BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. (Aug. 6, 2008) - Every time I return to the metro Detroit area where I grew up, the trip includes a jarring dose of reality. And it's no different this time for the PGA Championship. You get here and you realize Michigan - and spe… more »

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. - This year, the pairings in majors are finally getting the thought put into them that they deserve. That Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson pairing at the U.S. Open helped bring out more tournament prehype than golf's ever seen. The… more »
