A Behind the Scenes Look at the US Open from the Mizuno PGA Tour Team - Day 1
by Iver Maple on June 14, 2011
Hard to believe that the year's second major is already upon us. Today was a great start to what should be an exciting week of golf and drama!!! The weather was beautiful and many of the 'big' names were on the range and the course getting ready for this years Open. Congressional CC, located in Bethesda, Maryland, looks to be a true test for the world's best golfers. The course is playing exceptionally long and the rough is extremely penal...at least a half stroke penalty if you find yourself veering from the fairway.

Luke Donald gets ready for the US Open
by Luke Donald on June 3, 2011
The second major of the season looms and I’m delighted to be in great form coming into the US Open.I do know a little about the Congressional course. I played there a couple of times in US Open qualifying back in 2002 when I wasn’t exempt. I got through there and that might bode well for me. So I’ve played a couple of rounds there and I remember most of the holes.The plan is, though, to go the week before the US Open, get in a few practice rounds and refresh my memory of the course. It’s a long course, a typical US Open course, ve...

Luke Donald reflects on his win to become the Number One player in the world.
by Luke Donald on May 30, 2011
To come through in those circumstances in one of the biggest tournaments in the world, going head-to-head with Lee, was pretty special. It doesn't get much better. I'm not sure if there will ever be a case where No. 1 and No. 2 in the world are playing off for the tournament, but also a chance for the No. 1 ranking in the world.
