Avec pourtant deux adversaires de taille : David Duval et Phil Mickelson. Un an après, c'est l'heure du doublé. Ils sont très peu à s'être imposé deux fois de suite à Augusta seulement 3 en fait : Jack Nicklaus en 65 et 66, Nick Faldo avec Ses victoires aux éditions 89 et 90 et Donc Tiger Woods  Même avec un parcours rallongé de près de 260m, cette victoire en 2002 est presque sans émotion,. Placé dès le premier tour, sa carte son 66 (-6) du samedi permet à Woods de prendre les commandes du tournoi en compagnie de Retief Goosen. Les poursuivant s'appellent Ernie Els, vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson ou encore Sergio Garcia. Mais à la fin c'est toujours Woods qui gagne.

Retief Goosen or 'The Goose' as he's affectionately known is a South African golfing gem. A quiet man, Retief has always tended to let his golf clubs do the talking. And boy, talk they did! In this episode Goosen chats to the guys about the highs of his 2 US Opens wins, his relationship with Ernie Els, life on the PGA Tour Champions, a certain putter named Tracey and, of course, the elixir of life: wine!

The US Open is at Torrey Pines this week. Burke and I start the pod discussing the Korn Ferry Tour on-course fight and arrest this Monday before jumping into our US Open topics.We start with our US Open five year anniversaries that include DJ, Rory, Geoff Ogilvy, Retief Goosen, and Steve Jones. Then we jump into a chat about what players we think in the deepest part of the wilderness right now. We finish up with Torrey Pines storylines for the week and our makes picks which are guaranteed to have a winner...  because at some point we have to pick a winner, right?Twitter - BostonHomer Instagram - StayHomeHusbandStayHomeHusband.com

Miguel Angel Jimenez, Fred Couples, Jerry Kelly, Retief Goosen, Jim Furyk. With that kind of top 5 after the second round of the American Family Insurance Championship, is there a shootout in the cards for Sunday at University Ridge? Gary D'Amato and Rob Hernandez of Wisconsin.Golf break down Day 2 and look ahead to the final round.

Since we started the Podcast in early 2020, this weeks guest has been in our Top 5 bucket list players to chat to. We are thrilled to have the great South African Retief Goosen on this weeks Pod. We chat the early years, the infamous lightening strike & military service with his good buddy Ernie Els. As we build towards the US Open next week, this two time winner (2001 & 2004) talks us through the three putt on the 72nd hole in 2001 which consequently led to an 18 hole Play-off victory over Mark Brooks.  Arguably Retief's greatest win was in 2004 when he took on Phil Mickelson, the partisan New York crowds and a near unplayable Shinnecock Hills to claim his second US Open.  Commonly referred to as “The Iceman”, Retief chats on how to thrive under pressure and we also get his refreshing opinions on the distance debate.

Corey Harris is the head golf professional at the Washington Club in Connecticut. No restaurant? Good, no annual operating losses or monthly restaurant minimums to worry about. No tee times? Even better, you can slip out for a quick nine whenever you please. The Washington Club is well over 100 years old, and is rooted in idiosyncratic tradition. I first came upon the Club upon reading about it in David Owen's article in The Golfer's Journal Issue #4. I was immediately struck by the Headline: 'Your Club's Restaurant is Terrible.' It got me thinking, why must a golf club have a restaurant to be considered complete? Corey and I chatted about the extremely collegial atmosphere created by this dynamic. The Club attracts a wide array of folks ranging from billionaires to Average Joes. They all have one thing in common: a desire to escape the frills and exclusivity of a traditional country club. We also chatted about his career spent playing internationally on several professional tours. Corey offers a sense of how hard it is to make a living playing golf professionally, while sharing tidbits about why it's the most exciting job in the world. P.S. he held his own in a pairing with Retief Goosen and Colin Motgomerie.

An epic debate erupts over the standards of the World Golf Hall of Fame and who deserves to be in. We compare players on the brink such as Zach Johnson, Retief Goosen, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Bubba Watson, and more. We then move into the Sony Open, matchups, and our patented Backasswards segment. Sean helps us close out our 2022 PGA Championship discussion from last episode to close things out. Enjoy!!!

What a great breakdown this was as we talked about 5 tournaments in golf. The main focus was the Fedex St Jude Classic from Memphis, Tenessee. Justin Thomas took a huge three shot victory at 13 under to reclaim the world number 1 that he held back in 2018. He shot a beautiful 65 on Sunday to pull out the huge win. Brooks Koepka had a great opportunity to win just one shot back but hit it into the water on 18 and carded a double bogey. Phil Mickelson, Daniel Berger and Tom Lewis all tied Koepka for second place at 10 under par. Lewis shot 61 66 on the weekend to race up the leaderboard. Brooks goes into this week as the two time defending champion of the PGA Championship which will be held starting Thursday at Harding Park in San Francisco.   We also discussed the Barracuda championship and the first victory on the PGA tour for Richie Werenski. This tournament features some emerging talent and is the fifth consecutive year that a player has won his first tournament here. They use the modified stableford scoring system that rewards aggressive play and is fun to watch.   We then spoke briefly about the Champions tour and the Ally Challenge from Grand Blanc, Michigan. This was the debut for Jim Furyk in the Champions 50 and over tour and he had a two shot victory! He edged out Retief Goosen and Brett Quigley. Canadian Mike Weir also made his Champions tour debut and played solid and tied for 27th.   We then talked about the LPGA tour and the victory for Danielle Kang and her rise to #2 in the womens world ranking. This is the best ranking for an American woman in some time. Her partner in life is Maverick McNealy who finished a very respectable 7th at the Barracuda Championship. He has been having a lot of great results this year and really looked great heading into the final round. What a golfing power couple!   We spent a bit of time looking at the odds for the upcoming PGA Championship major. We will have a full preview on Wednesday so keep your eye out for that one! We will be giving you best bets and some optimal DraftKings lineups and parlays etc.   Take Care,   Love Yah,   Bye for now!

If these two caddies could avoid flying altogether, they would. And it's not due to a fear of flying... it's just that Jeff Johnson (caddie for Retief Goosen) and Chris P. Jones (Jimmy Walker) prefer having "their stuff" with them at all times and coming and going as they please. Johnson and Jones joined host T.J. Auclair on the latest 'Under the Strap' podcast to talk about their lives zig-zagging the country in the converted home on wheels each of them spend a good chunk of their days in. Along with some crazy -- even scary -- instances they've had during their travels, the pair also share some of the reasons you might consider for traveling by land instead of air.

There's nothing like Masters week. And for as long as anyone can remember, there's nothing like this particular Masters week. With so many of the Augusta regulars in such good form in the run-up to this year's tournament, it feels like there's no way we aren't in for a classic. Which can mean only on thing: Bonus Podcast.

Brian Hewitt, Global Golf Post editor nearly 400,000 subscribers, talks about the season's third major, the Open Championship. Brian was saying that the winner of the tournament will be declared the Champion Golfer of the Year. With all the rain in England of late, the golf course will be green and the speed of the greens will be a little slower. As always the weather plays an integral part of the Open Championship and determines whether you are 15 over or 16-under par. Brian and Holly talk about the top 3 players in the World and how they may fare at the Open? Brian has Tiger and Luke Donald in the pool for the top two at the Open Championship.

Todd Lewis, The Golf Channel, calls in to talk to Holly and Rich about the Open Championship.  Todd talks about how Tiger's short game is not as good as it used to be and he doesn't think Tiger will do as well. Todd feels that Tiger is NOT the favorite even though odds makers have him as such.  If the course was faster and firmer, then Tiger would be the favorite. But since it won't be, Todd doesn't like Tiger as the Champion. He still doesn't feel Tiger is at the top of his game. Luke Donald or Lee Westwood's chances at winning their first major. Luke doesn't start well at major championships and Todd feels that would be the key for Luke if he starts well, he could finish well. As for Westwood, Todd doesn't like his chances either because his short game is not great. For the Open Championship, you have to get up and down a good bit. Follow Todd at  (www.golfchannel.com) Todd feels that an Englishman will win the Open Championship. Jeff Shain, Orlando Sentinel/Tribune Newspapers, calls in from the Open Championship in the U.K., to wrap up the Show.  Jeff tells listeners that the weather will be way better than previously expected. The bunkers are penal enough as is with a multitude of them at Royal Lytham, but Jeff says with the rain of late there on top of the type of  sand, bunker play will be heavier and clumpy. Jeff picked four Europeans including Justin Rose, Lee Westwood, Padraig Harrington and Retief Goosen. Follow Jeff on his blog at (http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports-golf/)
