Natalie Gulbis at a recent skills challenge. Zach Johnson looks on. (Photos courtesy of RSM McGladrey) NATALIE GULBIS IS ONE of the most recognizable female golfers on the planet. Only 26, Natalie is completing her eighth season on the LPGA Tour. Yes, eight seasons. It’s kind of hard to believe. Natalie has won one LPGA title and played on three victorious U.S. Solheim Cup teams. She has five...

When Zach Johnson missed the cut by a shot at the 2006 PGA Championship, he thought he'd blown his chance at making the U.S. Ryder Cup team. That night, before joining his family for dinner, he sat in a restaurant parking lot trying to muster the resolve to exit the car. Johnson was miserable. (He made the team anyway and was a rare bright spot.)

CHRIS DIMARCO IS THROWING golf balls on the practice range of Pinehurst No. 2 on Monday. He is trying to hit a small pane of glass stamped with a PGA of America logo that is perched on a metal stand about 30 yards away. The object of this part of the skills challenge is to hit a low bullet-like shot that shatters the glass. (Maybe you’ve seen this stunt on the Golf Channel.) Fellow tour pros...

Pouring putts into the cup almost at will, South Africa's Tim Clark raced five up by the turn before fending off a rally by America's Zach Johnson.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Zach Johnson lay spread-eagled on the 15th green, flat on his back after South Africa's Tim Clark holed yet another putt for yet another birdie. Call it a comedic compliment, because Johnson made five birdies on the back nine, including one at the 15th moments earlier, but Clark finished with seven straight 3s to deliver a knockout blow to Johnson, 4 and 3.

Oh dear. I fear the worst here. The Internationals need to win 8 of the 12 singles matches on the final day of the 2009 Presidents Cup to win.

For the Internationals to win, and for me to win my Presidents Cup wager with One Eyed Golfer , here's 10 things which need to happen. Angel...

There's a few more things Aussie Golfer would like to highlight before this week's Presidents Cup gets underway. I've always found the Presidents Cup format puzzling. IT differs from the Ryder Cup with four days of play and many more matches enabling all players on the course at once, except for Saturday. We have five morning matches and five afternoon matches. With 12 players on each team, two from...
