Woods Backs Mickelson’s Decision To Cut Back On Events In 2014

Posted on November 6, 2013 by | Comments Off on Woods Backs Mickelson’s Decision To Cut Back On Events In 2014

Tiger Woods has supported Phil Mickelson’s decision to play a reduced schedule in 2014 after the big American’s announcement last week.

Mickelson hinted that he might even skip the end of season FedEx Cup play-offs despite the amount of money on offer in these tournaments.

The world number one Woods said he understood Mickelson’s decision to have more time away from the course, and saying that it is so important to stay refreshed for the big events such as the four majors and the World Golf Championships and of course The Players Championship.

Steve Stricker seems to have got it right this year, he has only played in 13 tournaments but has made the cut in each event  and has earned $4.4m. Not bad work if you can get it!

Steve Stricker wins PGA Memorial Tournament

Posted on June 6, 2011 by | Comments Off on Steve Stricker wins PGA Memorial Tournament

Despite bogeying the 18th in a tense finish, American Steve Stricker held his nerve to win the rain-delayed Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village.

He finished on 16 under to beat Matt Kuchar and Brandt Jobe by a stroke, for his 10th career victory.

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy finished five shots behind Stricker, after a final-round 68.

Stricker, who led by three shots going into the final round, birdied five of the opening eight holes to increase his lead to four shots after Kuchar and Jobe took advantage of a huge wobble from Jonathan Byrd.

Byrd began the day in second place but saw his challenge disappear after a bogey on the third and a double-bogey on the eighth.

Stricker, whose win moves him to number four in the world rankings, twice saved par from bunkers, at the 16th and 17th, after a two-and-a-half-hour rain delay, but missed the par putt at the 18th before tapping in for victory.
