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.

05:14 PM ET 04.30 | in a playoff with Rory McIlroy, and D.A. Points last year, Rickie Fowler went on a tear. The popular Oklahoma State star from Murrieta, Calif., nearly repeated the following week at The Players with a second place tie, and a tie for fifth at Colonial. After Colonial, Fowler faded on leaderboards, but has retained his immense popularity. Rickie Fowler will tee it up on Thursday at The Quail Hollow Club located in Charlotte, N.C., to defend his 2012 victory on this beautiful 7,492-yard par 72 layout which was designed by George Cobb, and opened for play in 1962. For older fans like myself, you might remember that this tournament as The Kemper Open until 1979. The venue hosted The World Seniors Invitational from 1980 until 1989, and the PGA returned in 2003 as The Wells Fargo Championship.
