Camilo Villegas makes a rare albatross (double eagle) at 2009 Chevron World Challenge

He got nothing to shout about in 2009 season. He only managed to earned USD1,804,981 with 42 spot in PGA this year. His best finished: T4 in WGC-CA Championship.

Then he did a rare thing golfers are able to do at 2009 Chevron World Challenge.



Not bad for the former 2008 BMW championship and 2006 "the sexiest player on tour" named by Golf Digest.

Undisputed Asian Tour Champion 2009

Thongchai Jaidee capped a magical season and continues to establish himself as one of Asia’s greatest players. He claimed his 11th and 12th titles on the Asian Tour with victories at the Enjoy Jakarta Indonesia Open and Ballantine’s Championship in Korea, making him the player with the most wins on the Asian Tour.

Besides being officially crowned as Asia’s new number one for a record third time, the popular Thai also swept aside the Lowest Stroke Average with 69.06 and topped the career earnings, breaking the US$3 million barrier

Total 2009 earning : USD981,931.80 and he is now breaking into the world’s top-50.

Again and similar to Jeev and Weng Chong, as an undisputed champion in Asia, he only can match Scott McCarron(picture) who is number 92 in LPGA in 2009 career earning. To make it worst, he earned slightly higher than Michele Wie in LPGA who is 15th in LPGA with total earning of USD$918,659. (as at todate Wie still incharge with -7 in day two in Omega Dubai Ladies Masters)


Frankly speaking, for me it is an insult to Asian Tour generally!!

Rock Star from the East.

Ryo Ishikawa (石川 遼; born 17 September 1991), also known by the nickname "Hanikami Ōji" (literally, "Bashful Prince"), is a Japanese professional golfer.
Turned professional in 2008 and won another Japan Golf Tour tournament, the mynavi ABC Championship. By the close of 2008 he had become the youngest ever player to reach the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
Ishikawa dominated the Japan Golf Tour for much of the 2009 season and has been the top-ranked Japanese player in the World Rankings. With four wins on the Japan Golf Tour in 2009, in September, Ishikawa became the youngest golfer ever to reach the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings..

Not bad... Not bad at all..

"Wienning Wie"

After 67 starts, Michelle Wie scored her first career LPGA title with victory at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico.
She fulfilled her promise with a 3-under 69 for a two-stroke victory over Paula Creamer in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational. She also finished off the victory in style, hitting a greenside bunker shot within a foot on the final hole to set up a birdie.
Wie last won was the 2003 USGA Women’s Amateur Public Links and she earned $220,000 to push her season winnings just over $900,000.

POULTER POWER AT THE "ASIAN MAJOR" BARCLAYS

England’s Ian Poulter held off a brave challenge from Liang Wen-chong of China to claim a thrilling one-stroke victory at the Barclays Singapore Open on Sunday for his first triumph in two years.

The Ryder Cup star battled to a one-over-par 72 at the Sentosa Golf Club to complete a wire-to-wire victory in the star-studded US$5 million event co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour for the first time.

It was Poulter’s eighth career European Tour win, which was worth US$833,330, and his first since winning the 2007 Dunlop Phoenix Open in Japan. However, the flamboyant Englishman needed to overcome a mid-round wobble with four bogeys over six holes to end his title drought.

Sigh... another blow to Asian golfer.

Shot of the Day: John Senden's rare albatross (double eagle) at Deutsche Bank

Canadian Open 2009 - Leif Olson Incredible One in Hole

From the you tube. Pretty amazing!!! Wonder it was leif olson skills or purely his luck!!!

One Billion Dollar Man

According to Forbes magazine, Tiger Woods has become the first sportsman to earn $1billion in the sporting industry.

Forbes also claims Woods had earned $895million heading into 2009, and says his $20.5million on-course earnings this year plus his $100million annual off-course total means his career earnings are now into 10 figures.

And they believe that the $10million cheque he banked for winning this year's FedEX Cup title took him past the magical milestone.

Fabulous Phil vs Tiger Roar!!!

Phil Mickelson capped off a tumultuous summer at home with a spectacular rally Sunday to win the Tour Championship but still saw his rival walk off with the bigger pay cheque.

Mickelson won the battle, a three-stroke victory at East Lake to cap an emotional year and earned a $3 million bonus, on top of his $1.35 million for winning the Tour Championship, while Woods won the war, a second-time FedEx Cup champion despite a pitched Sunday afternoon that taxed pocket calculators and prognosticators everywhere.

The world number one claimed a USD10 million bonus as FedEx Cup champion.

Never have they shared the spotlight, each going home with a trophy that was meaningful in its own way.

Brilliance at the BMW

Despite without any major , Tiger Woods won for the sixth time this year (71st career victory) by a massive eight shots at the BMW Championship in Chicago. This win has assured Woods the No. 1 ranking going into the final tournament of the FedEx Cup and its $10 million prize. After Shooting a course record of 62, he never looked back and shoot another brilliance 68 and won for the fifth time at Cog Hill, and it was his 10th career victory by at least eight shots.

Tiger Woods' lead at the top of the world rankings with 16.04 points bigger than it has been for the past 12 months.

Furyk's five-under round of 66 saw him make a late charge up the leaderboard though there was never any real chance of him overhauling Woods.

As Furyk said:“It felt like we had a tournament within a tournament,” . “Tiger was seven ahead. He was kind of running away. It was kind of a tournament for second place.”

Without the points reset, which narrows the gap between Nos. 1 and 2 to 250 points and guarantees the FedEx Cup to any player that is in the top 5 that wins the Tour Championship, Woods would need only to remain upright and lucid to claim his second FedEx Cup.

Hey look!!!! There is a new Girl in town!!!

M.J. Hur, a native from Korea, stunned the LPGA and made a 6-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole of the Safeway Classic on Sunday to beat the favourite Suzann Pettersen on the Ghost Creek course at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Oregon.

This is her first LPGA victory and she pocketed another $255,000.00 paycheck, jumped into number 32 in LPGA money leaders.

Hur, who competed on the Futures Tour last season, had played in 13 previous tournaments this season, making the cut six times.

The Barclays….. Feel the Heath?

Heath Slocum saved par in dramatic fashion at the 72 hole to clinch a one-shot victory in The Barclays at Liberty National. The best thing was he came form nowhere and now jumped to 3rd in FedEx cup standing and another $1,350,000.00 richer.

He was locked in a tense battle over the final hour Sunday at Liberty National with some of the biggest names in golf – Tiger Woods, Steve Stricker, Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els.

After losing a two shot lead in the PGA Championship, it was another finish Tiger Woods would like to forget.

Dont try this in your golf course....

Dont try this in your golf course.... ( you will be sorry for your whole life!!!)

……………….and the playoff begin

Fedex cup............

.................. Tiger won it in 2007


........................................ Vijay lift it in 2008

Who will????

.....................................Fedex Cup, Be the best and beat the rest....

Seven in Heaven

It was the 70th victory of Tiger’s PGA Tour career, three behind Jack Nicklaus in second place. Sam Snead (82) holds the record.

In a swift turn of events on Firestone’s famous 16th hole, Woods went from one shot behind to a four-shot victory Sunday by closing with a 5-under 65 to win the Bridgestone Invitational and became the first player in PGA Tour history to win seven times on the same golf course.

Harrington was being consistent, grinding it out, doing all the right things. Unfortunately, after he triple bogey at the 16, the day belong to Tiger once again….

Ironically, they will pairing each other again in next week last major of the year at Hazeltine National Golf Club

I'm Bond, James Garcia Bond!!!!

Who says golfer cannot act?

69 and still counting…

After a dismay performance at British open last month, Tiger has bounced back to win his 69 PGA victory at Buick Open at Warwick Hills last Sunday.

The world number one turned a one-shot 54-hole lead into a three-stroke victory over Roland Thatcher, John Senden and Greg Chalmers at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Grand Blanc.

Now, he moved into first place in the FedEx Cup standings and padded his lead on the money list with another $918,000 after tying Vijay Singh’s record of three Buick Open titles.

Looking forward to watch him at World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio next week.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

The unlikely champion turned to soak up a beautiful sight beneath gathering clouds Monday at Bethpage Black.

Lucas Glover steadied his hands for a 3-foot par putt on the 18th hole, an anticlimactic finish to five dreary days at a U.S. Open filled with more delays than drama.

And for the first time in five years, all the major trophies belong to someone other than Tiger Woods

The Curse of “Bethpage Black” Pearl

The second major has come!!!!!!!!!!!

This year, they are again will try to overcome the curse of the black pearl as Tiger did in 2002.

Eventhough The Black Course is considered the best public courses in the world and the best courses of any type in USA, no one was able to break par except Tiger Woods in 2002.

Since Tiger victory, The Black Course has been lengthened to 7,426 yards since. It features graduated rough that should allow players to reach the green instead of hacking out to the fairway.

After all, its US Open Golf Championship...............................

67 in hand and more to come!!!!!

Congratulations to Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods for earning his 67 PGA victory

As usual, it was a dramatic comeback, thrilled and all Tiger’s way. Just like that, Tiger Woods broke out of a four-way tie and won the Memorial on Sunday with a 7-under 65 to cap off a high-charged comeback.

And just as suddenly, he silenced the skeptics who wondered if he was ready to defend his title in the U.S. Open in two weeks at Bethpage Black.

59- The magical score in golf.

On records, only 5 person who actually score the magical number in golfing history;

1) Al Geiberger:
- First person in history to shot 59 (his second round in) winning the 1977 Danny Thomas Memphis Classic

2) Chip Beck:
- Second person in history shot a round of 59 during the third round of the 1991 Las Vegas International on the Sunrise Golf Club (par 72) in Las Vegas, Nevada

3) David Duval:
- shooting a 59 in the final round of the 1999 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic on the Palmer Course at PGA West in La Quinta, California (doing so in dramatic fashion by making an eagle on the 18th hole).

4) Annika Sörenstam :
- Sorenstam was the first player ever to break 60 in an LPGA event; she shot a 59 at the par-72 Moon Valley Country Club in Phoenix in the second round of the 2001 Standard Register PING tournament

5) Myself:
- shot 59 during yesterday tournament via EA sport mobile against Tiger Woods.

Sigh…I was unable to play real golf due to back injury…. Damn boring..........

EAGLES HAS LANDED!!!! - FROM SOUTH KOREA

What is so special on this LPGA Corning Classic?

Event though this is the final year of the longest running tournament (31 years) on the LPGA Tour with the same sponsor at the same venue, we are much more excited to hear from this young Korean girl who make remarkable history in LPGA.

Eunjung Yi eagled three of her first five holes in the third round of the LPGA Corning Classic to vault from 4 under to 10 under, and four shots off the lead.

Yi eagled the par-4 first, the par-5 second, and the par-5 fifth. She’s just the fifth player in LPGA history to accomplish the feat and only the 17th to post consecutive eagles.

Maybe she don’t have chance to win compared to her Japanese compatriot but she definitely has landed into the glamorous golf tournament in the world.

It's a norm to make an eagle but 3 eagles in the first 5 hole? You must be kidding!!!! but anything can happen in golf!!!!!

For me, i have yet to archeive my 50th birdes in my entire life.... An eagle? yeah... keep on dreaming dude!!!!

What’s in the bag- Zach Johnson

This young dude from Iowa, has successfully defended his Texas Open title which he won it last year and earned his sixth career PGA Tour victory.

Seven months after his first victory at La Cantera Golf Club, Johnson beat James Driscoll with a 10-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole after a final-round shootout in which seven players stood within a stroke of the lead with four holes left. He already collected USD3.13M in 13th game in 2009 season!!!!.

So, let’s check what the heck he got in his Titleist bag when he earned $ 1,098,000.00 in Texas.

Club Name

Driver : Titleist 909D2 8.5
Shaft : Mitsubishi Diamana Blueboard 73
3-wood : Titleist 909F2 13.5°
5-wood : Titleist 909F2 18.5°
Hybrid : Titleist 909H 21°
Irons (4-9) : Titleist AP2
Wedge : Titleist Vokey Design 48°
Wedge : Titleist Vokey Design 54°
Wedge : Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 60°
Putter : SeeMore FGP Stainless
Ball : Titleist Pro V1x


Do you noted on his “Titleist mania” and all the wedges his is using? I think most amateur is only using max 2 wedges at all time. For myself, I definitely stick to my TM Rac 56 degree…sigh…..

DARING JOHN DALY

When everybody talks about Stenson triumph and on how Tiger’s and the rest falter in Stadium course TPC, a few of us notice on how’s our problem child charging back from 11th place with a 5-under 66 in the final round in Italian Open last Sunday.

Wearing “batik” and multi colour trouser, he is playing in his second tournament on the European Tour since the break, Daly shot a 31 on the back nine with birdies at the 11th, 14th, 16th and 17th holes, and was six strokes off the lead. The 66 was the fifth consecutive round in which Daly has broken 70.

It was his first top 10 finish since 2005 and all the news he has made since then pointed to someone going off the rails again. Sharing second place with England's Robert Rock and Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin will certainly help. It earned him more than £86,000.

Banned by the US Tour for six months last November after he was thrown in jail to sober up and down at 794th in the world, there were those - many, in fact - who reckoned Daly was done and dusted as a golfer.

Not bad for unwanted golfer who was appeared just outside Augusta National last month, selling his own merchandise from a trailer outside Augusta National while The Masters went on and he did not deny he was in dire need of money.

Fore!!!!!!!- you will end up in the hospital..

Actor/ Comedian, Bill Murray hooked a tee shot so badly during the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am event. The ball sailed across a street next to the hole and hit a woman in her front yard. She was knocked to the ground and had to go to the hospital.

Murray was on No. 9 at the TPC Tampa Bay during the first round of the Outback Pro-Am when he hit Gail DiMaggio as she was watching the tournament. He was playing with Hal Sutton, Jeff Sluman and Fred Paglia. They continued while Murray’s caddy took him in a cart to the woman’s yard, where paramedics were attending to her. Tournament officials said DiMaggio was lying on the ground, but conscious and moving. “I wasn’t sure I was in bounds or not,” Murray said. “And I saw this NBC golf cart coming at me and he said, ‘I hate to be the one to tell you this but you hit a lady. She’s down on the ground.’ That is, you know, sobering...

Dear God, I have one confession…. I had also did hit my golf mates during I was 24 handicappers. To be more specific, my beloved srixon 3 golf ball sliced and hit the old man’s head. (don’t blame me but blame the equipment!!!). I’m so lucky that he is still alive today

Pre-War Golf Story

Have you seen pre-war golf clubs used by golfers before WWW1?. Take a look images below even though some its only a replica which not available these days. Notice the golf driver and those golf ball? Even Tiger Wood will find it difficult to draw above 320 yards..

I quite amaze with the outfit and the golf gear the players wear those days…. Macho beb!!!

Btw, according to http://www.home.aone.net/, The word "golf" is recorded as long ago as 1457, in the statutes of the Scottish Parliament, when the sport was banned because it interfered with archery practice. The word was also spelled "gowf", reflecting the way the Scots pronounced it. Some say the word derives from an Old Dutch word "kolf, kolven" meaning club, clubs. I wonder….
