Putting

Putting, we all struggle with it. Reading greens, judging speed, knowing distances. Putting is a game in itself. Putting is so hard it could break away from golf and become it's own sport. Putting wins and loses championship's gives you a lower and higher score. People always talk about training aids tweaking there swings. Well if you really want to lower your score, start getting out to the practice green and work on your putting. If you can control your putting with consistency you will become a much better golfer. I always say practice the club you use the most, your putter.

Rickie Fowler wins first tournament as a pro.

      Former Oklahoma state golfer Rickie Fowler won his first tournament as a professional last week at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club. Rickie's first win wasn't any big name tournament like the masters or the players. But it was certainly a win to be proud of. Rickie came in against a very skilled oponent, Rory Mcilroy. Rory Mcilroy former winner of the U.S. Open was looking to add another title to his name in the Kolon Korea Open. With the golf season winding down there is not much left to the golf season until the president's cup. Which begins in the 2nd week in November. That is the last major tournament for this year, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to win a few smaller tournaments to boost your confidence.
       That must of been what most golfers had in mind about coming into this tournament. But Rickie had nothing to worry about pulling this one out over Rory. With a final score of -16 under, -3 under in the final round, Rickie had a 6 stroke cushion over Mcilroy to pull this one out. This is Rickie's first win since his college days at oklahoma state. While Kim-Ween Meen finished 3rd in the tournament behind Rory, the events defending champion Y.E. Yang finished in 4th place with a final round score of 279 behind Fowler's 268. Not only did Rickie win the tournament he tied the course record with a 63 on saturday, to pull 4 shots ahead of Yang and never looked back. "It was alot of fun. I played well early on in the final round and then I was comfortable over the last few holes. Overall, I enjoyed the whole weekend." Fowler said. "It Feels great to have the first win. I had good control of my ball, I drove well, and I made some putts."

Tiger back in action

Tiger Woods is finally back in action ever since he missed the cut at the PGA Championship. Tiger Woods competed this week in the Fry's.com championship. I myself watched a little bit of the tournament, and you can tell that his swing has changed since the PGA Championship a few months ago. His swing still needs work from missing the fairway and greens multiple times through the weekend. Although Tigers first round wasn't solid at all shooting 3 over 73. He responded with back to back to back 68's through the final three rounds. Tiger finished the tournament at -7 under, 10 off the lead from Bryce Molder. But Tiger can look to the future for next season. Learning from his mistakes this year, he can hopefully bounce back for the next pga tour season.
