Joe Ogilvie shot a 67 Sunday to win the U.S. Bank Championship, his first PGA Tour title in 230 starts. He defeated Tim Clark with an eagle on the par-4 16th hole …

Dick Pound, head of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said Gary Player’s recent comments that some golfers take performance-enhancing drugs are legitimate. He also criticized the PGA Tour for not acknowledging the possibility of a problem …

“It comes from one of the icons of golf who has no particular ax to grind out there now, other than to try to maintain the integrity of the sport,” Pound told BBC radio Sunday. “It’s a wake-up call that has not come in such stark terms to date from the golf community. I don’t know how widespread it is because there is no testing.”

In the TravelGolf.com This Week podcast, host Dave Berner talks to golf blogger Ron Montesano about touring the best golf courses in Michigan.

Thanks for the love, Dot. Dick Pound must be looking to distract attention from the other, enhancement-infiltrated sports industries within his purview. Funny guy, that Dick. Joe Ogilvie, the human highlight film. Second place: Andres Romero.

Dick Pound is still pissed at being overlooked for the to job with the IOC.

He's been a power hungry bastige ever since.
