  • Second-Round Notes – Friday, March 20, 2009
    2009 Transitions Championship (The 13th of 37 events in the PGA TOUR Regular Season) Palm Harbor, FL March 16-22, 2009 FedExCup Points: 500 Purse: $5,400,000 Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club, Copperhead Course Par/Yards: 36-35—71/7,340 Second-Round Notes – Friday, March 20, 2009 74 players made the 36-hole cut at 1-over 143, which is the lowest since 2004 when 73 players made it to the weekend at even-par 142. After his first-round, 2-under 69, Steve Stricker fired a bogey-free, 4-under 67 in round two to claim a share of the 6-under lead with Nick Watney. His round-two score adds to an impressive 2009. Other than the first two rounds of the FBR Open (74-72) and the final round of The 50th Bob Hope Classic (77), Stricker has not posted an above-par round in any of the six stroke-play events in which he has started in 2009. The 2009 Transitions Championship marks Steve Stricker’s fourth start here. He missed the cut in 2004 and 2007, but following a final-round 66 last year, he earned T14 honors. Steve Stricker has held at least a share of a 36-hole lead, one of which he has converted one into victory (1996 Motorola Western Open). His most recent 36-hole lead was the 2008 Barclays, where he ultimately finished T13. Steve Stricker played his first nine holes of the tournament in 1-over. However, he has played his last 27 in 7-under. Additionally his accuracy has dramatically improved from round one to two.

  • 19Th Hole Stories for the World's Greatest Golfers
    PRESS RELEASE WONDER HOW RYDER CUP CHAMPIONS CELEBRATE... Find out in the book Two Good Rounds- 19th Hole Stories for the World’s Greatest Golfers by Elisa Gaudet, now available on www.Amazon.com/uk in hardcover and on Kindle. Luke Donald, Graeme McDowell, Lee Westwood, Pardraig Harrington, Darren Clarke and many more share their stories. Everybody loves a celebration, and golfers are no exception. It has long been a tradition after a round of golf to gather together and celebrate a win or merely enjoy the company of friends, new and old, with a second round at “the 19th hole,” a slang term used in golf that refers to a pub, bar, or restaurant on or near the golf course. Two Good Rounds is an international tribute to 36 of the world's greatest male and female golfers and golf lifestyle, which often includes the enjoyment of drinks. In each chapter, golf writer Elisa Gaudet asks a notable professional golfer the same questions: What is your favorite drink? What is your favorite clubhouse, grill room or 19th hole? A special time, memory or celebration from a 19th hole? If you ever got a hole in one and if you bought the clubhouse a drink? This fun, feel-good respectful look inside the lives of Tour pro’s yields a wide array of answers ranging from crazy celebrations after a win to heartfelt memories of childhoods spent playing golf with family and friends. From the Arnold Palmer (½ lemonade, ½ iced tea) to the Guinness (the preferred drink of tour star Darren Clarke), to Luke Donald’s own wine brand and Graeme McDowell’s celebration after his US Open win.

  • AMT Dechambeau-Johnson
    DeChambeau, Johnson join field at A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — (August 20, 2019): The No. 9-ranked player in the world and a two-time Major Championship winner are among the latest commitments to the player field for A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier, which will take place Sept. 9-15, at America’s Resort™. Bryson DeChambeau and Zach Johnson will both be a part of the 156- player field for the first event of the 2019-2020 season. DeChambeau has already won five times on the PGA TOUR and is currently ranked ninth in the Official World Golf Rankings. He will be making his second trip to The Greenbrier, after finishing T14 in 2017 at 8-under-par for the tournament. A California native who now lives in Dallas, Texas, the 25-year-old DeChambeau is known as “The Scientist,” because of his analytical approach to the game. His irons and wedges are all cut to exactly the same length. Only the lofts are different. In 2015, DeChambeau became the fifth player in history to win both the NCAA Division I championship and the U.S. Amateur in the same year, an exclusive club that includes Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Ryan Moore. His first professional win came at the John Deere Classic in 2017, and he won four times in 2018 — the Memorial Tournament, The Northern Trust, the Dell Technologies Championship and the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Johnson, 43, has 12 career PGA TOUR wins since turning professional in 1998.

  • 2009 Mercedes-Benz Championship (The 1St of 37 Events in the PGA TOUR Regular Season)
    2009 Mercedes-Benz Championship (The 1st of 37 events in the PGA TOUR Regular Season) Kapalua, Maui, HI Jan. 8-11, 2009 Purse: $5,600,000 ($1,120,000 to the winner) The Plantation Course Par/Yards: 36-37—73/7,411 Second-Round Notes – Friday, January 9, 2009 Weather: Sunny and breezy, with temperatures reaching 83. Winds ENE 10-20 mph. In his third consecutive appearance at Kapalua (T13 – 2006, T19 – 2007), Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy maintained a one-shot lead after Friday’s second-round. Ogilvy followed his opening-round 6-under 67 with a 5-under 68 to maintain his lead heading into the weekend. At the halfway point in the 2009 Mercedes-Benz Championship, Geoff Ogilvy leads D.J. Trahan by one stroke. Geoff Ogilvy previously held the 36-hole lead at the 2008 World Golf Championships-CA Championship, where he ended up winning. The odds of a 36-hole leader hanging on to win at the Mercedes-Benz Championship since moving to the Plantation Course in 1999 are fifty-fifty. In the past 10 years, here is a look at those who have managed to win after holding the 36-hole lead: 1999 – David Duval 2000 – Tiger Woods 2003 – Ernie Els 2006 – Stuart Appleby 2007 – Vijay Singh The low round through 36 holes of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz Championship belongs to D.J. Trahan, who fired a 7-under 66 Friday. Trahan trails Geoff Ogilvy by one stroke. Playing in his second Mercedes-Benz Championship (32-2007), D.J. Trahan’s 7-under 66 in round two was his lowest score in a PGA TOUR event since shooting a 7-under 63 in round two of the 2008 BMW Championship.

  • Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf
    COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf Jeffrey Paadre This paper examines 10 years worth of PGA Tour Tournament data in order to examine whether or not clutch performance exists during the final round of a tournament. After controlling scores for differences in course difficulty, the paper finds no evidence of tangible clutch performance. The authors find that the perception of clutch performance is more likely attributable to talent differential between golfers. Assuming a normal distribution of golfer talent, it is possible that Tiger Woods can outshoot his opponents on the final day of a tournament as well as lose his lead to his competitors. Motivation and Literature In professional sports, heroes can be created through the concept of clutch performance. The perception of clutch performance occurs when an athlete raises his or her performance to an extraordinary level during the most important moments of a sporting event. Athletes such as David Ortiz and Adam Vinatieri have been immortalized as legends due to their consistent ability to help their teams win baseball and football games during important games where the outcome was hanging in the balance. Conversely Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood are amongst the unfortunate athletes burdened with reputations as choke artists based on their inability to perform well when their teams needed a high performance the most. One of the challenges that accompanies examining performance under pressure lies within trying to define which performances constitute clutch performance. For example, in 2005 John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, presented David Ortiz with a plaque inscribed “David Ortiz: The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox”.
