PGA Results: 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational (Week 1 of 2)

PGA Tour Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, Orlando, Florida Saturday was moving day at Bay Hill.  Justin Rose had built up a large lead and Tiger Woods was five shots behind early in the day.  But a charge by Tiger and some less-than-stellar play by Rose put Tiger on top by two shots and the end of the day. Then came Sunday and the rain with high winds.  Tiger played two holes in -1 before the round was postponed until today (Monday).  Tiger brings a 3 shot lead into Monday's conclusion with 16 holes to play. Monday coverage starts at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on Golf Channel and will continue through the conclusion of the tournament.  Will Tiger hold on to the 3 shot lead?  If he does, he will move back to #1 in the world rankings. Champions Tour Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic at Fallen Oak Michael Allen missed a four foot par putt on the 18th hole to give up the lead in Mississippi (love spelling that).  That bogey dropped him to a tie with Bernhard Langer who was some 35 minutes behind him on the course.  But there was something brewing in the air, wind.  Conditions became tougher, making it hard for Langer to hold onto that tie for the lead.  Allen would finish one shot ahead and hoist the winner's trophy a few minutes after Langer finished.

"It's always nice to get a win.  I played great today. I played solid all week and really putted well today. It has its emotional ups and downs -- no question." ~Michael Allen

LPGA Tour Kia Classic, Aviara Golf Club, Carlsbad, California Great weekend for Spain's Beatriz Recari.  Recari finished regulation tied with the very tough I.K. Kim. Kim and Recari squared off in the playoff on hole #18.  Both made bogey and returned to the 18th tee for playoff hole #2.  This time was different.  Kim improved her score by making par.  Recari also improved her score, by two shots, making birdie and recording the win and $255,000 in prize money.

“I don't think I'm any close to calm right now.  It's the opposite.  Every victory is different and this is just amazing and I can't believe it.  It's been really hard work and it's definitely paid off and I'm really happy.” ~Beatriz Recari
