Langer/Siem win World Golf Championships

Congratulations, guys. I love Bernhards sentence after the award ceremony: “Luckily, the golfball doesn’t know how old I am.”

 
 
 

A Year Defined by Every Club in the Bag

4-iron
An argument can be made for Woods and Paul Casey.

Casey brought baseball vernacular to golf by hitting the first “walk-off” ace in Ryder Cup history. He used a 4-iron from 213 yards on the 14th hole as Casey and David Howell closed out a 5-and-4 victory in foursomes over Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson.

On one of the toughest holes at Royal Liverpool, Woods holed out a 4-iron from 209 yards on No. 14 at the British Open for eagle that sent him to a 65 and a one-shot lead. Give the edge to Woods, for earlier in the second round, he used 4-iron to chip up a steep slope and down a ridge to 3 feet for birdie on the par-5 fifth.

The Golf Channel has a nice golf year review by the club.

Edit: Another European Tour and PGA Tour review, also by the Golf Channel.
