As expected, Tuesday’s news that the USGA and R&A would ban anchoring was followed by word that the new rule’s fate may be decided in a courtroom not on a golf course.
Carl Pettersson had just completed his breakfast deep within the confines of the Colonial clubhouse early Tuesday when a large television to his right flashed the news everyone had been waiting to hear.
The decision from the USGA and R&A to go ahead with the ban on anchoring is only the beginning for the PGA Tour.
Yips kept Robert Karlsson out of last year’s British Open. Putting got him into this year’s edition.

World Golf Hall of Famer, former U.S. Open champion and longtime broadcaster Ken Venturi died Friday at 82.
The USGA’s Mike Davis is playing peacemaker in the anchoring debate, while Rory McIlroy makes another switch.
The Tiger Woods-Sergio Garcia incident could have dissolved with a few pleasantries, instead it keeps growing.
Miscommunication continues to be an issue for those involved in Saturday’s incident involving Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia on the second hole at TPC Sawgrass.
Confusion caused by Vijay Singh’s use of deer-antler spray has prompted the World Anti-Doping Agency to review the status of IGF-1 as a banned substance.
Brushing aside a war of words with Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods let his clubs do the talking in winning The Players.
Jimmy Walker has posted the round of the day at TPC Sawgrass, a closing 5-under 67 that was marred by a gust of wind at the penultimate hole that may be a sign of what awaits Sunday’s late finishers at The Players Championship.
Following Saturday’s weather delays at The Players, Sunday’s forecast seems a bit more encouraging.
The rookie didn’t go away, but he didn’t make the going any easier on Sunday afternoon.
Early in his third round on Saturday at The Players, Lee Westwood scraped his hand across a tree while hitting his approach at the first hole.
It’s not the kind of shot you want to go to bed thinking about, but Ryan Palmer had no problems with his opener Sunday at The Players.
The Players title is up for grabs Sunday, but a brewing Tiger Woods-Sergio Garcia spat hangs over the event.
David Lynn’s third-round 68 at The Players was the second best thing that happened to the Englishman on Saturday at TPC Sawgrass.
Jeff Maggert, 49, made only one bogey in a third-round 66 that moved him to 9 under and within three strokes of the lead.
Davis Love III’s biggest opponent these days may be his physical therapist because it certainly wasn’t TPC Sawgrass on Saturday, at least not for nine holes.
When Lee Westwood skipped The Players in 2011 conventional wisdom suggested it was because he didn’t particularly care for TPC Sawgrass. After a second-round 66 left him tied for third and two strokes out of the lead he had nothing but praise for the Pete Dye design.
It was not the finish Zach Johnson would have opted for, two bogeys over his final four holes, but after the season he’s had he will gladly take his second-round 71 at The Players.
No player has ever won The Players in back-to-back years. In fact, there is just one two-time champion (Davis Love III) in this week’s field, but that legacy seems in danger of ending if Matt Kuchar continues to play the way he has for two days at TPC Sawgrass.
After back-to-back 67s at TPC Sawgrass, Tiger Woods is all smiles and in contention to win The Players.
