90th PGA Championship Starts Today!
Thursday, August 7th, 2008Last chance to grab a Major title for the season as the 90th PGA Championship starts today! People have seemed to stop worrying about the possible excitement of the championships after 53-year old Greg Norman worked the fans at Royal Birkdale during the last one. So for this week, here are some things to watch for…
Anthony Kim – has adjusted nicely to life on the TOUR becoming a clear contender for the final championship. Self-admittedly immature, his game and maturity level alike are said to be growing “exponentially.”
Rocco Mediate – recovered from his dramatic playoff against Tiger Woods in the US Open and still playing hard for a Major win.
Adam Scott – went from playing with a broken pinky at Torrey Pines to further health problems after he reportedly contracted a fever and sore throat.
Steve Stricker – just changed drivers and hoping that will do the trick.
Jim Furyk – always steady, holding and near the top of the leaderboard.
Padraig Harrington – what are the chances that he pulls off the first PGA Championship title from a European since 1930?
Robert Karlson – the only one to finish in the top 10 for all three of this year’s prior Majors.
Vijay Singh – still riding high from last week’s title, don’t forget he is 4th in the World Golf Ranking and the holds the most PGA TOUR wins from an international player.
Sergio Garcia – long overdue for a Major win.
*Tiger did report to the Golf Channel that he was unhappy not to be returning as defender for the title, and that he would NOT be watching the tournament on TV.
