THE MASTERS 2008 | Tee shot into the water takes Flesch's hopes for green jacket with it

AP National Writer, 14 April 2008 09:21

Steve Flesch was doing just what he needed to do in brutal conditions. Plod along, make a bunch of pars and hope it would be enough to win. Then he got to Amen Corner. After dunking his ball in Rae's Creek, Flesch didn't have a prayer. The left-hander took a double-bogey 5 at the picturesque 12th hole, where he knocked ...

THE MASTERS 2008 | Johnson lurking near top of leaderboard again at Augusta National

AP National Writer, 11 April 2008 09:27

Zach Johnson got another surprise at the Masters. This one wasn't quite as good as last year's; nothing tops getting your very own green jacket. But it's a good bet no other player had the governor of his home state in the gallery, as the defending champion did Thursday when Iowa's Chet Culver showed up. ``I did not know he ...

It's all about the kids at the Masters this year. First Augusta National officials put the Par 3 Contest on TV.

The guys in the green jackets had to love this. Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum were back home at the Tanglewood Golf and Country Club last week, finishing up a quick round before starting a clinic for local fans. As they walked up 17 - or maybe it was 18, Slocum wasn't quite sure - Weekley came across a dead ...

AP National Writer, 10 April 2008 09:10

Barefooted kids frolicked on pristine greens. Caddies stepped up to take putts for the real golfers. Could this be staid ol' Augusta National? The home of the Masters let down its guard Wednesday and finally allowed the rest of the country to get a glimpse of the rollicking good time known as the Par 3 Contest. Jack, Arnie and Gary ...

AP National Writer, 09 April 2008 09:33

Everyone in the Johnson family was out of sorts. Zach Johnson had a headache. His wife wasn't feeling well. Their little boy was fussy, and he was wearing as many strawberries as he was eating. Then they pulled into Augusta National, and the mood instantly brightened. ``It was like the clouds parted and here comes the sunshine,'' Johnson said Tuesday. ...

THE MASTERS 2008 | Swing change: Els cuts ties with Leadbetter, switches to Harmon

AP National Writer, 09 April 2008 09:19

Ernie Els hated making the phone call. Still, he felt a coaching change was the only way to make some needed improvements in his game. After working with David Leadbetter since 1990, the Big Easy said Tuesday he switched to Butch Harmon as his swing coach because he wanted to ``get a different feel, get different words coming toward me.'' ...

With his school's logo on his shirt, cap and golf bag, Drew Weaver looks a lot like all those other college kids who've been lucky enough to earn a spot at the Masters over the years. Except Weaver plays for Virginia Tech, and proudly representing his school has taken on a whole new meaning in the last year. ``With everything ...
