Faldo eyes Donald

European Ryder Cup captain Nick Faldo was wandering about the range at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Thursday and stopped behind Luke Donald. 

Donald is one of the Europeans who Faldo would likely depend on going into this year's Ryder Cup. Faldo stayed for a good 10 minutes before Donald went off for his first-round tee time.

The Ryder cup is one of the interesting Golf events if you’re golf lovers as I do. This event which has begun this is nearly a century. And since then and it becomes one of the most attractive events of golf sports. Golf lovers get familiar to attend this event but as far I’m concerned sometimes tickets in such important events are hard to get and prices gone sky rocked. Lately, a friend has discovered a site where one can do the comparison of ticket prices for free and purchase with the lowest prices offered. http://www.ticketwood.com/pga/Ryder-Cup-Tickets/index.php <a href="http://www.ticketwood.com/pga/Ryder-Cup-Tickets/index.php">Tickets</a>

Headlines

Honoring the true heroes

Dan Rooney loves the game of golf. He loves his country a little more. And by combining the two loves, he’s making a difference for those who have served our country.  

Tway's new stage in life

Bob Tway could easily be part of the FedEx Cup's first playoff tournament, The Barclays, but the 49-year-old has different priorities this week. Instead of attempting to secure his PGA Tour card for 2009, Tway is carrying the bag of 20-year-old son Kevin at this week's U.S. Amateur Championship. 

A European dry spell at PGA

The PGA Championship is notable for a number of things, not the least of which is its position in golf's  major championships lineup. It is the final act, the cleanup hitter, “Glory's Last Shot.” But the most astounding piece of the PGA's personality, if you are a European, is its elusiveness. The count is at 78 now, 78 years since a European-born player won the tournament. Only the Chicago Cubs, whose last world championship came in 1908, have known such frustration.

Manning up to be on Ryder Cup team

The tournament within the tournament can’t be ignored this week, much as some people try hard to do just that. The 90th PGA Championship might be the last shot at glory for those yearning to win a major this year, but it’s also a last chance for some U.S. players to lock up a Ryder Cup spot. The eight automatic bids under the new points system instituted by the PGA of America and captain Paul Azinger will be determined Sunday. Azinger then has three more weeks to select four men for wild-card positions, up from the traditional two picks.

Enough already about The Monster

Enough, already. We get the point. Actually, we got the point four months and 3,762 references ago, because that’s about how many times we have been subjected to this nonsense about something Ben Hogan may have said 57 years ago.

Wie's hard knocks lesson

Michelle Wie was on the verge of something big last week at the LPGA State Farm Classic — her first professional win. But a rules infraction got her DQ'd on Saturday. Now she'll go after that first win on the PGA Tour, and likely won't forget to sign her card.  

The power of observation

From Kenny Perry to John Daly to Colin Montgomerie, from the sublime to the colorful. This is what makes the game so good. 

Copping a 'tude at British

The wind is often going to be brutal, so deal with it. The courses are not as pristine and manicured as in the United States, so get over. This is the British Open and, whether they like it or not, the conditions are often the same for everyone. Move on if you don't like it.  

Open is above any one player

Say what you will about The Open Championship, but even without you know who in the field — and, no, not Kenny Perry — this is still a revered championship with a legacy that runs further back than when Tiger Woods made his first appearance. 

Kim chooses correct path

Anthony Kim was a crossroads. He could either continue down the road of laziness and late night carousing or he could shape up and start living up to his potential. He chose the latter — and he’s having way more fun.
