TODAY’S TOPICS
- FRESH OFF HIS WIN AT FIRESTONE -- KEEGAN BRADLEY PLAYED THE FRONT 9 AT KIAWAH ISLAND’S OCEAN COURSE ON MONDAY. BRADLEY IS TRYING TO BECOME THE FIRST BACK-TO-BACK PGA CHAMPION SINCE TIGER WOODS DID THE DOUBLE IN 2006 AND 2007.
- THE OCEAN COURSE HAS PLENTY OF SAND -- BUT NONE OF THEM WILL BE PLAYED AS BUNKERS. THE PGA OF AMERICA IS TREATING EACH SANDY AREA AS A WASTE HAZARD -- WHICH MEANS PLAYERS CAN NOT ONLY GROUND THEIR CLUBS -- BUT ALSO MAKE FULL PRACTICE SWINGS.
- THE NUMBER ONE RANKED AMATEUR IN WOMEN’S GOLF IS ON TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD IN THE U.S. WOMEN’S AMATEUR. 15-YEAR-OLD KIWI LYDIA KO SHOT A 1ST ROUND 6-UNDER 66 TO OPEN UP A TWO-SHOT LEAD.
- PHIL MICKELSON IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING PART-OWNER OF THE SAN DIEGO PADRES. THE TEAM HAS AGREED TO SELL TO PHIL’S GROUP -- LED BY FORMER L-A DODGERS OWNER PETER O’MALLEY FOR AROUND 800-MILLION DOLLARS. MAJOR LEAGUE OWNERS HAVE TO VOTE TO CONFIRM THE DEAL BEFORE IT IS FINAL
