Singh, 49, is no longer stopping the clock

By John Strege Age will always prevail eventually, but Vijay Singh built a Hall of Fame career on defying it. His attempts to hit every range ball in a bottomless bucket of them was legend and the payoff extraordinary. Singh won 22 times, including a major championship, after his 40th birthday, when the gravitational pull of time ordinarily begins to ground most careers. But now 50 is in sight for Singh, four years have expired since his last win, and the suspicion is that age discovered a backdoor way of imposing reality on him. Singh had a chance to win the Frys.com Open on Sunday, when he moved to within a stroke of the lead through eight holes at CordeValle in San Martin, Calif. Back-to-back bogeys early on the back nine derailed his bid and he tied for fourth, two strokes behind winner Jonas Blixt of Sweden. He clearly still has game; he has finished in the top 10 in four of his last eight starts, including a tie for ninth in the British Open. But his perennial nemesis is suspect putting that he once overcame with his precision with woods and irons. And now even they aren't hiding his deficiency any longer. "Just watch his knees," Golf Channel's Brandel Chamblee said on Sunday, describing Singh's putting stroke from the fringe at the 16th hole. "You see this as players get older. You see the left hand sort of collapse some times, but you'll see the knees just buckle right when they stroke it. That's a sign of a lot of tension, a lot of demons there." Poor putting is capable of eroding the better parts of a player's arsenal by adding urgency to accuracy. Is that the case here? In 2008, Singh won three times, when his ball-striking rescued his putting (12th in greens in regulation, 174th in total putting). Since then, his putting has remained consistently anemic (172nd this year), while his greens-in-regulation stat hasn't threatened the top 25 since and is 73rd on tour this year. First Tiger and now Rory have declared golf a younger man's game, and Blixt is only 28. But the game still has room for its elder statesmen, and Singh, four months shy of 50, is determined to be heard from again before the Champions Tour or retirement beckon. "I'm playing as good as anybody out here," he said two months ago, while contending at the BMW Championship. "So if I can keep doing this and if the desire is still there and fire is still there, I'm going to keep playing here. I think if I lose the edge over here, I don't know if I'm going to even go and play the Champions Tour. But I feel good about myself, my health, my strength and my golf game. As long as all of them act normally, I think I'll be okay." The top 10s will buoy him for the moment, but for a Hall of Fame player who built his reputation on winning, they likely won't sustain him over the long haul. Time will tell, as they say, but it has joined the putter on his enemies list.

Lincicome, Christina Kim in Twitter feud

By John Strege No one is immune from the bad day at the office (or several of them), even when the office is a golf course, as two of the more prominent LPGA players demonstrated in a Twitter spat that erupted on Friday. It began with Brittany Lincicome, who in four previous starts had missed the cut twice, tied for 21st and tied for 60th. On Friday, she took to Twitter to lament her play at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia: Golf is SOOO dang frustrating :-( Can't wait for the year to be over!!!!!!!!!!! A few hours later, in the midst of a rain delay, she followed with this: Rain rain go away!!!!! Actually if it stays around I won't have to play anymore!!!!! :-) Christina Kim, meanwhile, took exception, alluding to the fact that she failed to qualify for the Sime Darby (and other tournaments) as a result of her performance this year (110th on the LPGA money list) and will go to the LPGA Qualifying Tournament for the first time in her 10-year career . Following is the exchange between Lincicome and Kim (all posts have since been deleted), with cameo Tweets from Kim's boyfriend, Duncan French (@Teamfrench23), and LPGA players Kristy McPherson, Nicole Hage and Sophie Gustafson: @TheChristinaKim: "@Brittany1golf Rain rain go away!!!!! Actually if it stays around I won't have to play anymore!!!!! :-)" I'd kill for the chance to play! @Brittany1golf: @TheChristinaKim come play for me :-). You have time to get here. Haha @TheChristinaKim: WOW "@Brittany1golf: @TheChristinaKim come play for me :-). You have time to get here. Haha" @Teamfrench23 [Kim's boyfriend]: @Brittany1golf You no you don't have to play tournaments if you don't want to Britt?? No ones forcing you to be there !! @Brittany1golf: @Teamfrench23 @TheChristinaKim  geez guys calm the hell down!!!! If you don't like what I say STOP following me @TheChristinaKim: @Brittany1golf whoa, easy with the Tone! I'm just saying there are people that would love to play, and it wouldn't hurt to remember that @Brittany1golf: @TheChristinaKim great! It's still a free country. I can say whatever I want! I don't comment to most of your post I'm just tired  @Brittany1golf: @TheChristinaKim it's not a good time to be on my case with the news we just got [the passing of LPGA rules offical Doug Brecht. And I'm sick of people lately comment on my post! @TheChristinaKim: @Brittany1golf of course you can say whatever you want, I never said anything contradicting that fact. I believe in the first amendment too! @TheChristinaKim: @Brittany1golf I am not getting on your case by any means. Please don't misconstrue my stating the obvious as me bashing your tweet @TheChristinaKim: Pardon me? I have to think? My efforts to remind people that we are lucky to play golf for a living should be condemned?! @jerrykessler @TheChristinaKim:  Two nights in a row I hit on contentious topics&lose 100 followers, including @Brittany1golf. Sad to see a friend unfollow due to my opinion @SophieGustafson: @TheChristinaKim Don't worry about it CK! Let your opinions fly cause those who matter won't mind and the once who mind don't matter. @NicoleHage: @Brittany1golf people would kill to be in Asia right now sitting in that delay waiting 4the chance2play instead were home preparing4Qschool @NicoleHage: @Brittany1golf leave it at that #classless @TheChristinaKim: @Brittany1golf I'm sorry if you felt I was on your case or being condescending, there was no malevolence to what I was saying. @KRISTY2208 [McPherson]: @Brittany1golf @NicoleHage @TheChristinaKim come on kids! It's a tough day on LPGA! Not a time to be at each other's throats! #respect @TheChristinaKim: @KRISTY2208 @Brittany1golf @nicolehage I am at no one's throat. I made a comment that was simply misconstrued. I'm sad about this, as well. @Brittany1golf: @KRISTY2208 Trust me I'm not trying to! @KRISTY2208: @TheChristinaKim I get that. And so does anyone else w any sense
