Name the Player Alone on the Range

BECAUSE MANY OF YOU have aced “Name the Player” time and time again, there was only one thing to do: try to make it harder. Now I wonder if I have. Take a look at the above tour pro. Does he look familiar? Do you recognize the finish?

Maybe, just maybe, this one is a bit more difficult. No hints. At least not yet. You’re on your own. Who do you think it is?

Paul Goydos Video: The Approach Shot and Putt for 59

I MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED that putt into the pond. I love Paul’s reaction. He seems so nonchalant. Hey, Goydos. YOU SHOT 59!! Can you give us a fist pump like David Duval? Something?

It must be weird to know that no matter how well you play tomorrow you will shoot a higher score. Unless ... naaaah.

2010 U.S. Women’s Open Leaderboard

GolfChannel.com senior writer Randell Mell
Mell says: “Cristie Kerr, coming off her 12-shot romp at the LPGA Championship, is the overwhelming favorite. She isn’t a true bomber, but she’s one of the longest straight hitters on tour. What sets her apart is a velvet putting touch, maybe the best on tour. If she can win this week, she solidifies her legitimacy as the No. 1 player in the women’s game and begins a run to succeed Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa as the LPGA’s next dominant player.”
