PGA Golf Talk

Since 1916, PGA has been a boom to the world of Golf. PGA is the World’s Largest Sports Organization with more than eighty-nine PGA championships in different states of America.
Golf is a premier sport event in many countries and Tiger Woods is the international golfer who certainly rules the Golf world. He has won tremendous 62 championships and is the fifth youngest player. His New Year success seems to be boding and promising for this year’s championships. He has won his fourth consecutive victory at the Buick Invitational in California. Tiger Woods had cruised to a nine shot victory and won 5.2 million-dollars. Woods conventionally maintained the clear lead in round 67, 65 and 66 in the opening three rounds for the next day. Even his worst round earlier with one-under par 71 and his overnight victory was astonishing for other fellow players. But Woods is not satisfied from his final round 71 in which he carded five birdies and four bogeys. He said that he has done half right but he wanted to shoot an under-par round without bogeys. Ryuji Imada of Japan was placed at second position at eleven under. While Rori Sabbintini of South Africa and Stewart Cink of America were tied at third position at nine-under.

Tiger Woods makes his 2008 PGA Tour debut at the Buick Invitational this weekend in sunny San Diego. Torrey Pines Golf and Country Club plays host to the real beginning of the PGA season with the Pacific Ocean as a gorgeous backdrop. This will be sneak peek preview for the U.S. Open, which will also be hosted by Torrey Pines. That being said, do not forget to take the weather in to consideration. Torrey Pines is rarely played in the winter. And I don’t care that it’s in California. The climate is different in January than it will be in June, so factor that in when you’re studying the lay of the land.The big hole to watch out for is sixth hole, which has been converted from a manageable par-5 to a terrifying par-4.

The Philippines won the first Women’s World Cup of Golf by two strokes followed by South Korea at Sun City on Sunday.  Jennifer Rosales and Dorothy Delasin carded a final round of 65 for a 72 hole aggregate of 18-under par 198. South Korea, who shared the overnight lead with the Philippines, were second on 16-under par with Chinese Taipei and Japan in third at 13-under. France were fifth on 11-under.For the South Africans it was a case of too much to do in the third round of better ball after trailing South Korea by seven strokes at the start. Teeing off on the 18th and enjoying a two-stroke lead over South Korea, both Rosales and Delasin found heavy rough.

International Final Qualifying (IFQ) for the British Open gets underway in South Africa on Tuesday.This is the first of five qualifying events on five different continents for the July 17-20 championship will be held at the same Royal Johannesburg and Kensington course .Mark Murlessis looking to bounce back from his disappointing two-over 73 on the final day.

 Tyrone Ferreira showed no sign of nerves on his professional debut by firing a bogey-free, six-under-par 65 to share the lead after the first round of the Joburg Open on Thursday. The co-sanctioned European and Sunshine Tour event at the par-71 Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club got underway in steady rain but that did not hamper Ferreira. The 20-year-old, South Africa’s number one amateur in 2007, birdied his second hole as a professional, a 490-metre par-five, to give his round immediate momentum.
