Oops: Luke Donald congratulates Vaughn Taylor on his “first” win

Published

on

Prior to edging out Phil Mickelson in the final round of the AT&T National Pro-Am yesterday, Vaughn Taylor hadn’t raised a trophy in more than a decade on the PGA Tour. Indeed, as a man without status, Taylor (an Augusta, Georgia, resident) had spent the past three years bouncing between the PGA and Web.com Tours.

Heck, Taylor, as the first alternate, wasn’t even in the original Pro-Am field. Given all this, it’s understandable how Luke Donald was confused as to Taylor’s career victory total with his congratulatory tweet.

With no shortage of Twitterers telling Donald that the win was not Taylor’s first, he offered a hasty correction.

The “W” earns Taylor and coveted invite to the Masters and a two-year exemption on tour. The tweet earned Donald some grief. But hey, it’s hard to rip a guy for praising and congratulating a peer.

    Asking questions are in fact nice thing if you are not understanding anything fully, but this post offers good understanding
    yet.

    Congrats to Vaughn! I remember watching him on the range at Congressional years ago working hard although he’d already missed the cut. We’ll deserved win! Come on guys back off of Luke!

    Luke Donald and Vaughn Taylor both played on the 2006 Ryder Cup, apparently Luke doesn’t remember that far back?

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.

For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • btyh: “Holy offset.”
  • Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
  • bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing

Published

on

As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.

Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

Think you had a bad weekend on the course? At least you didn’t do this

We hope this golfer didn’t take the ultra-premium golf equipment plunge before sending his clubs to a watery grave. Either way, this was an expensive (and strangely calm) reaction to a bad round.
