      Ochoa: a Lady Tiger?

      (Newser) - Golf fans should have no trouble choosing between the Lady or the Tiger at the moment: The best player in the world today, Ed Sherman writes in the Chicago Tribune , is Lorena Ochoa. With four victories in a row and five in six tournaments, the 26-year-old Mexican has already qualified for the LGPA Hall of Fame and has the chance for a Grand Slam. More »

      A Green Jacket for Immelman

      (Newser) - Trevor Immelman has never felt better. Four months after he had a tumor removed from his back, Immelman handled the wind and pressure of Augusta National far better than anyone chasing him Sunday to win the Masters, the first South African in a green jacket in 30 years. Immelman held it together around Amen Corner and stretched his lead to as many as six shots on the back nine, taking the life out of a Masters that began with so much hype.  More »

      Anyone But Masters Leads at Augusta

      (Newser) - As Tiger Woods finds himself six strokes back going into today's concluding round of the Augusta Masters tournament, ESPN takes a look at the unlikely foursome at the top of the leaderboard. Trevor Immelman is four months removed from a hospital visit, Brandt Snedeker is practically still a rookie, Steve Flesch barely made the cut, and Paul Casey has never cracked sixth place in a Masters tourney.

      Immelman Steady as Woods Lurks

      (Newser) - Trevor Immelman watched one last shot turn out better than he expected today in the Masters, keeping him atop the leaderboard and Tiger Woods farther behind. Immelman was headed for at least double bogey on the 15th until his ball stopped on a steep slope toward the pond, allowing him to escape with par, a two-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker and keeping him six shots ahead of Woods.

      Immelman Leads a Masters Full of Surprises

      (Newser) - Trevor Immelman, who only four months ago was in a hospital in South Africa to recover from a benign tumor that doctors removed from his diaphragm, shot a second consecutive 4-under 68 to build a one-shot lead over Snedeker after two rounds of the Masters. Tiger Woods, at 1-under, needs a huge comeback to start a Grand Slam for 2008. More »

      Hole in One Doesn't Touch Tiger Territory

      (Newser) - Ian Poulter's hole in one in yesterday's opening round was impressive, but that doesn't bring him to the level of golf's unassailable leader. Tiger Woods, though he's sitting four shots back of the leaders after the first day of the Augusta Masters, is still unquestionably the world's best golfer. The New York Times wonders who his successor might eventually be. More »

      Surprise! Tiger is the Favorite for Augusta

      (Newser) - The outcome of the Masters is all too obvious, an anonymous pro writes for Golf.com. He expects Tiger Woods to win in one of his best performances yet, fulfilling the four-time Masters champion's promises that he is still improving his game. Though Tiger is making most of the tournament fields he has faced this year look like flailing children, some of the others might have a chance. More »

      Johnson's Green Jacket Revives Putter Company

      (Newser) - The 2007 Masters did more than propel champion Zach Johnson to the center of the golfing universe, it also revitalized a small putter company. The SeeMore Putter Co. first rose to prominence when the late Payne Stewart used their club to win the 1999 U.S. Open but after Stewart died sales sputtered—until Johnson won the green jacket, reports the Associated Press.

      Soggy Doral Frustrates Tiger As Ogilvy Leads

      (Newser) - Adam Scott did to Tiger Woods what the world's No. 1 player usually does to other players today at the CA Championship, reports the Associated Press. Scott picked up five shots in five holes on Woods and stayed within one shot of leader Geoff Ogilvy, before storms suspended play at Doral. Woods is three shots back as he, Ogilvy, and Scott will need to complete the last seven holes of the third round before tomorrow's final round begins. More »
