China Golf, 中国高尔夫

As Tom Watson walked to the first tee on Sunday the world watched, hoping for the fairytale ending to one of the greatest golf championships in the world. Could he do the impossible? Could the oldest player in the field  win the oldest championship in golf? Just a couple of months shy of his 60th birthday, Tom Watson arguably the greatest links player of modern times was making history again. Going for his 6th open title and 9th major of his career.

But it was not to be, as difficult a day as it was and as well as he played, Stewart Cink comes out on top. Stewart won the championship, no one gave it to him. This open will be remembered for what might have been. One of the greatest performances by one of the games greatest gentleman.

Thanks for the memories Tom and looking forward to many more.

Stewart Cinks the Good Ship Watson — china.org.cn.

This week proved once again that golf is a world sport. For the second time in as many weeks a foreign player wins on U.S. soil. This in no way says that the U.S. players are getting weaker. What it is saying is that golf is by far and away the greatest Of all the sports. It brings people from all back rounds and lifestyles together in an arena that is void of judges and referees. We police ourselves, we play the golf course and not each other (except during match play). The golfer who plays the course the best wins, it is as simple as that. In a world where so many sports and players try to find a way to cheat or get an edge by taking steroids. It is a breath of fresh air to watch a sport which is clean and pure. With roll models like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Anthony Kim and Camillo Villegas golf will continue to grow.

In the words of the great Arnold Palmer, “this is truely the greatest game man has ever invented”

Feng Shanshan

Although the popularity of golf develops fast these years, female golfers in China don’t receive the same reputation as male golfers in China. Feng Shanshan, who has created history as the first female golfer from China to play at the 2007 US Women’s Open at the age of 17, hope to change something.

‘Compared to the male golfers from China, the recognition for women golfers is not there yet. It’s normal because golf is not an Olympic sport yet. ‘ said Feng. It’s her dream today to win the LPGA Tour because this is the best way to attract everyone’s attention in China and raise the profile of female golfers.

Actually, as a young professional golfer, she did quite good in the HSBC Women’s Champion. If you want to know more, please Click Here. Read the rest of this entry »

Ogilvy the winner of WGC

In the 36-hole championship match, Ogilvy won the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship with a commanding 4&3 victory over England’s Paul Casey. Casey, whose match play pedigree includes a solid Ryder Cup record and victory in the 2006 World Match Play Championship, simply couldn’t find an answer. “That was a textbook match play hole,” said Ogilvy, who didn’t even reach into the prickly cholla plant to get his ball, preferring to drop a new one. Ogilvy was 1-up after the first five holes of the morning 18 holes, but then went on a run of winning three of the next four holes to make the turn at 4-up. And he never relinquished the lead as he played the 33 holes without a bogey. This is his second WGC Accenture Match Play title in four years and he becomes the first player to win multiple times on the PGA Tour this season.
