| Sat July 5, 2008 6:47 pm |
| On a wild day for everyone around him, Tom Pernice Jr. kept it steady and simple Saturday for a 1-under 69 in the AT&T National that gave him a one-shot lead and a chance to win for the first time in seven years.
Pernice seized the lead, but not control, with an approach that stopped just inside 3 feet at the 17th for only his second birdie on a steamy, still afternoon that yielded plenty of low scores...Continue |

| Fri July 4, 2008 10:06 pm |
| Stacy Lewis picked up where she left off 10 months ago.
So did Mother Nature.
Lewis birdied three of her first four holes Friday, then held on for a 3-under 69 at the LPGA Tour's NW Arkansas Championship. Rain again caused problems at the event, which was called off after 18 holes last September with Lewis leading.
Lewis couldn't continue her early run, but the former University of Arkansas star was just a stroke behind clubhouse leader Soo-Yun Kang late in the afternoon...Continue |

| Fri July 4, 2008 7:53 pm |
| Jeff Overton continued his one-week turnaround Friday with a 5-under 65, giving him a share of the 36-hole lead with Tom Pernice Jr. in the AT&T National before storms rained on the Congressional and interrupted the second round.
Anthony Kim, living up to his billing as the next young threat in golf, was two shots behind with four holes remaining.
Consider how quickly Overton's prospects have changed.
He hasn't finished in the top 20 all year...Continue |

| Marino takes 1-shot lead before hometown fans |
| Thu July 3, 2008 8:49 pm |
| Steve Marino used to consider it a treat the few times he played Congressional as a teenager. It was a thrill on Thursday to play bogey-free in the first round of the AT&T National and shoot 5-under 65 for a one-shot lead.
Marino, who grew up a half-hour away in Fairfax, Va., birdied three of his opening four holes, never had a par putt longer than 5 feet and finished off his round with an 8-foot birdie to be in the lead after any round for only the second time in his career...Continue |

| Howell, Love among first tested for anti-doping |
| Thu July 3, 2008 8:00 pm |
| In the 237 times Charles Howell III has teed it up on the PGA Tour, he never had a round end like Thursday at the AT&T National. After signing for an even-par 70, he was handed a pink slip.
Howell was among the first players chosen for testing under the tour's Anti-Doping Program that went into effect this week.
He left the scoring area at about 5:45 p.m., and came back out to the putting green 40 minutes later. He was given a pink piece of paper showing that his sample was valid...Continue |

| Fisher shoots 63, leads European Open by 2 |
| Thu July 3, 2008 6:18 pm |
| Ross Fisher had 10 birdies in a course-record 9-under 63 on Thursday to take a two-stroke lead over Graeme McDowell and David Frost after the first round of the European Open.
Playing without a practice round, Fisher relied mainly on the advice of caddie Adam Marrow, who had walked the course twice.
"He told me where to hit it, where the run-offs were and what clubs to hit. He was pretty much spot-on," Fisher said...Continue |

| PGA Tour begins drug testing era |
| Wed July 2, 2008 6:03 pm |
| Golf enters the modern age of sports with a short walk through history.
The hallway in the clubhouse at Congressional winds past photos of presidents who belonged to the club, newspaper clippings of Ken Venturi's courageous victory in the 1964 U.S. Open, magazine articles of Fred Couples and Ken Venturi winning their first PGA Tour events.
It leads to an elevator, which takes players to the third floor to be tested for drugs.
"It's taken 150 years to test us for drugs," Robert Allenby said...Continue |

| Sun June 29, 2008 4:11 pm |
| Loren Roberts shot a 3-under 68 on Sunday to cap a wire-to-wire, one-stroke victory in the Commerce Bank Championship, his first Champions Tour win of the year.
Roberts had three second-place finishes this year, including last week to Jeff Sluman, but his 12-under 201 total gave him his eighth Champions Tour title, matching his total from his PGA Tour career.
He earned the winner's share of $240,000 from the $1.6 million purse in the event he finished second in last year...Continue |
