Bubba Watson takes the 2nd Round lead

We're half-way through the Masters Tournament and Bubba Watson has taken the lead. In round 1 he scored a 69 and was a very close second place, as Bill Haas led with a 68. Watson took the lead, scoring 68 in the second round. 

Bubba is, like many of us, a big fan of the Titleist Pro V1x.An excellent choice from the 2012 winner of the Masters. That's right. Bubba won the Masters just 2 years ago. 

An impressive fact about Watson is that he hasn't had any professional golf lessons. He received a lesson from his father, at age 6, to get started. After that point he became a self-taught golfer. 

We'll see if Bubba and his Pro V1x can make it through rounds 3 & 4 in first place.

Celine Boutier Part of the France Sports Panorma

If you are a fan of anything to do with sports about France, this is a great time. Tennis fans are enjoying the French Open. Say what you will about the hard-court tennis at the U.S. Open or the grass court tennis at Wimbledon, but the clay court tennis at Roland Garros is special. Just the look and texture about the clay makes this annual major something special.

Why I Wanted a Korean Golfer to Win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Midway through the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, I had dreams of K-Pop and the PGA Tour. When Si Woo Kim (Callaway Chrome Soft X) shot a 10-under par in the second round of the tournament, I wanted him to win. Or countryman Sungjae Im (Titleist Pro V1x), who recorded an ace in the same round. I thought it would be great to see one of the two Korean golfers win because of the connection to the title sponsor and seeing the Bibigo signage, TV commercials and logo on Kim and Im’s shirts.

Aaron Rai Masters The PGA Championship

If you had Aaron Rai (Titleist Pro V1) winning the PGA Championship, you are a genius. His odds ranged from 150-1 to 290-1. He showed absolutely nothing in his recent form or overall this year to indicate he was ready to do something big. Yes, he placed fifth prior to the PGA Championship in the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, but that was a tournament for players who weren’t eligible for the Truist Championship. So how could you realistically bet on Rai to win the PGA Championship?
