The temperature fell all the way to 98 degrees Thursday, but the local weather report said the 'real feel' was 110. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220026 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220026 2007-08-10 18:02:00 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220027 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220027 2007-08-10 18:02:00 Tulsa, Okla. -- This has been a lost year for Arron Oberholser. He enjoyed his breakthrough moment last year when he won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. He's a Bay Area guy, a local, who played college golf at nearby San Jose State. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220028 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220028 2007-08-10 18:02:00 Golf instructors often coach players to aim for a target in the distance rather than a spot in the fairway. Standing on the first tee at Southern Hills, the distant-target options come in the form of Tulsa's skyline. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220029 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220029 2007-08-10 18:02:00 Gary Player loves attention, and always has. He likes people looking at him, and people will look at him this week, as his Presidents Cup team gets decided. Sunday's the last day you can make the team on points. On Monday, he'll announce his two captain's picks to round out the 12-man squad. You can already imagine the drama with which he'll reveal the two names. He remains one of golf's best showmen, and there aren't too many of them left. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220030 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220030 2007-08-10 18:02:00 These are tough times for Sergio Garcia. It has been three weeks since he lipped out on a 10-footer on the final hole to win the British Open, and on the eve of the PGA Championship he was required, once again, to deal with the fallout from Carnoustie. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220031 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220031 2007-08-10 18:02:00 TULSA, Okla. -- John Daly is closer to the playing weight at which he won the 1991 PGA Championship. He looks considerably slimmer and said before his tee time Thursday that he's lost 25-30 pounds, which should serve him well in the stifling temperatures at Southern Hills, home of the 89th PGA Championship this week.In fact the weight loss may already be helping. Daly, who has missed three cuts and withdrawn from one tournament in his last four starts, was 2-under-par through his first eight holes Thursday. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220032 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220032 2007-08-10 18:02:00 You will hear a lot of talk about the heat this week at Southern Hills, and yes, the temperatures will reach 100 degrees. But the heat won't affect the players all that much. Golfers, like other athletes, know how to handle the heat, and the vast majority of these guys are in great shape. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220033 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220033 2007-08-10 18:02:00 As state mottos go, Michigan's is amouthful: "If you seek a pleasantpeninsula, look about you." Lesshyped and less crowded thanMonterey or Myrtle Beach,this "pleasant peninsula"offers the best of those golfmeccas: waterside links, secluded pine-linedlayouts and country-club conditions. Insummer, daylight lingers until 10 p.m. In fall,the landscape is kaleidoscopic with color. Itmay not make a pithy motto, but if you seek apleasant (and pleasantly cheap!) golfexperience, look to Michigan. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220034 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220034 2007-08-10 18:02:00 TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- At times Tuesday, it was hard to tell if Phil Mickelson was a promoter for the PGA Tour or a contender for the PGA Championship. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220035 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220035 2007-08-10 18:02:00 Read full story for latest details. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220000 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220000 2007-08-10 18:01:59 Read full story for latest details. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220001 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220001 2007-08-10 18:01:59 Read full story for latest details. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220002 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220002 2007-08-10 18:01:59 Read full story for latest details. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220003 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220003 2007-08-10 18:01:59 Read full story for latest details. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220004 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220004 2007-08-10 18:01:59 Read full story for latest details. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220005 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220005 2007-08-10 18:01:59 Read full story for latest details. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220006 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220006 2007-08-10 18:01:59 Read full story for latest details. http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220007 http://www.ey3news.com/cgi-bin/goto.cgi?stid=0000000003220007 2007-08-10 18:01:59 While most of the West contenders have been quiet this offseason, the Rockets have proved an exception.
