[Sports - Golf] Monty says donation was: Not long after winning his first pro title at the 1997 Quad City Classic, David Toms became a father for the first time.He's hoping to follow that formula again this year - either winning this week's Memorial Tournament or possibly the U.S. Open in two weeks - before wife Sonja has a daughter to go with son Carter."She's actually not due until midweek after the U.S. Open, somewhere in there,"Toms said Wednesday."She's got a C-section scheduled for Monday after the U.S.

http://www.golftipsandnews.com [Golf Tips and News] Justin Leonard and Blogging: Justin Leonard has done a few things only a few of the “Great” have done: Multiple PGA Wins and a wire to wire victory. It seems to me he had bursted onto the scene at the British Open a few years ago and like most pro’s have stuggled to put together a banner year. Now, certainly he has played well, but not great. It’s kinda funny, he can play so so, and still make more money than the average income.

I helped run the ShotLink system, a procedure that uses laser precision to track the distance of golfers' shots and the ball positions. After learning "the ropes", I enjoyed the work, the weather, and seeing the competition on the course.

[Thegolfblog.com] The Golf Blog: There's a bright future for the LPGA if the up-and-comers like Morgan, Michelle Wie, and Paula Creamer play up to their potential down the road. They will then join the currently rising stars of Lorena Ochoa and Natalie Gulbis on the LPGA tour as the next generation of women golfers. Don't get me wrong: I love Annika, but the LPGA is really hurting for some drama and personalities that exist, for example, on the PGA tour. Or, perhaps a better comparison, the LPGA needs to be more like the women's tennis tour, with the likes of Venus, Serena, Maria Sharapova, Lindsey Davenport, Justin Henin-Hardenne, Kim Clisters, and Jennifer Capriati.

[Thegolfblog.com] The Golf Blog: ryder cup: hal, your move: The U.S. Ryder Cup scoring system seems just as mysterious as the BCS Championship for college football. Why would Justin Leonard have vaulted from 30th in the standing to the top 10 if he had won the PGA? That's an incredible jump and would have seemed odd, given that Todd Hamilton has won twice this year and still wouldn't have made it.

[Thegolfblog.com] The Golf Blog: Leonard on the Ryder Cup??: Interesting statistic, but not one that Justin wants to hear. The last 6 out of 7 PGA Championships were won by leader/co-leader. The only one that was not...the 2002 when Justin was leading.
