Last Two Weeks in Golf

Posting has been well overdue here at Primary Rough for the past week and a half. Here’s what I missed…

  • Paula Creamer won a second Japan Tour title, giving her a total of 4 tournament wins on the year. Pretty impressive for a girl fresh out of high school.
  • Ryan Moore earned his PGA Tour card for 2006. The last player to skip Q-school, going right from college to the pros was Tiger Woods.
  • Michelle Wie will once again play in the Sony Open, which is the first event of the 2006 PGA Tour schedule.
  • Jean Van de Velde wants to play in the women’s British Open next year. Is he for real? He couldn’t even hold on to a 3 stroke lead with one hold to play against the men. I guess he wasn’t embarrassed enough.
  • Phil Mickelson will not be playing in the Tour Championship.
  • Tom Watson came from 6 back to win the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
  • With his win at the Chrysler Championship, Carl Pettersson became the ninth player in his 20s to win on the PGA Tour this year.
  • Ernie Els announced that he’ll be back in the “swing” of things for the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa which starts on December 1st.
  • 17-year-old Angela Park has decided to bypass college and head straight for the LPGA Tour.
  • Casey Martin most likely has called it quits.
  • Colin Montgomerie claimed his record eighth money title on the European tour.
  • PGA Tour charity donations to hit $1 billion. That’s a lot of money! No other sport can come close to that number.
