Lanny Wadkins: 'Yesss, a mention in IGWT's On This Day In History...'

On this day in 1949, Jerry Lanston Wadkins Jr. was born. The American turned pro in 1971, his only major championship victory coming at the 1977 PGA Championship. Lanny played for the US Ryder cup team a record eight times, a feat matched only by Ray Floyd and Billy Casper...



All hail King Casey...

Nothing to do with the classic egg cooking technique, the definition of a scramble goes like this: 'The frequency, expressed as a percentage to one decimal place, of the player scoring par or better on holes where the player missed the Green in Regulation.' Now that we're all on the same wavelength, here are the European Tour's master scramblers of 2008...

1. Paul Casey - 64%
2. Robert Karlsson - 63.7%
3. Sergio Garcia - 63.1%
4. Richard Green - 62.5%
5. David Lynn / Wen-Chong Lian - 62%
7. Paul Broadhurst - 61.4%
8. Christian Cevaer - 61.3%
9. Maarten Lafeber - 61.3%
10. Henrik Stenson / Padraig Harrington - 61.1%

Paul Casey uses a Nike SV Tour wedge to get his scrambling done on course. CLICK HERE to see the wedge in our equipment section.


The perfect stocking filler...

Who'd have thought there was so much fun to be had with a golf ball, a few sharpies and a bit of imagination, eh? Anyway, if you can't decide what to buy someone for Christmas, why not try a box of Titleist balls? Santa, if you're listening, we'll have a dozen Pro V1s please...

But he's still got a reason to smile...

The latest IRS forms that the PGA Tour has to file annually make for some slightly unsettling reading. If you know of any vacant commissioner roles, drop us an email. We'll settle for a million a year if we have to...

$4.8 million - Tim Finchem, the PGA Tour commissioner's well-deserved earnings for 2007. He pocketed a $1.3 million salary, a whopping $3.2 million bonus and a measly $240,000 in benefits. Benefits? Give us a break...

No.3 - Where Finchem would rank on the 2007 PGA Tour money list - for the second straight year - with his $4.8 million, behind only to Phil Mickelson and, you've guessed it, Tiger Woods.

$400,000 - The heartbreaking drop in money Finchem earned last year in comparison to 2006, which was $5.2 million if you can't do the math.

$710,812 - The amount Carolyn Bivens, the LPGA Tour commissioner, received in salary and benefits in 2006. That's (take a deep breath) $4,489,188 less than Finchem. Something's not right there...

$11.2 million - What NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made in 2007. That's well over double Finchem's pathetic $4.8 million.



Costantino Rocca: ‘Postafazool!!!’ 

On this day in 1956, Costantino Rocca was born in Bergamo, Italy. The most successful Italian golfer of all time, Rocca is best known for one of the greatest moments in Open Championship history; the miraculous putt he made at St.Andrews and the fairytale finish that nearly came of it…
