Read Article on Kim heads pack as Woods hits form » The European Open3 June 2009 (europeantour.com) Christian Cévaër, the World Number 449 and without a top 30 finish in his last 15 tournaments, overcame a star-studded field and one of the toughest holes in golf to win The European Open. After an amazing weekend which saw no fewer than 45 changes of the lead, the 39 year old, whose only previous European Tour victory was the 2004 Open de España, beat England's Steve Webster, Scot Gary Orr and Spaniard Alvaro Quiros by a shot. His winning total of 281, seven under par, was 13 strokes more than Ross Fisher took on the same The London Golf Club course last year - and his 74 was the highest last round by a winner all season. But while Webster and Quiros both became more victims of the 471 yard last when tied for the lead - both carved their drives into the crowd, with Quiros hitting spectators with his first and second shots - Cévaër kept his nerve.

Sawgrass in the Players Championship on Thursday, taking advantage of benign conditions and a generous setup to shoot a seven-under-par 65 that was one stroke better than the threesome of John Mallinger, Richard S. Johnson and Alex Cejka, and two strokes clear of a group of nine tied at 67. The low scoring began early in the day on a course softened by rain from thunderstorms that swept through the area at about midnight. Making the most of the party atmosphere were some players who were not household names: Mallinger, 29, has not finished higher than third in two and a half seasons on the tour; Cejka, 38, of the Czech Republic, had two wins on the tour at tournaments that no longer exist, in 2003 and 2004; Johnson, 32, of Sweden, won last year in Milwaukee and has missed two cuts in three Players appearances.

Campbell hit five birdies over the opening five holes to leap up the leaderboard and looked on target to equal or better the course record of 65 -- nine under par -- before bogeying the final two holes. His opening run was one better than Ken Venturi's four-birdie start in 1956.

Competitors in this Masters, which starts Thursday, include 17-year-old Ryo Ishikawa and 73-year-old Gary Player, and the legitimate contenders include 19-year-old Rory McIlroy and 54-year-old Greg Norman. Regardless of whether Tiger Woods wins his fifth green jacket or Phil Mickelson takes his third or Padraig Harrington wins his third straight major championship — or even if Norman can pull off a Masters miracle — the Masters and Augusta National are on the verge of going new wave. Just ask the chairman.

Woods, playing in his third tournament of the year following his return to action after knee surgery, shot four consecutive birdies on the back nine. Playing partner Padraig Harrington finished on level par after carding three birdies and three bogeys. Jason Gore leads at five under, one clear of Tim Herron and Jeff Overton. Gore birdied three of his last four holes, finishing on the par-4 ninth and putted just 24 times during his round. Woods, who went into the tournament having tied for ninth place at Doral in the WGC-CA Championship two weeks ago, also took 24 putts. He chipped in from 33 yards at the first but shot a double-bogey seven at the sixth and scrambled par after poor tee shots at the eighth and ninth.

Golf Equipment
The driver is generally used on par 4 and par 5 holes where distance is required. The contact portion of the driver is flat in nature. The irons are numbered from two to nine with the contact area varying at different angles. The nine irons are designed with the greatest angle.
Golf instruction also requires standardization. Therefore, the golf ball must weigh 1.62 ounces, be circular in shape and be no larger than 1.68 inches in diameter. Generally, the balls are marked with a brand name and number so that there is no confusion as to which player is playing which ball.
Get the Perfect Golf Swing
It is impossible to truly appreciate the game of golf unless your swing is top notch. Golfers who aren't able to swing consistently spend much more energy in frustration than they do in actually playing the game. Your swing is also important if you play socially, because you don't want to keep your tee mates waiting while you ineffectually swing at the ball.
