them. They are pretty much hooked.

Q. Would you like to see fewer bomb and gouge courses on the regular TOUR in more places like this that test other aspects of the game?

TOM LEHMAN: Well, yes, I certainly feel like we have whole bunch of great golf courses that are not being used, or get bypassed by the bombers; courses like Hilton Head, Harbortown, like this place here. They are great old golf courses.

You see a lot of the guys, the big bombers skipping them, which is too bad. So personally I feel there needs to be a blend. I think you need to play all style of courses.

On the schedule there ought to be a real balance of courses where you have to hit it straight. Courses where you have to really, really putt well. Courses that are driving courses. Courses that are second shot courses. Courses where it pays to be long and straight. Courses where it doesn't. But golf, in general terms, it always benefits you to hit it long. It rarely benefits you to hit it long and crooked. So the courses that punish the long and crooked, is something that most players who aren't real long are in favor of.

Q. When you switched or when you did the belly putter the first time was it a tough decision for you at the time?

TOM LEHMAN: No, it was easy because I couldn't make a 3 footer. I learned a big lesson with putting. I've never messed with my swing. But I decided at one point to start messing with my putting.

With the strengths of my putting throughout my career, I was a really good lag putter, and always very, very good inside of five feet.

The effort to improve my putting, making more 15 footers and 20 footers, and things like that, making changes to my stroke, I end up losing my stroke completely. So I couldn't make it inside of five feet.

So I went to the long putter, and I decided I could never be great with the long putter. So I figured I would have to find a way to putt well with the short putter again. So that's what I've been doing the last four or five years. I found a putting aid that I think really helps me, and works for me, and just trying to find that repetitive stroke again. I feel like my putting is bit by bit by bit improving every month.

Getting back to that, that's always the real catch 22 to trying to get better. One of my mottos of my golf swing has always been, don't ever takeaway your strength. With my coach, Jim Flick, do not ever take me in a direction where my strength becomes a weakness.

If I hit the wall right to left, I need to always hit it right to left, and if I ever lose that, we are both sunk. He has been smart enough to always take me down the road where I can improve my draw but not change it. To do that with putting, it went against my own code, so to speak, and I paid a penalty for five or six years there.

Kaymer rifts with caddie

Connelly flew with Kaymer from Florida to Spain on Sunday night, but it will be the golfer’s brother Philip who will be carrying his bag in the Volvo World Matchplay Championship which starts on Thursday.

A full-time replacement could be in place for next week’s BMW PGA Championship and, after the year Kaymer has had, there will be no shortage of people willing to step into the Scot’s shoes.

“For me, it was just time to change and move on,” said the 26-year-old German. “We’ve talked about it a few times already, but on Sunday we had a little chat and just decided to go our separate ways.”

Kaymer lifted the first major title of his career at the US PGA Championship last August, won his next two tournaments as well – three if you include the Ryder Cup – and in November topped the European Tour with nearly ￡3.9m.

Kaymer added: “Obviously, Craig and I had a fantastic year together – he’s a very good caddie – but I just felt like I needed a change. It has nothing to do with Craig; he’s a fantastic guy and he’s been a good caddie for me. I haven’t had any calls yet [from other caddies] but obviously now some people will know.”

In February he took over from Lee Westwood as world No.1 by reaching the final of the WGC-Accenture Match Play in Arizona, but he then missed the cut in the Masters for the fourth successive year and has since slipped to third in the rankings behind Westwood and Luke Donald.

Kevin Conlong： the 2010 PGA Trainee in this Year.

Highlights of 2010 for Kevin included a third in the 2010 Futures Championship and a second in the Southern Trainee Championship.

However, playing is only one aspect of the traineeship and Kevin balanced his consistent playing performance with both academic studies and workplace performance.Kevin is a much deserving winner of the award after outstanding playing and academic performances during the three year traineeship program saw him finish as the highest performing third year trainee in 2010.

“Throughout his three years in the program he maintained consistently high standards both academically and on course, being at or near the top both in assignment grades and in his scoring average.”

“Kevin was a model PGA trainee professional. He was able to successfully combine the demands of the traineeship to perform well in the workplace, in assessments and on the golf-course,” said Geoff Stewart PGA Training Coordinator.

The PGA Traineeship is a rigorous three year program which prepares students in a number of areas relevant to being a PGA Member; from playing at an elite level, coaching techniques to running a business.

“The PGA traineeship is designed to provide a broad range of skills in order to prepare PGA members for a variety of roles in the golf industry. Kevin will make a success of any of these roles.”

“Kevin has developed the skills to be a successful player, club professional or coach. He was the ideal trainee and is now in a position to choose his own career path in the golf industry.”

“The graduating class of 2010 was of a very high calibre and so I am very honoured to have been chosen as the Trainee of the Year,” said award recipient Kevin Conlong.

“The traineeship has provided me with a solid grounding for my future golf endeavours and I look forward to building a long and prosperous career in the golf industry.”

Kevin was selected from among his 90 peers that graduated from the PGA Traineeship in 2010 and was very honoured by the accolade.

K15 fairway wood may be better than K15 driver

I think the Ping K15 fairway wood is better than the Ping K15 driver,some one may feel strange about my opinion, can the driver compare with the fairway wood ? but don't be confused about it, I don't mean the famous K15 driver is bad club, I know the driver is a prefect game improvement golf club,  and I only mean the K15 fairway wood has more forgiveness,better balance.

The K15 fairway wood is designed for the golfers who tend to lose shots to the right, a substantial amount of sole weight is concentrated near the heel, it helps to square the face, and the elongated head can shift the center of gravity low and more rearward for a higher launch, then the extra-wide face promote faster ball speed and more distance. so it seems that not only the driver can be game improvement club, the fairway wood also can, K15 fairway wood also can make our golf easy.  if the K15 driver can get a 4 star review, then K15 fairway wood must get 5 star.

Titleist's pretty putter-Scotty Cameron Studio putter

I really think the Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Putter is nice golf club, it is more beautiful than the classic style cameron, the three red dot on the club are so cool, there are also some golfers agree that this Scotty Cameron Studio putter is a perfect golf club, it has great feel and proper distance, it is Scotty's high performance putter.

Scotty Cameron Studio putter has a smooth and stepless shaft which make the appearance of the putter more beautiful and cleaner, circular heel-toe weights which can offer increased stability by reducing head rotation on off center impacts for a larger sweet spot. its adjustable weights are designed to provide a proper headweight to shaft length combination. so we must agree that the Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Putter is a pretty and good performance golf club.

Honma's gorgeous driver and irons

Honma has its all new generation--beres 8 series golf club, the people who have saw the golf clubs from beres 8 series, such as MG813 Driver, MG803 Irons must agree that Homa's beres 8 series are very gorgeous golf clubs.  and no matter the dirver or the irons all have good performance.


The Honma BERES MG813 driver is designed for dynamic trajectory and low spin, like other good driver, the MG813 Driver also can provide golfers a faster speed and long distance, and MG813 Driver also has its special feature, it has a 18% larger surface,so it is easier to hit the ball.


Each iron of the MG803 Irons also has its different functions, the long irons can give golfers distance and forgivemess. and the short irons can offer spin control and accuracy. so golfers can see very iron from MG803 is perfect, for example, the  3-7 iron feature a special 2 pieces structure with weight disributed to heel and toe, so it make the iron a better moment of inertia which can help golfers decrease the missed shots, so good irons!

A robust domestic tour, increased commercial opportunities for all golf professionals, greater industry collaboration and better marketing of the game of golf will be key priorities for the PGA of Australia over the next 12 months said Brian Thorburn, Chief Executive Officer of the PGA of Australia, at yesterday’s PGA Annual General Meeting.

“The PGA reported a loss of $1.2 million for 2010, money that was invested for the future benefit of our Members. A priority for the PGA has been to increase tournament playing opportunities for our members and as such we have invested significantly in both the Australian Open and Australian PGA Championship,” he said.

Thorburn, who has a background in the financial industry, said he is committed to reversing current financial trends whilst remaining devoted to improving opportunities for Members.

Taylormade's lightest fairway wood-Burner SuperFast Fairway Wood

TaylorMade Burner SuperFast fairway wood is believed to be the lightest fairway wood of Taylormade, it can offer faster speed and more power than the Taylormade's other fairway wood.many golfers all say the burner superfast has pretty forgiving and excellent feel and sound, and it also own the new Matrix Ozik XCon graphite shaft which can bring higher launch and more speed for longer distance.

For me, the Burner SuperFast Fairway Wood never made me disappointed, when I played with it at the first time, it give me the speed and distance which are exactly what I need, until now, the Burner SuperFast Fairway Wood have improved my golf a lot, I used to feel the fairway is very hard,and I was a little afraid of the fairway, but now,the fairway becomes easy for him, I always can have a good performance in te fairway  with Burner SuperFast Fairway Wood, so I like my this light fairway wood very much.

which is your reliable driver ?

There are two driver which are discount now, one is Taylormade R9 SuperMax Driver, the other is Mizuno MX 700 Driver, their prices are quite cheap now, so if you want to change your current driver,which driver do you prefer, which do you think can help you more on the golf course.


R9 SuperMax Driver, as top golf manufacturer taylormade's famous golf club,can provide golfers the max distance and max ease of use, like Taylormade's latest R11 driver, R9 SuperMax Driver also is a adjustable, it owns the Flight Control Technology, so golfers can change the loft,face and lie angle to adjust the R9 SuperMax Driver's head to 8 different positions altering trajectory and direction.


As we all know, Mizuno is famous for its irons, but its other equipments such as fairway wood, and driver also have the same performance, especially its new MX 700 Driver, it is very a good driver, MX 700 Driver is designed for all the golfers, it has a very high MOI, so it can provide extremely forgiveness for off center hit. it also can give golfers a very long distance, so it is also a not bab driver.


Generally speaking, both R9 SuperMax Driver and MX 700 Driver are perfect golf clubs, but I prefer R9 SuperMax Driver, because it is from the famous Taylormade,I believe it has the best quality, so what about you ?

Good MC Irons, better MB Irons

TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons and TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Irons are both not bad golf clubs from taylormade, but if the Tour Preferred MC are good irons, then the Tour Preferred MB can be better irons, do you want to know the reason ?



There are a lot of professional golf players such as Sergio Garcia, Darren Clarke and Retief Goosen who have put the MC irons(MC means Muscle Cavity) into their bag, and Rory Sabbatini also won the PGA tour in Palm Beach Gardens with these clubs. and Tour Preferred MB Irons have small head, and they can offer perimeter weighting to assist golfers on mis-hits, the MC irons also have a modern appearance, so the golfers can look at the part as well as play to their maximum.



The MB irons (MB means Muscle Back) have perfect feel and control, they have minimal offset and a Precision Weighting Portensures optimal CG location in every clubhead. and Tour Preferred MB irons have smaller head from heel to toe than the MC,butthe par area, where the face meets the hosel, has been made much smaller, so it can provide people more performance on golf course.

Day counted on

Australia’s Jason Day has shot into the world’s top 20 for the first time in the latest golf rankings.

The 23-year-old finished tied for sixth at The Players Championship on the weekend and in the process jumped four places to 20th in the rankings.

Day finished tied for second with compatriot Adam Scott behind South Africa’s Charl Schwarztel at last month’s US Masters and has achieved five top 10 finishes from 10 starts in 2011.

Scott is the highest ranked Australian at number 19 in the rankings, while countrymen Geoff Ogilvy (29th), Robert Allenby (33rd) and Aaron Baddeley (50th) also sit in the top 50.

Baddeley will join Scott, Day, Ogilvy and Allenby in qualifying for next month's US Open should he remain in the top 50 for another week.
