The WGC-Bridgestone Invitational held last Sunday had an interesting turn of events. With number one player in the world, Tiger Woods playing against Phil Mickelson, what the golf industry believed was the high and only contender to be the next number one player. The game which should have changed the scene in championship golf, failed to provide viewers and golf fans with an interesting ending.
Although Tiger Woods played a miserable game, Mickelson did some what worst and managed to let Woods keep his rank as number one. This week will mark the 250th week that Woods has been placed as the world's best golf player. For Mickelson, it is back to training and competing in the hope that the luck of Tiger Woods ends.

US Open
on June 20, 2010
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell led at the end of the first day of the US Open. At the end of the third round, however, the leader board stands with Johnson at the top with 6 under par. McDowell follows in second with -3, while Tiger Woods is in third with 1 under.

Johnson said "I love playing here. Today was a good day". The two Americans have the home advantage and McDowell has done well to hold on to his position in the top three, saying that he will "make the most of his great position". World number one Tiger Woods trails second place by 2 shots and will need a flawless round to catch up on Johnson's five point lead on him, the 25-year old playing on a form unlikely to hit many bogeys. Indeed, Woods has never won a major going into the last day trailing, but his determined display on the tricky back nine shows that he is ready for a fight.

A three-man playoff at the St Jude Classic saw world No.3 Lee Westwood win his first PGA Tour title in 12 years in Memphis. He joined Karlsson and Garrigus for the four-hole playoff after the latter had thrown away his lead on the last hole. On the par 4 where he only needed a six to win he took seven.

Garrigus' inconsistency continues to be his own worst enemy, and he bogeyed on the first hole of the play-off. The two Europeans stayed level until the last hole, where Westwood took it after a spectacular wedge approach to the green and a five feet hole for the birdie.
This major boost to Westwood's credentials comes less than a week ahead of the US Open starting on Thursday. "I like being competitive before a major championship", said Westwood, " to be competitive in a tournament and boost my confidence".

Chris Wood talked of his disappointment at the final day of Wentworth when he dropped two shots and let the lead get beyond his grasp. As of Thursday 3rd he led in the Wales Open by one shot over Dodt having hit six birdies in his first round on the Twenty Ten course, and stated his determination to not throw it away again.

"I led by two shots in the pretty much the biggest event on the European Tour all season against one of the best fields all season, having to deal with the pressure of leading, certainly going into the last day, I've never had that".
He went on to say that the experience has strengthened him, and that it is "certainly going to help (him) the next time it happens". He is currently two under and nine behind leader Siem.
