Tiger Woods wasn’t exactly the greatest host at the AT&T National, rallying to overtake Hunter Mahan to win his own tournament by one stroke.  The day started out with Woods and Anthony Kim tied after 54 holes, but the 24 year old Kim faltered early, dropping four shots in four holes on the front nine, and finished the day with a 71.  His 9-under left him four strokes back of Woods, alone in third place.
Woods’ main challenge on this day came from Hunter Mahan, who finished the day tied for the lead after a birdie on the 18th.  Mahan’s round …read more

The stage is set for a great Sunday finish at the AT&T National, as Tiger Woods and Anthony Kim sit atop a very crowded leaderboard at 10-under after third round action.  The pair are going to be challenged on the final day though, as Cameron Beckman and Michael Allen stand one stroke back at 9-under, and Jim Furyk and Rod Pampling are two strokes behind Woods and Kim at 8-under.  U.S. Open champ Lucas Glover shot a 2-under 68 for the round and finds himself three strokes behind the leaders, still within striking distance.

It looks like Tiger Woods meant it when he said that he wanted to be a “greedy host” at the AT&T National.  Woods followed up his opening round 64 with an impressive 4-under 66 to leave him at 10-under for the tournament.  His 36 hole score sets a new Congressional scoring record, besting the previous record of 9-under held by Tom Pernice Jr. and Jeff Overton.
First round leader Anthony Kim couldn’t capitalize on his terrific opening round 62, falling behind Woods by two strokes after shooting a round of even par for the day.  Former U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk …read more

After winning last year’s AT&T National, the expectations for young and talented Anthony Kim were through the roof.  But instead of tour victories and prize money, Kim has had to endure poor play, nagging injuries, and self doubt.  It seems though that the cure for Kim’s ills is to play at the Congressional, after setting a course record 8-under 62 today to sit atop the leaderboard at this year’s AT&T National.  Ignoring doctor’s advice not to play for the next 4-6 weeks because of a left thumb injury, Kim came out firing on all cylinders, knocking down 8 birdies in …read more

You can never say Tony Romo suffers from lack of confidence.  The Dallas Cowboys quarterback did something most amateur golfers would never dare do–play Tiger Woods for money.  Then again, most amateurs aren’t one-handicappers, and if they are, most assuredly they don’t have the lovely Jessica Simpson cheering them on.  Playing in the pro-am the day before the AT&T National begins, the tournament Woods is hosting, Romo held his own against Tiger (although Tiger did spot Romo two strokes), but in the end Tiger prevailed, leaving Romo’s wallet a bit lighter.  Many other pro athletes attended the event, including Washington …read more
