In an effort to keep our golf visitors well informed on what is going on around the Internet, Range Balls is our weekly link dump. Every Tuesday during golf season, we will toss out some of the most interesting things we came across. If you have a tip, e-mail us at fanhousegolf@gmail.com. Enjoy the links.-- We knew Tiger Woods for so long as the guy that won in two ways -- he'd triumph or the other guy would fail. Joe Posnanski put together an incredible read on what happened at Hazeltine National, explaining the rising action of this year's PGA Championship like it was the perfect Freytag's Pyramid, only to have the climax be that Tiger couldn't pull it out. A must read on all accounts. [JoePosnanski.com]
-- A lot of people equated what happened to Tiger on Sunday to "Casey at the Bat." One man took it a step further, writing up his own version of the famous poem, titled, simply, "Tiger at the Tee." [ESPN]
-- Jay Busbee put together a nice list of the biggest upsets in golf history, putting the Y.E. Yang win over Tiger ahead of the famous Jack Fleck victory over Ben Hogan in the 1955 U.S. Open. Check out what others made the cut. [Devil Ball Golf]
-- As much of an individual sport as golf is, there is also a ton of gamesmanship that goes into a final round pairing in major championship. Nobody knows how to pull these strings better than Mr. Woods, but Yang had a few up his sleeve as well. Geoff Shackelford put together a list of interesting moments in the match, which make it seem like Yang and Woods weren't nearly as friendly as what you saw on television. [Geoff Shackelford]
-- And our weekly installment of "was this moment in golf the best in history?" Yang's 3-iron approach into the 18th was absolutely incredible, but was it the best we've ever seen in a major championship? The debate begins. [Wei Under Par]
-- Not a lot of time do we get the privilege of hearing about a Hall of Fame golfer's balls being clean or not, but that happens in these outtakes from a video made by UgMO. Confused? Basically, UgMO is a soil monitoring and intelligence system whose mission is to protect the world's water supply by reducing water usage. They made a video with Gary Player, and circulated these outtakes, which are definitely worth watching. Enjoy. [YouTube]
