The course at Dove Mountain, just outside Tucson is covered and officials say that play will resume on Thursday. David Toms had the best quote of the day.

Fighting flu-like symptoms for more than a week, the 42-year-old Mickelson traveled to the Coachella Valley early Wednesday from his home in Rancho Santa Fe near San Diego. He registered for the Humana Challenge, but didn't play or practice at La Quinta Country Club - the site of his first round Thursday - or PGA West's two tournament courses. Mickelson last spoke to the media Monday during a conference call for the Pebble Beach event, where he will go for a record-tying fifth victory next month. ''I have been sick. I've had what's going around,'' Mickelson said. The illness cost him valuable practice time with instructor Butch Harmon in the area, leaving the 40-time PGA Tour winner a bit unprepared as he enters a stretch of five or six straight tournaments that will e Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:19:58 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/mickelson_still_fighting_flu_like_symptoms/12678403 http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/mickelson_still_fighting_flu_like_symptoms/12678403 Mickelson still fighting flu-like symptoms http://www.yardbarker.com/golf/articles/mickelson_still_fighting_flu_like_symptoms/12678403 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/2/0/2096d792c5e737f270907b3d5d8d5f5434483638/mini/Farmers_Insurance_Open_2d98.jpg Before the news broke that Tom Watson would be the next US Ryder Cup captain, David Toms received a text message from PGA of America president Ted Bishop. In the note, Bishop told Toms he would call him soon. So Toms' level of anticipation rose, if not his heartbeat. "I didn't know if he was going to tell me I was the next guy," Toms said Tuesday after a practice round at the Humana Challenge. As it happened, Toms was in a duck blind at 9 a.m. in Arkansas when Bishop rang him up and filled him in on the selection of 63-year-old Watson and the reasons behind it. Let's just say Toms didn't shed any tears. Nor was he that surprised. "I wouldn't say I was disappointed at all," he said, now about a month after that call. "I believe everything happens for a reason. And I've got a lot going on." He rattled off a number of things. He is opening a golf academy this year. He has business interests. He has a 7-year-old daughter, Anna. He has a 15-year-old son, C Tue, 15 Jan 2013 22:15:26 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/toms_still_carries_ryder_cup_hopes/12670006 http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/toms_still_carries_ryder_cup_hopes/12670006 Toms still carries Ryder Cup hopes http://www.yardbarker.com/golf/articles/toms_still_carries_ryder_cup_hopes/12670006 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/b/a/ba173345f469fe19ebb2e0cf16750a51219e3e75/mini/NEC_Invitational_f9b7.jpg The PGA of America is introducing its next Ryder Cup captain during a segment of the ''Today'' show on Thursday. Adding to the intrigue of the announcement is whether the PGA of America will stick to its prototype of a former major champion who still plays on the PGA Tour, or whether it will look farther into its past to find its latest captain. David Toms fits the former category, while there has been strong sentiment for either Tom Watson or Larry Nelson. Nelson is a three-time major champion with a sterling Ryder Cup record. Watson was captain when the Americans last won in Europe in 1993 at The Belfry. The 2014 Ryder Cup will be played at Gleneagles in Scotland, where Watson won four of his British Open titles.

With a 9.5 million dollar purse, the richest on Tour, and a demanding TPC Sawgrass course, THE PLAYERS Championship attracts a stellar field and tests the limits of every player, especially over the finishing three holes. None is more infamous than the treacherous 17th, where finding land on the tiny island green is met with cheers from the crowd and can mean the difference between being a contender or a champion. In 2011, 40 balls found their way to a watery finish. For the golfer who survives 17, the water lined dog leg left 18th hole awaits, and it is traditionally ranked as the hardest hole on the course. Last year, K.J. Choi and David Toms tied at the end of regulation and went to the just the fourth playoff in tournament history. Toms forced the playoff by making an unusual birdie at 18. The playoff went to the 17th hole and both men found the surface, although Toms was much closer to the pin.

Toms and Villegas shot 9-under 63 to top a leaderboard dotted with impressive scores in the opening round Thursday. Ted Potter Jr., Sang-moon Bae, Brandt Snedeker and Bob Estes were one stroke behind in postcard-perfect weather on the pro-am tournament's three generous Palm Springs-area courses. Villegas and Toms both played bogey-free at the erstwhile Bob Hope Classic, which has dropped one day of its traditional five-round format this year. After playing on the winning U.S. team in the Presidents Cup, Toms passed on a hard-to-get spot in the lucrative Chevron World Challenge in December to spend extra time with his family. He shook off an unimpressive start to the new season in Hawaii with excellent play alongside Presidents Cup teammate Phil Mickelson at La Quinta Country Club, which features the tournament's toughest course. Toms also got a boost playing alongside Mickelson, who str Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:32:00 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/villegas_toms_well_rested_and_in_front/9460874 http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/villegas_toms_well_rested_and_in_front/9460874 Villegas, Toms well-rested and in front http://www.yardbarker.com/golf/articles/villegas_toms_well_rested_and_in_front/9460874 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/a/4/a4190d900cb81ffe9bb61e64cf21b8a827c1aab0/mini/GettyImage.ashx_url_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f57002919.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d77BFBA49EF878921F7C3FC3F69D929FD3E8DEA8AD5C3C62040DA3AEE44BA28F16B17D9E47F48326B.jpg DAVID TOMS WENT OUT FIRST and will finish close to last at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, but he’ll be ready to watch his LSU Tigers take on the Alabama Crimson Tide for the college football national championship on Monday night. Playing alone, Toms raced around the Plantation Course at Kapalua in a mere two-and-a-half hours.The LSU alum wore school colors (purple shirt, yellow slacks) during his final 18 in Maui, a respectable 2-under 71, his best round en route to a 4-over total of 296. (He shot 76, 74 and 75 on the first three days.) It should be good enough to keep him ahead of Jhonattan Vegas and tie him with Brendan Steele.Not that Toms is thinking about that. While relatives, including his parents and sister, and close friends will be attending the BCS title game at the Louisiana Superdome, Toms and his wife and kids will be glued to a television screen in Maui.The PGA Tour veteran said he wouldn’t make a prediction about the outcome of the big game, but was “hoping we’...

His tee shot ended up in a divot, but check out what he did with his approach. Not bad, yes? Alas, Toms would fall in the playoff, but getting there was an achievement all of its own.
