Hole in One Doesn't Touch Tiger Territory

Nice moment for Poulter, but No.1 golfer still has no successor

(Newser) - Ian Poulter's hole in one in yesterday's opening round was impressive, but that doesn't bring him to the level of golf's unassailable leader.

Johnson's Green Jacket Revives Putter Company

Small red dot means big business for TN company

(Newser) - The 2007 Masters did more than propel champion Zach Johnson to the center of the golfing universe, it also revitalized a small putter company. The SeeMore Putter Co. first rose to prominence when the late Payne Stewart used their club to win the 1999 U.S. Open but after Stewart...

Hoffman: Tiger's No Superman

Johnson tugs the cape and ends the aura of invincibility

(Newser) - When Tiger Woods flamed out at this year's Master's, he lost more than a tournament—he lost an aura, writes Rich Hoffman. "Twelve times before this, he had led on Sunday and won. Twelve times. Twelve wins. It was a stunning record of invincibility .... Now it is over."

Woods Hapless at Augusta

(Newser) - The Masters remains wide open after Day 2, with an unassuming two-under 142 leading the field.  Tiger Woods is five shots from the lead, a strikingly poor performance from a player most pundits assumed would dominate Augusta in typical unflappable godlike fashion.  Relative golf demigod Phil Mickelson also...
