Posted on 26 Jun 2011 by Jeremy Schilling.
A new PGA Tour winner starts this week's What It Means: 1) Fredrik Jacobson won the Travelers Championship in Hartford today. He used a clutch par putt at 17 and a timely missed par putt by Ryan Moore on 18 to seal his first PGA Tour victory after 188 tries by one shot. What do I think about Jacobson going forward? Well, he'll be one of those guys that you see on a leaderboard now and then, and...

Posted on 24 Apr 2011 by Jeremy Schilling.
A dramatic playoff starts off this week's What It Means: 1) To the big time golf fan it may be surprising to read that Brandt Snedeker had only had one previous PGA Tour victory — the 2007 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro — coming into today.

Posted on 28 Mar 2011 by Jeremy Schilling.
Another twenty-something winning starts this week's What It Means: Martin Laird Wins at Bay Hill: Laird fits the trend: another guy in his 20s from Europe winning on the PGA Tour. And this time he used a nifty European links-style bump and run shot to help put his round back on track. After struggling in the first portion of the round that included a water ball on 11, Laird used the useful shot...

Won 2 Watch: Jhonattan Vegas
Posted on 28 Feb 2011 by High Fade.
“Johnny Vegas”…what a nickname to have, considering that the original was an outlandish English actor and comedian, strikingly different from his younger and noticeably more humble golfing counterpart. Nonetheless, the golfing Vegas is a superstar in the making, capturing his first PGA Tour victory at the 2011 Bob Hope Classic, early in his rookie season. However, Vegas didn’t just st...

PGA Tour Sleeper: Tommy “2 Gloves” Gainey
Posted on 21 Feb 2011 by High Fade.

Gainey is a journeyman, having played on the Egolf Tar heel, NGA Hooters, Gateway, Nationwide and PGA Tour. Gainey also comes ...

Quick Hit From The Road
Posted on 14 Feb 2011 by Jeremy Schilling.
Tiger Woods Shooting a 75 on Sunday in Dubai: It's a process. New swings need to be tested under every possible condition and Sunday presented a new one: heavy winds. He called it a learning experience and that it exposed some flaws in the swing. He'll get them fixed. D.A. Points and Bill Murray win Pebble: maybe this is a lesson for all of us: keep it light, have distractions from a big n...

PGA Tour Sleeper: Steve Marino
Posted on 7 Feb 2011 by High Fade.
When Bubba Watson won his first PGA tournament at the 2010 Travelers Championship, Steve Marino immediately inherited the mantle as the “Best Player on Tour Without a Win”.

Posted on 31 Jan 2011 by High Fade.
Jason Day began his PGA Tour career in 2006 and like many young golfers before him, thought that he would take over the golfing world and immediately challenge for the #1 ranking.

Won 2 Watch: Bill Haas
Posted on 17 Jan 2011 by High Fade.
Bill Haas is quietly becoming his own man. No one has ever questioned his talent, but let’s be honest; he was always viewed as Jay Haas’s son and better known for playing in the annual Father/Son Challenge and charity golf tournaments. Unfortunately most athletes that follow in the great footsteps of their father, ever emerge to establish a well recognized name of their own. However, ...
