Chrysler Classic of Greensboro Round Three: Looks like the devil of a duel between Love and Couch
Send feedback »Oh heavens! Chris Couch isn't going to win again is he? I'm sure he's a really nice chap 'n 'all, and obviously he's no mean golfer when he puts his mind to it, but I find his "doing God's work" routine faintly nauseating. If I was a contestant of an alt… more »

Southern Farm Bureau Classic Round Three: History is against Trahan, but who's left to take over?
2 feedbacks »Remember Greensboro! It sounds like a rallying call from the American Civil War; in fact it's the increasingly desperate cry of D J Trahan layers on the forums. It harks back to almost exactly a year ago when he shot a three over par 75 on the final day… more »

WGC-American Express Championship Round Three: In the absence of a contest, I'm playing the three-balls
Send feedback »Time for some three-ball in-play fun Sunday. I haven't had time to look at them in detail - the indecently early Sunday start has caught me out after a heavy Saturday night, if you get my drift - but the tussle between Adam Scott and Brett Quigley in the… more »
