Golf World Monday: McIlroy an easy choice for POY

From the November 19 issue of Golf World Monday: By Jaime Diaz Unlike the argument by sabermetricians that Mike Trout and not Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera should have been awarded the American League MVP, there are no statistics that support anyone other than Rory McIlroy being Golf World Monday's PGA Tour Player of the Year. Related: The best (and worst) shots of the 2012 season The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland won four times -- including a major and two playoff events -- and was first in scoring average and on the money list. Tiger Woods' three wins without a major and Brandt Snedeker's FedExCup victory simply aren't comparable in quantity or quality. Photo by Getty ImagesMcIlroy's comprehensive eight-stroke victory at the PGA Championship put an exclamation point on a season in which he showed a marked improvement in his course management and short game, but particularly and most importantly in his putting. McIlroy also demonstrated an increased comfort with big moments, especially in his surgical and crucial Ryder Cup singles victory over a hot Keegan Bradley. Related: A look back at 2012's four major championships In 2012, McIlroy parlayed awesome physical talent with improved internal and external organization to become the official and undisputed No. 1 player in the world. As long as he can maintain his current upward trajectory against the increasing and often corrosive forces of fame and fortune, it will take something monumental (by Woods?) to replace him as the best in the game.

Video: Long Drive champ destroys simulator

By Alex Myers A friendly competition between long drive champion Jamie Sadlowski and Golf Channel's Gary Williams on the network's "Morning Drive" program got a little expensive today. And its not because the two made a wager. Sadlowski went first, teeing up a ball in front of the studio's simulator. Let's just say the simulator lost: Sadlowski's power caused the ball to punch a hole in the massive screen and made Williams laugh in disbelief. We assume whoever has to pay to replace it, however, had a slightly different reaction. Related: A frame-by-frame look at Jamie Sadlowski's swing Golf Digest has worked extensively with Sadlowski the past few years. Hopefully, his tips -- like the one below -- have helped readers add some pop to their own drives. Just keep in mind, it's probably best to keep practicing outside. . .

Sirak: LPGA pays tribute to a fallen friend

By Ron Sirak NAPLES, FLA. - In a moving tribute to head LPGA rules official Doug Brecht, who died last month at the age of 62 after a several month battle with West Nile Virus, the tour placed a golf cart on No. 17 at Twin Eagles, site of the season-ending CME Group Titleholders, as a reminder of the man who policed the game for 22 years. Related: Golf loses a great friend too soon The tribute is to a lasting memory of Doug for the Brecht family. LPGA commissioner Mike Whan explained the tribute in this email to LPGA players. AP Photo"LPGA Titleholder Players, As I explained in Korea, our plan for remembering Doug Brecht this week is very unique, and very consistent with 'how Doug would want it'. On Friday and Saturday, just after you walk over the bridge on the par 3, 17th hole -- you will see a red golf cart (Oklahoma Red to be precise). The sign on the front of the cart will say "LPGA Rules Official -- Doug Brecht". You notice the OU sticker and Chicago Cubs sticker on the side of the cart, as well. :)) We would invite you to take a quick seat in "Doug's cart" and/or say a little prayer to our teammate, as you pass. Also there will be a silver and black Sharpie on the steering wheel. We hope you and your caddie can/will sign the cart (anywhere you want -- sides, on the seats, tires -- whatever). After Sunday's round we will take the cart to LPGA Headquarters in Daytona, where other staff members will sign as well. Then, we'll give the cart to Steph Brecht (as our gift to her). As Steph told me, there is nothing Doug enjoyed more than chatting with players, caddies, and fans in his cart. As you head to the 17th green, if you are feeling like a quick chat with Doug, or want to sign a little note to him -- please do so. If not, no worries -- we simply wanted to make it easy to do. Best of luck to all of you this week." Mike Steph Brecht is Doug's wife and Oklahoma University is where he played college golf. Oklahoma is also where the Brechts live. On a personal note, I can say my most memorable chats with Doug all took place sitting in his cart. Related: The latest from the CME Group Titleholders The tour was in Asia when Doug died, and the CME Group Titleholders was the first opportunity in the United States for the LPGA to memorialize Brecht. I'm happy to say one of the names on that cart that will go to Steph is mine. Goodbye Doug, I'll keep writing about improving pace-of-play, my friend.
