Luke Donald Tops No. 1 Martin Kaymer at Match Play Championship
By FanHouse Newswire - AOL NewsMARANA, Ariz. (AP) -- Luke Donald spoiled Martin Kaymer's rise to No. 1 in the world by winning the Match Play Championship on Sunday with a performance so dominant he never played the 18th hole all week. Not even the snow and sleet could stop Donald. On a bizarre final day in the high desert, which began with snow covering the fairways, Donald pulled ahead for good with a birdie on the par-5 11th and a par on the next hole, eventually closing out Kaymer on No. 16 for a 3-and-2 victory. The consolation prize for Kaymer is going to No. 1 in the career, which he assured by reaching the ...
Tiger Woods Knocked Out in First Round of Match Play
By FanHouse Newswire - AOL NewsMARANA, Ariz. (AP) -- The slow road back for Tiger Woods took another detour Wednesday when he followed a clutch birdie with a shocking shot into the desert and lost to Thomas Bjorn in the first round of the Match Play Championship.

Moments after he made an 8-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to extend the match, he hit a 3-wood so far to the right that it landed in a desert bush. It took two shots just to get it back onto the grass. After badly missing an ...

Match Play Presents Early Intrigue, Often Unfulfilling Final Rounds
By Mick Elliott - AOL NewsThis week's WGC Accenture Match Play Championship in Marana, Ariz., could be something really special. Or it might not. That's the tricky thing about match play. When competition begins Wednesday with 64 of the top ranked players in the world, there will be all sorts of intriguing possibilities. A few times over the years, promise has even delivered. In 2000, Darren Clarke beat Tiger Woods in the final. Woods won in 2003 by taking down David Toms in the final and won again in 2004 over Davis Love III. Woods defeated Stewart Cink in 2008. Even last year, although an all-England final, Ian ...
L.A. Confidential: Tour Takes Turn Down 'Hogan's Alley'
By Mick Elliott - AOL NewsIt's easy for golf to feel a little romantic about this week's Northern Trust Open. By any name, it's the old Los Angeles Open at Riviera Country Club. This is the course that Ben Hogan all but made his own, turning it into "Hogan's Alley." In the 1940s, Hogan won the Los Angeles Open three times and finished second once. Other winner's over the years include Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Hale Irwin, Tom Watson, Johnny Miller, Ben Crenshaw, Fred Couples, Nick Faldo, Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson. Not bad. And then there's the real history. Riviera is the club that was so Hollywood. Famous ...

Monday Movers: Taking Points at Pebble
By B.J. George - AOL NewsStock Up D.A. Points -- If there's such a thing as a perfect week in golf, Points might have discovered it -- team up with legendary funny man Bill Murray for four rounds at Pebble Beach, capture the pro-am title, become a first-time winner on Tour and earn your first invite to the Masters.

It does not get much lower than that." Watch: Now Reuters reports that tournament officials have decided to fine Woods an undisclosed amount for "a breach of the tour code of conduct."
