TPC Scottsdale Plays Host to 2010 Waste Management Open

PGA Tour Back in Party Mode in Phoenix Associated Press -

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The party’s on a bit later than usual and with a new title sponsor at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Formerly the FBR Open, the raucous event drew more than a half-million fans last year. A scheduling conflict pushed the tournament back, for this year only, from its usual Super Bowl week date.

Phil Mickelson, who skipped last week’s Match Play Championship for a family vacation, is a fixture at the Phoenix Open and has won twice, in 1996 and 2005. He attended Arizona State and lived for a time in Scottsdale.

“It’s just a special tournament,” Mickelson said, “and I think guys that have gone to ASU and lived hear, grown up here, this is really a neat event. It provides an experience that you just don’t get week in and week out.”

The tournament, in its 75th year, begins a four-day run on Thursday at TPC Scottsdale with a forecast of rain late in the week threatening to dampen huge weekend crowds, by far the biggest on the tour.

The apex of the party atmosphere comes at the par-3 16th hole, where a crowd estimated at 12,000 to 15,000 at its peak surrounds the players as if it was a football stadium. Players walk through a tunnel to be greeted by chants and songs aimed at their alma mater or home country.

The fans cheer the great shots, and in a blatant – gasp – violation of golf decorum, loudly boo the bad ones. It was here that Tiger Woods was showered by beer when he hit a hole in one in 1997. Woods hasn’t played in the tournament since 2001, when an orange was thrown across a green while he was getting ready to putt.

Instead, he opted for the big money offered in Dubai.

“I think it was pretty intimidating at first,” defending champion Kenny Perry said of the scene at No. 16. “… You listen to the young kids in the locker room, and a lot of people don’t come here because of that hole. They won’t play here because they don’t want them yelling at them and stuff.”

But, Perry said, “most of the guys really enjoy it. It’s only one hole a year. We really don’t have this kind of atmosphere anywhere else on the PGA Tour.”

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem called the atmosphere “unique.”

“I don’t think it comes as a shock that we’ve had years where we’ve had some concerns about the, you know, pushing the edge a little bit in terms of the atmosphere that’s created,” Finchem said.

For instance, in 1999 a drunken man hollering at Woods was found to be carrying a loaded gun.

But Finchem said the tournament sponsor Thunderbirds “have done a terrific job in the last number of years” in keeping things under control.

The Thunderbirds, the commissioner said, “have a big event with an awful lot of people, have tremendous enthusiasm for the play, significant decibel levels, but at the same time maintain an atmosphere that the guys can play golf, and that’s not an easy challenge.”

Finchem said tour officials are “very comfortable with what’s happening here now.”

The biggest crowds, topping 150,000, are on Saturday. But a 50 percent chance of rain, possibly with thunderstorms, is forecast for that day, although it could hold off until the evening.

Perry defeated Charley Hoffman to win last year on the same day the Arizona Cardinals played Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. Perry went on to win the Travelers Championship for his 14th PGA Tour victory.

“I heard `defending champ’ all the way from the first tee to the last tee,” Perry said after his pro-am round on Wednesday. “That’s always a special feeling. It’s even hard to win one tournament, and when you do finally get a win at a place, how everybody supports you is pretty special.”

Looking to take that golf vacation again in 2010? Great deals are still available, but book now for the best rates! -

Hawaiian teen phenom heading to Q-School

By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press Posted: October 20, 2009 -

Nothing has come easily to Tadd Fujikawa.

He started the year by going through a Monday qualifier to get in the Sony Open, where he shot a 62 in the third round to give himself a chance at becoming the PGA Tour’s youngest winner. He ends the year by making his first foray into Q-school, where he must get through 252 holes over three stages to earn his card.

Along the way, Fujikawa achieved two milestones that should help him keep it all in perspective.

He got his driver’s license in April. Two months later, he graduated from Moanalua High School in Honolulu.

“It was nice to be done with that,” he said.

Diploma in hand, now comes his first big test.

Some might equate Q-school with his first job interview, although Fujikawa is not the typical qualifier. It has been more than two years and two dozen tournaments since the 18-year-old turned pro.

Part of him is in a rush to get to where he wants to go. Another part of him knows the journey is just beginning.

“It’s really hard to say if I am where I expected myself to be,” Fujikawa said after arriving at St. Johns Golf & Country Club in St. Augustine, Fla., where his 72-hole exam starts Wednesday against a field of 70 players. “I’m very pleased with what I’ve done thus far. But I also wish I could have done more.”

Fujikawa is among more than 900 players who have signed up for the first stage of Q-school, which will be played out over the next two weeks at 13 sites. That group includes the son of Jack Nicklaus (Gary Nicklaus), the grandson of Arnold Palmer (Sam Saunders) and Rickie Fowler, who tied for seventh last week in Las Vegas in his first PGA Tour start as a pro.

For a teenager fresh out of high school, the pressure to perform is nothing new.

At only 5-foot-1, Fujikawa got his first taste of the big-time when he was 15 and competed at Winged Foot in 2006 as the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Open. Six months later, he became the youngest player in 50 years to make the cut on the PGA Tour when he shot 66 in the second round of the Sony Open.

The kid knows all about disappointment, too.

He still had two years left in high school when he turned pro in the summer of 2007. Over the next year, he missed the cut 10 straight times on four tours before he finally made it to the weekend of a sanctioned tournament when he tied for 48th in Japan. Fujikawa didn’t earn his first PGA Tour check until this year at the Sony Open.

The biggest test now is tempering expectations.

Fujikawa made three out of four cuts on the PGA Tour this year. He tied for 15th on the Nationwide Tour, then flew to Japan and tied for 31st without having time to play a practice round.

Odds are stacked against anyone making it through all three stages of Q-school. Of more than 1,200 players who signed up last year, only eight made it through three stages, the youngest of which was 24-year-old Kansas grad Gary Woodland.

For Fujikawa, consider this his freshman year in college.

“Basically what I told him was, ‘We’re not going to evaluate you until you’re 21 or 22,”’ said Todd Anderson, the Sea Island swing coach who has been working with Fujikawa the last few years. “What I’ve tried to stay away from is, ‘You’ve got to be here by this time.’ I’ve told him to figure out what other players are doing and see how you stack up. Have fun and see how good you can get.

“He’s really hard on himself. He has high expectations. And the last thing I want to do is put more on him.”

Anderson first met Fujikawa during a practice round at Winged Foot, and then at Sea Island after Fujikawa missed the cut at a junior event. His mother, Lori, asked Anderson if he would mind looking at her son’s swing. That’s when Anderson realized Fujikawa had spent years trying to figure out golf on his own and doing a pretty good job of it. They worked until dark that day.

“You can’t ask for a better student,” Anderson said. “He’s very open, very receptive and very patient for a kid that age.”

Fujikawa already has gone through an extreme of emotions this year.

He created a frenzy at Waialae in January by making nine birdies in his round of 62 that left him two shots out of the lead going into the final round of the Sony Open, where he shot 73 on the last day and tied for 32nd.

Two weeks later, he sat in a courtroom as his father pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree drug trafficking. Derrick Fujikawa, who said that he hid his addiction from his family for years, received a 10-year sentence in August. The judge set a one-year minimum sentence because of the father’s rehabilitation since the arrest.

“He’s doing a lot better with his life, and I’m real happy for him,” Fujikawa said. “I’m not worried about that anymore.”

His main concern at the moment is being among the 20 or so players who advance from the first stage. Fujikawa has revamped his swing in hopes of more consistent ball flight. He feels as though his game is close.

Being close, though, is all relative.

“Of course, I always want to do well,” Fujikawa said. “But right now is not as important as two or three years down the road.”

The Perks of a Major Winner

BETHESDA, Md. – Your U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover arrived at Congressional just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday. The whirlwind will continue through the British Open, the last of a five-event stretch that began at Bethpage.

As for the U.S. Open trophy, the silver chalice was taken to Sea Island (Ga.) Resort, where Glover spends much of his “off” time fishing and working on his game. He plans to take it home to Greenville, S.C., himself after the British Open.

The perks that come with a major championship also keep piling up. Glover, a life-long Yankees fan (“I liked ’em when they weren’t doing too good,” he said.), is scheduled to throw out the first pitch at the Aug. 26 game against Texas while he is in town for The Barclays.

Both Glover and the Yankees figure to be in the midst of a playoff run at about that time.

Woods plays Bethpage; Mickelson, too

Tiger Woods got a sneak peak at the site of next week's U.S. Open. One day later, so, too, did Phil Mickelson. -

Tiger takes a trip to Bethpage Black

By Associated Press

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – Tiger Woods returned to the Black Course at Bethpage on Monday, tuning up in preparation for his U.S. Open title defense.
 
Woods made a detour on his way home from winning the Memorial in Ohio a day earlier, playing 18 holes with swing coach Hank Haney.
 
Newsday reported that several dozen golfers who planned to play at Bethpage State Park’s four other courses spied the world’s No. 1 player and immediately pulled out cell-phone cameras.
 
Woods planned to return home to Florida later Monday and practice on his home course at Isleworth leading to the Open, which is June 18-21.
 
Woods won last year’s Open at Torrey Pines in a 19-hole playoff against Rocco Mediate. He won the U.S. Open in 2002, the last time it was held at Bethpage Black, and was the only player to finish under par.
 
The Black Course has been lengthened to 7,426 yards since. It features graduated rough that should allow players to reach the green instead of hacking out to the fairway.

Mickelson checks out rain-soaked Bethpage Black

By GolfChannel.com Team

 

June 9, 2009: One day after Tiger Woods played at Bethpage Black, Phil Mickelson is on the course trying to get a round in despite the rain.
 
At 10:09 a.m., Mickelson took three tee shots – there was a crack of thunder on his second swing – in the rain on the first hole with five spectators behind him. Dressed in black rain gear, Mickelson then turned around and returned to the clubhouse without comment.

Mickelson on leave; wife diagnosed with cancer

Phil Mickelson was gearing up for his favorite time of year, working his way toward Bethpage Black and another crack at the U.S. Open before a New York gallery that treats him like a rock star. -

Phil Mickelson was gearing up for his favorite time of year, working his way toward Bethpage Black and another crack at the U.S. Open before a New York gallery that treats him like a rock star.

All that changed Wednesday, along with his priorities, when he disclosed that his wife, Amy, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Mickelson is taking an indefinite leave from the PGA Tour. He withdrew from the Byron Nelson Championship, which he won in 1996. He is to defend his title next week at Colonial, but even that is uncertain. A statement from his management company said his 37-year-old wife would have more tests, though treatment would begin with "major surgery" as early as the next two weeks.

"We see Amy as this vibrant, bubbly mother of three who is tremendously devoted to her husband and family," Jack Nicklaus said. "No one, especially Amy, deserves to have to face the battle that accompanies cancer. But we know that Amy has this amazing inner strength and spirit, and with Phil's unwavering love and support, they will fight and overcome this."

Mickelson, a three-time major champion with 36 career PGA Tour victories, was closing in on the No. 1 ranking held by Tiger Woods. He was runner-up to Woods at Bethpage Black in 2002.

Scott Verplank said Mickelson sent him a text message Tuesday night "and I had a hard time sleeping."

"Every time I've been around her, she's always had a smile on her face. She's always upbeat," Verplank said. "She's a neat girl. Hopefully, it's early and hopefully, they take care of it."

Amy Mickelson is one of the most visible wives on the PGA Tour, a former Phoenix Suns cheerleader who regularly walks the course during rounds and mingles easily with fans who recognize her blonde hair and engaging smile.

They met in 1992, when Mickelson was a senior at Arizona State, a year after he won his first PGA Tour event as an amateur. Amy knew nothing about golf at the time.

"I grew up in a tennis family, and when he told me he was a pro golfer, I thought he worked in the shop at a golf course," she wrote in Mickelson's book, "One Magical Sunday," after he won his first major at the 2004 Masters.

The first time she accompanied him to a golf tournament, the Bob Hope Classic, she figured they would walk hand-in-hand down the fairway and was angry at him for not spending enough time with her. But once she learned the difference between birdies and bogeys, she has been at his side during the highs and lows of golf tournaments.

They were married in 1996 and have three children: Amanda, 9, Sophia, 7, and Evan, 6. Their first child was born the day after the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2., where Mickelson carried a pager and promised to leave if his wife went into labor.

Contractions began on Sunday, but she decided not to page him because he was so close to winning his first major. Mickelson lost by one stroke when Payne Stewart holed a 15-foot par putt on the final hole. Mickelson arrived home in time for the birth.

He nearly lost his wife during the delivery of their third child.

Sarah Strange, a breast cancer survivor and wife of former Ryder Cup captain Curtis Strange, said Amy Mickelson's outgoing personality would play a big part in her recovery.

"She's such an upbeat person, and I think she'll approach this in the same way, moving forward with confidence," Sarah Strange said. "I'm sure she's getting the best treatment they can find. An upbeat attitude plays such a key role in this, her own and those around her. I'll certainly be extending any experiences I've had, any questions she could ask me to keep upbeat.

"She was so supportive of me being a captain's wife," she said. "In return, she will feel that support from others."

Nicklaus and his wife, Barbara, spent time with the Mickelsons during his four stints as captain of the Presidents Cup team.

"She was the wife I went to for advice," Barbara Nicklaus said. "Amy is just one of those people who simply wants to help other people. Now we need to help her."

How much golf Mickelson misses this summer is uncertain, but it comes at a time when Woods, his chief rival, returned from eight months away with knee surgery. They played together in the final round of the Masters and practically stole the show with an exciting charge up the leaderboard. Mickelson finished one shot ahead of Woods, but three shots out of the playoff won by Angel Cabrera.

Olazabal elected to World Golf Hall of Fame

Two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal was elected on the International ballot and will be part of the 2009 Hall of Fame Class that also includes Lanny Wadkins and Christy O'Connor. -

Two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal has been elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Olazabal, Masters champ in 1994 and 1999, was elected on the International ballot and will be part of the 2009 Hall of Fame Class that also includes Lanny Wadkins and Christy O'Connor. Wadkins was elected through the PGA Tour ballot, while O'Connor was selected in the Veterans Category.

"I am delighted with this news," Olazabal said in a statement. "Only a small group of people are privileged to be in the World Golf Hall of Fame and I have a huge respect for all the players already there.

"There are huge, huge players in the Hall of Fame, legends such as Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and many, many other greats. I am just thrilled that I am going to be just a little part of this."

Olazabal will be the second Spaniard in the Hall, following in the footsteps of good friend Seve Ballesteros. The two were a potent team in Ryder Cup play for Europe, posting an 11-2-2 mark in their 15 matches together.

"I am particularly happy to follow Seve's footsteps into the Hall of Fame," Olazabal added. "He opened so many doors for us and we owe him a huge debt."

In addition to his Masters titles, Olazabal has four other U.S. PGA Tour wins and 21 European Tour victories. He also won twice in Japan and was a member of seven European Ryder Cup teams.

As an 18-year-old amateur, he bested Colin Montgomerie to win the 1984 British Amateur Championship.

The 2009 World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida on Monday, November 2.

Oh wins LPGA's Sybase Classic, beats Pettersen by 4 shots

Seeing the likes of Brittany Lincicome, Paula Creamer, Suzann Pettersen and Michelle Wie didn't intimidate Ji Young Oh in the least in the final round of the Sybase Classic. -

Seeing the likes of Brittany Lincicome, Paula Creamer, Suzann Pettersen and Michelle Wie didn't intimidate Ji Young Oh in the least in the final round of the Sybase Classic.

The 20-year-old, straight-hitting South Korean went into the final round with the idea that it was her tournament to lose and she went out and won it.

Oh shot 2-under 70 on a raw, cold, windy day — the second best final round — and benefited from a couple of mistakes by Pettersen on the back nine to capture the $2 million event by four shots with a 14-under total.

It was her second win on the LPGA Tour, coming less than a year after winning the State Farm Classic in Illinois.

"At the State Farm I didn't expect to win that tournament, the opportunity presented itself to me," she said through an interpreter. "I played with a lot of great players (in this event) and from the first day when I made that hole-in-one I knew that trophy was waiting for me and I needed to do everything in my power to win this tournament."

"I really wanted it badly and there was no way I wasn't going to get it," Oh added.

Oh started the round tied with Pettersen for the lead with Lincicome one shot back, and Wie and Creamer three behind.

Wie, the 19-year-old phenom who is still seeking her first LPGA win, and Creamer never challenged. Both hit into the water on the par-5 fifth hole, and Wie did it again in taking a double bogey at No. 12. They finished tied for third at 8-under on the Upper Montclair Country Club.

Lincicome, who won the Kraft Nabisco Championship last month for her first title, struggled all day with her putting and finished at 6-under at a 77.

That left Oh and Petersen to battle for the $300,000 top prize.

Pettersen bogeyed the first two holes and fell three behind after three holes. However, the 28-year-old Norwegian, who now has five top-10 finishes this year, made up the difference with a 5-foot birdie at No. 6 and bogeys by Oh at the eighth and 10th holes.

A bad drive by Pettersen on the dogleg, 408-yard 12th hole led to a bogey and gave Oh the lead for good.

Pettersen missed birdie putts in the 15-foot range on the next four holes, and then handed Oh the tournament when she missed a 2-foot tap-in on No. 17. The margin grew to four shots when Oh rolled in a 7-foot birdie on the 72nd hole and Pettersen bogeyed after another bad drive.

"To win golf tournaments you need to make putts when you really need to," Pettersen said. "Today wasn't that day."

It was for Oh. Despite trailing playing partners Lincicome and Pettersen by 50 yards on most drives, she showed a steady iron game, hit her rescue club well on long second shots and displayed a great short game.

She save par on the fourth hole with a bunker shot that rolled into the pin and dribbled 2 feet away. She sank a 15-foot putt for par on the ninth hole from a hole-high location on the fringe. She also lagged close for tap-ins at least a half dozen times.

"I was so nervous but after the first few holes I became really calm and just thought about my game and just good shots and good putts," said Oh, whose best previous finish this year was a tie for sixth in the Mastercard Classic. Her other finishes this year were in the 30s and 40s.

Oh refused to rank herself among the South Koreans on tour, saying she felt she was very good player.

Wie had chance to get going early but she missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the first hole. She had a couple of good par-saving putts on the next three holes, but her end started when she dumped a shot from 165 yards into the pond in front of No. 5.

"I putted well today and drove the ball well," Wie said. "If I could have hit a couple of irons better than it would have been a different story."

Creamer said the day was a struggle.

"No one did anything out there," she said. "It was just a matter of who could make pars."

Three-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa, who was trying to join Annika Sorenstam and Laura Davies as the only LPGA players to win an event four straight years, finished at 1-under.

"I was just not on my best game this week," Ochoa said. "I never got a good momentum, never felt comfortable out there. It was just a struggle. It's OK. That's just the way it is sometimes and I am happy."
