Paul Goydos News

Fate didn't smile on Greg Norman Sunday at Royal Birkdale. The 53-year-old part-time player, who fancies tennis more than golf these days, was on his honeymoon with tennis champion Chris Evert, tuning up for ...

Here's the problem for this week's British Open participants, as seen through the eyes of the cynical fan: You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Call it the ultimate Catch-22 during Tiger Woods ' ...

GOLFWEEK STAFF Royal Birkdale was supposed to provide a big opening for golf's bigger names this week.

No one has more top 10s in the British Open this decade than Garcia, who has gone into the final round within four shots of the lead six times in the last seven years.

The youth movement in golf was going strong in the summer of 1997. Tiger Woods was coming off his first major championship, a 12-shot victory at the Masters to become its youngest champion at 21.

On the condition of anonymity, a PGA Tour pro ponders a major without Tiger, calls out Kenny Perry and picks a homegrown winner.

RANKED PLAYER: Over the years, Perry has collected 11 victories on the US PGA Tour, including two in the last six weeks at the Memorial and the Buick Open AGENCIES, CHICAGO AND NEW YORK Thursday, Jul 10, 2008, ...

The resume of Paul Goydos belongs to the consummate journeyman. In his 15-plus years on the PGA Tour, he has gone over $1 million only twice and has never finished in the top 40 on the money list.

The first time Santiago Cavanagh lined up a short par putt on the 18th green at the TPC Sawgrass Players Stadium Course on Tuesday, he didn't know it was to win the Northern PGA Chapter Championship.

Paul Goydos remembers the first time he was asked to play in a U.S. PGA Tour event, and his RSVP was immediate.

Tiger isn't here. Yet he's on every tongue. Who else could promote his own event from a thousand miles away, simply on the strength of memories he created more than two weeks ago?

For the next four days as more than 120,000 people wander the spectacular grounds of Congressional Country Club, conversation will gradually focus, by Sunday night, on a new winner of the 'AT&T National Hosted by Tiger Woods.' But, until that final shot, you can be sure that almost as much talk will center on the absent host and what he accomplished on a broken leg two weeks ago in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

Today's independence-and-overseas edition of The Sporting Muse: The best sight of the month of July will be Paul Goydos making Brits of all stripes smile and exalt as he plays in his first British Open.

Any notion that the AT&T National is a run-of-the-mill PGA Tour stop were dispelled Wednesday morning when a UH-1 Iroquois helicopter made a low-altitude flyover and a Screaming Eagles parachutist unfurled a ...

Jeff Overton fired a 14-under 130 at the TPC at Michigan while Paul Goydos shot a 13-under 131 at Dearborn Country Club, as both earned medalist honors in Monday's British Open International Qualifying.

All this time, Billy Andrade had no idea he had a caddie under his roof. Andrade's 14-year-old son, Cameron, lugged the bag for Bubba Watson and even read a few greens as Watson and Camilo Villegas teamed up to ...

Mark Twain had the right idea, but the wrong time frame. "If you don't like the weather in New England," he said, "wait a few minutes." It required a wait of a few hours -- four, in fact -- for a pair of severe ...

Even as thunder was rumbling overhead, lightning was flashing in all directions and hail was bouncing on the 18th fairway, Bubba Watson and Camilo Villegas were hoping they would get to play more golf ...

Rocco Mediate says he's not bothered by NBC golf analyst Johnny Miller saying the 45-year old golfer "looks like the guy who cleans Tiger's swimming pool," and "Guys with the name 'Rocco' don't get on the ...

Well, at least the PGA Tour has some recent experience playing without Tiger Woods.
