05:07 PM ET 05.20 | Jennifer Johnson was able to pick up her first LPGA victory yesterday. Other than bogeys on the first two holes in the first two days, she played very steady golf. Jennifer Johnson came out of nowhere on Sunday, and picked up her first win on the tour. She fired a seven-under par 65 in the final round, and picked up a much-needed $180,000 for her effort. She had a problem with the par-four fifth hole during the weekend, but back-to-back 65s will most generally win you a golf tournament.

11:37 AM ET 05.17 | Keegan Bradley got hot on Thursday morning and fired an opening round 10-under par 60 at The HP Byron Nelson Championship. The score was good for a new course record at TPC Four Seasons Resort which was previously 61 set by Charlie Rymer in 1996, and followed by Justin Leonard in 2001, and Cameron Beckman in 2010. Bradley's opening-round score ties older tournament records of 60 set in 1957 by Sam Snead in the second round at Glen Lakes, and Arron Oberholser who shot a 60 in the second round at Cottonwood Valley. Keegan opened up in the morning session on the back nine, and took advantage of the overnight moisture on the green. He won his first PGA Tour event here in 2011.

06:05 PM ET 05.08 | Tiger Woods didn't win another Green Jacket at the Masters this year, but he didn't come away without making headlines. Before the weekend could even start, there was drama surrounding Woods and a controversial ball drop that threatened to see him disqualified but ended up only costing him a few strokes. Jokes were made about the ex of Woods' new Lindsey Vonn reporting Woods to USGA officials as it was revealed that a caller watching at home or from a monitor somewhere called in and assisted officials in pointing out the violation on the part of Woods. While it's a bizarre moment, Woods took a time to give a variation of the snitches get stitches slogan, saying he'd never call in and report a golfer for a violation he saw, whether it be at home on the TV, live on the course or in a different sport.

04:28 PM ET 05.06 | The Kingsmill Championship has traditionally provded fans with a great finish on the LPGA Tour, and Sunday's finale didn't disappoint. Not only did we have a dogfight down the stretch that went into extra holes, but a nice blend of championship caliber players making a run at the lead as well. It didn't take nine holes, and two days as it did last year at The River Course at Kingsmill in Williamsburg, Va., to identify a winner, but it did take two extra holes on Sunday afternoon to find a champion. LPGA veteran, and 12th ranked Cristie Kerr lost a two-stroke advantage that she started the day with to Rolex fifth ranked Suzann Pettersen during regulation play, but would prevail on the second hole to log her 16th LPGA title, and her third at The Kingsmill.
