Is Kenny Perry the Second Best U.S. Golfer? -- He's 48, yet Kentucky native Kenny Perry is playing the best golf of his career. Perry, who announced earlier this year that he wants to get to 20 wins in his career (he's currently at 14), has put up some staggeringly consistent numbers over the last year that now have him in the conversation as one of the top American golfers right now.

If you've ever checked this page (or Dogs That Chase Cars) you'll know one thing -- I'm far from a Phil Mickelson fan. Far from one. If Phil, who finished tied for 59th at the St. Jude Championship, was a nice pair of Bugatti shoes, then I'm the old Converse that sit neglected in the back corner of your closet.

For me, it isn't anything more than a personality change. Back in 2004, you couldn't have moved me away from the television when Mickelson was charging on the back nine of Augusta like a demolition ball. I loved him. I adored him. He had more guts than I did on the golf course. He took chances. He was a fellow left-hander that left it all on the golf course and never let anyone tell him his style was wrong.

Tiger Does It Again -- The year was 1999. A young kid named Tiger Woods had burst on the golf scene two years prior at the Masters, when he obliterated the field by 12 shots.

The problem was, people wanted results right now, and Tiger wasn't producing them. He was going through a swing change. He had people wondering if that early Masters win was a bit of a fluke. He was struggling to find that magic he'd had at all the U.S. Amateur events.

Then came the PGA Championship at Medinah, where he took down Sergio Garcia in one of the more exciting final rounds of a major championship in the last 10 years.

Geoff Ogilvy Takes Domination To A Different Level -- Back in October, after the Ryder Cup had finished and the FedEx Cup concluded, I wrote up a little "Winners and Losers for 2008." In the losers bracket were the Australians, mainly because Geoff Ogilvy was the only golfer to do anything, and that was way back in March of last year. I'm not sure how much I can motivate golfers (if at all), but his performance at the Mercedes Championship was absolutely dominant.
