    Jordan Spieth a Grand Winner, Dustin Johnson a Tragic Loser

    While matching or breaking some age-related records, Jordan Spieth won the 2015 US Open to make it his second Major title of the year, leaving him the opportunity to possibly even complete the Golf Grand Slam in one year, although all that wouldn’t have been possible without Dustin Johnson providing an epic collapse on the final hole.

    PGA Championship – Rory McIlory Proves He’s Special Once Again

    The popular thing at the moment is trying to figure out just how great Rory McIlory can be by comparing him to the legends of golf, but simply focusing on the fact that he’s the best golfer in the world, winning the 2014 PGA Championship to make it two titles in that tournament and four majors over the last four years is enough to distinguish himself from the rest of the field.

    Tiger Woods Won’t Let Injury Stop Him From Playing in the PGA Championship

    It’s been one year since Tiger Woods last won a title, and it’s been much longer since he has seen success in a Major Tournament and specifically the PGA Championship.

    How Old are the Most Popular Sports

    The Olympics, in some sort of ancient version, were here way before Jesus walked on water. While association football (soccer) doesn’t have an official source, versions of the game have been around for hundreds of years. The NFL, NBA and MLB might be relatively young, but the sports these leagues are based on have been around for quite some time.

  • Charl Schwartzel Missing Three Consecutive 2 Feet Putts

    Instead of challenging for the title and big check at the Deutsche Bank Championship, Charl Schwartzel plummeted to 45th place after a terrible round of 18, which included missing three putts from less than two feet away, resulting in his fifth double bogey of the day.

Despite of disappointing many with his majors performances, Tiger Woods is once again one of the best players in the world, winning his 74th PGA Tour tournament (tying Jack Nicklaus), the AT&T National at the Congressional Country Club.

  • John Peterson With a Hole-In-One at the US Open
