Tour Players and Fans Gearing Up for the Greatest Show on Grass

Huge Crowds are the expectation at this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open.  It’s the tournament that annually leads the PGA Tour in attendance.  This years prediction is up to 120,000 fans at TPC Scottsdale on Sunday, which is double last year’s final-round crowd.  Even PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem describes the excessive crowds at this event as “unique.”   Dr Mo has three of his players in this week’s field; Zach Johnson who enters with three straight top-20s, Lucas Glover who’s ranked 2nd in eagles with 4 so far in 2010 and Jonathan Byrd playing in his 5th tour event this year.   If you want to receive tips just like the pro’s, be sure to sign up for Dr Mo’s newsletter.

Accenture Match-Play Championship has Olympic Status

                                                                                                      Although Golf fans must wait for Golf’s official return as an Olympic sport until the Rio de Janeiro summer games in 2016, this week’s Accenture Match-Play Champonship has the feel of an Olympic event.  Of the field of 64 players, 18 different countries are represented this week and international broadcast coverage extends to more than 140 countries around the world.   Dr Mo has three Americans in this week’s match-play field;   Stewart Cink has reached the final day in the past two years (2nd in 2008 and 3rd in 2009), Lucas Glover is back after a two-year absence and Zach Johnson finished 3rd in 2006.   Be sure to sign up for Dr Mo’s newsletter and receive his tips that you can use on the golf course.

What You May Have Missed, Round 3: Farmers Insurance Open

Interesting third round pairing last Saturday at the 2010 Farmers Insurance Open.  Lucas Glover was paired with now Champions Tour player, Tom Pernice and headliner Phil Mickelson.  Rewind to the 2005 Funai Classic at Walt Disney World Resort where Glover made a bunker shot to beat Pernice by one shot for his first PGA tour victory.   At the 2009 US Open at Bethpage Black, Lucas Glover won on a Monday finish which prevented Phil Mickelson from his first US Open victory.  Mickelson now has a record of 5 seconds at the US Open.   Probably not a lot of “thanks for your help” type comments between this particular threesome last Saturday.  Be sure to sign up for Dr Mo’s newsletter.   The next edition is about the relationship professional golfers have with getting into, “the zone”.  Including, important tips that you can use to get into your “zone” on the golf course.
