Tiger Woods Ends PGA Tour Losing Streak, Crushes Field at Arnold Palmer Invitational

More than two years after a huge sex scandal derailed his aura of invincibility and roiled his personal life, Tiger Woods is back to doing what he does best. Winning. Woods looked dominant as ever in his Sunday red shirt at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, notching his first PGA Tour victory since 2009. The 36-year-old closed with a 2-under 70 and won by five shots over Graeme McDowell. The tour win was Tiger’s first in 923 days, if you can believe it. Tiger Woods Wins Arnold Palmer Invitational “I think he really just kind of nailed home his comeback,” McDowell said. “Great to have a front-row seat watching maybe the greatest of all time.” Woods showed flashes of his old self in recent months, even winning the Chevron World Challenge (an unofficial event). But it all came together this week. Walking off the green, Tiger waved his cap to the crowd. “It’s not like winning a major championship or anything,” he said. “But it certainly feels really good.” His next appearance will be in a major championship, the Masters, where he played well the past two years even while demonstratively off his game. The rest of the field is officially on notice April 5.

Tiger Woods Humbled At The Masters

See original here:

Tiger Woods did not shine like he has in the past at the greatest golf event of the year, the Masters Tournament. Tiger has been humbled once again. Even though we may not have been huge golf fans, we have rallied around the triumphs and trials of this ethnically mixed black man. Related article: Does Tiger’s Public Contrition Forgive His Sins? For those of you that are golf fans, could the way he is technically approaching the game have something to do with his slump.  In a recent article from The Atlantic , they explore how the could be a real reason for the slump. Masters 2011: The Real Reason Tiger Woods Is Slumping As Tiger Woods competes in this year’s Masters Tournament in Augusta, GA—the highest-profile golf event of the season—and makes a run at breaking Jack Nicklaus’s 18 major tournament wins, his professional downfall is ever-glaring. The world’s highest-paid athlete and formerly first-ranked golfer is currently seeded seventh by the PGA and finished tied in 19th place after the first round at the Masters. He surged up to third place in the second round, but ESPN wondered “whether the two youngsters ahead of him really cared.” Much ado is being made about the fact that Woods has not won a major since 2008—particularly as he continues to brush up against Nicklaus’s record—and everything from his torn ACL three years ago to (and especially) distractions following the media circus surrounding his extra-marital affairs and divorce are blamed for the drought. But hookers and TMZ aside, Time has a simpler theory for why Woods’s game has been stuck in the sandtrap. He’s holding that club too darned tight.

The 19-year-old Ryo Ishikawa has decided to donate all of his 2011 earnings to disaster relief in Japan. The golfer has also offered 100,000 yen (about $1,200) for every birdie he makes. Whether or not Ryo Ishikawa takes home the top prize at the Masters golf tournament, he is already a hero in his homeland of Japan. Ishikawa has been on tour since the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan last month, killing more than 12,000 people. But he wants his countrymen to know that he has no

“I#39;m still in shock,” Carrie Ann Inaba, 43, told us before Monday#39;s episode of Dancing. As reality sinks in, the Dancing judge will focus on the business of wedding planning. “I#39;d like to get married sooner rather than later,” she says. “He#39;s the right person, and I just have this feeling of let#39;s just keep moving forward.” She#39;s the unflappable judge on Dancing with the Stars.

Nobel Climate Scientist at Stanford Stephen Schneider dies at 65

Co-Nobel Prize winner who collaborated with Al Gore – Stephen Schneider – passed away today. Stephen was one of the most interesting people I have had the pleasure of meeting – though it was only once at his daughters graduation ceremony when receiving her masters degree. My heartfelt condolences go out to my friend and her family at news of this tragic loss. “Late this morning we received the very sad news that Dr. Stephen Schneider of Stanford University, who is the subject of today's blog post, passed away suddenly this morning of an apparent heart attack while on a flight from Stockholm, Sweden to London, England. Stanford's press office has confirmed the news, and issued a statement. Andy Revkin of the New York Times DotEarth blog has a post online now that includes reflections from Ralph Cicerone, the President of the National Academy of Sciences…” http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/2010/07/_i_recently_came_acr… added by: Paisano1
