With a lot golf taking place and it being a holiday weekend and all, it is simply viable that you ignored something interesting. Let me give you a brief replace of the number one newsmakers on Saturday.
First of all, Sergio Garcia gashed his manner to the pinnacle of the leaderboard with a sixty four to returned up Friday's 65. He's at -thirteen, and both Roberto Castro and Henrik Stenson are only a shot in the back of. Stenson published a 63, the exceptional spherical of his career. Oh yeah, Henrik's back!
Tiger, Adam, and Phil put on a bit of a show Saturday. Tiger (-7) got himself back into the tournament with some steady play, Adam (-3) made sure he made the cut... and Phil (-8) was Phil. After shooting -2 on the front 9, Phil lost control of his driver and went +4 in 7 holes, only to regain control and go -2 on the last 2 holes for an even par round. Phil said he was proud of the way he hung in there. For the rest of us, it was a short game clinic. Here's a link to Saturday's Golf Central ; you've GOT to see Phil's wedge recovery shot on 11 (at the 1:45 mark). Even Phil was at a loss for words to explain it.
You can examine PGATOUR.Com's wrap-up of the round right here.
Over at the Web.Com Tour the large news is that Patrick Cantlay is not only on top but has a three stroke lead. Cantlay has been sidelined most of the season with injuries, but you would not realize it to watch him play this week!
PGA Tour pro Arron Oberholser additionally makes my "large information" list. Oberholser has performed simplest 4 instances within the remaining 2 years because of all his injuries and surgical procedures. He's been doing observation for GC and got into the playoff series quite with the aid of accident. He did not realize he changed into certified till his wife convinced him to test. As I understand it, he's gambling on an eleven-match medical exemption. He's at -14 (T3) simply 5 off the lead.
And we've got a Yani Tseng sighting on the LPGA Tour! After a year of virtual invisibility, Yani has shot sixty seven-sixty eight-63 (-18) for a 3 stroke lead on the Safeway Classic. The 63 is the second one lowest spherical of her profession, and it blanketed eleven birdies and a couple of bogeys. Yani is presently 15th within the Rolex Rankings -- after being #1 less than a year ago -- and seems to ultimately be returned on the right track. She even has her former caddie returned on her bag (the one who become together with her at some point of her run to #1) after firing him for the duration of her terrible stretch. But there's a bunch of huge names proper at the back of her, consisting of Suzann Pettersen at -15.
At the Euro Tour's ISPS Handa Wales Open (at Celtic Manor, a former Ryder Cup web page), Peter Uihlein is three pictures ahead of his nearest competitor. This is Uihlein's rookie year but he's already won as soon as and locked up his card. At the price he is going, Uihlein will probable be on Tom Watson's Ryder Cup radar next 12 months. The query is... Is Freddie watching?
And on the Champions Tour, Rocko Mediate set a non-public scoring document of 127 for 36 holes (63-64) on the Shaw Charity Classic. He shot 29 at the lower back nine each days! And he's still most effective were given a 2-shot lead on Bobby Clampett.
So the question turns into... Who're YOU gonna watch these days? It's tough to make a awful choice this week.
