Alabama learns from 2011 stumble, takes Day 2 lead at NCAAs

golfdigest.com — FRANKLIN, TENN.--What a difference a year makes. At the 2011 NCAA Women's Championship, Alabama arrived as a favorite to claim the team title only to be out of the hunt after just 36 holes, the Crimson Tide shooting a 28-over 604 to put them 20 strokes back of the lead after two rounds.
Which team went from headscratching after 36 holes of NCAAs in 2011, to an 11-stroke lead after 36 holes in 2012? http://t.co/Odq7aQkq

Sirak: Tiger Woods should put Colonial on his schedule

golfdigest.com — FORT WORTH, Texas -- The first time I covered the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial was in 1997 when it was known as the MasterCard Colonial, the best player in the world was Tiger Woods and I was the golf writer for The Associated Press. A lot has changed since then.

Stingers: Hey Sergio, snap out of it!

golfdigest.com — Eleven years ago, a 21-year-old Sergio Garcia was taking the PGA Tour by storm, capturing his first win at Colonial less than two years after nearly taking down Tiger Woods at the 1999 PGA Championship. Remember "El Nino"? That affable, fiery Spanish bundle of energy? I do -- and I miss him.

LPGA throws baby out with the bath water

golfdigest.com — "Slow play" has become golf's most bandied-about expletive in recent months, for good reason. A round of golf is supposed to take no more than four hours, but at many public and resort courses, a weekend 18 can take up to six.

golfdigest.com — FRANKLIN, TENN.--What looked like it was going to be an historic day for Virginia at the NCAA Women's Championship turned a little surreal Tuesday afternoon when a scorecard snafu caused the Cavaliers to fall out of first place some three hours after they completed their first round at Vanderbilt Legends Club.

A twist after the tornado

golfdigest.com — "Go deep!" shouts a tall, lanky 19-year-old, squeezing a broken brick with both hands as if it were a leather football. "I'm wide open," yells another kid who looks to be about the same age, this one more compact with tousled brown hair. He's running a fly pattern over piles of rubble and shards of glass.

Costliest Rules Mistakes: Golf Digest

golfdigest.com — As rules "mistakes" go, it's fair to ask whether Morgan Pressel's slow play penalty in the Sybase Match Play Championship even qualifies. Unlike with Roberto de Vicenzo signing an incorrect scorecard at the 1968 Masters, or Dustin Johnson grounding his club in a bunker at the 2010 PGA Championship, Pressel's slow play penalty in her semifinal match against Azahara Munoz was subject to the interpretation of a rules official.
Morgan Pressel wasn't the first to make a costly rules mistake. And she won't be the last. Here's our list: http://t.co/9F6KYPTB

Who is Anthony Kim?

golfdigest.com — In 1996, when Tiger Woods declared "Hello World," and the commercial airwaves echoed with children proclaiming "I'm Tiger Woods" ... "I'm Tiger Woods" ... "I'm Tiger Woods," one of them could have been an 11-year-old Korean-American from Los Angeles named Anthony Kim.
