Graeme McDowell has had a brilliant year so far and the memories of winning the Ryder Cup will not fade away easily. The Northern Irishman won the Ryder Cup for Europe.

The year 2010 was brilliant for the golfer as he two putted the eighteenth hole at the Pebble Beach and became the first British player to have won the prestigious US open in forty years. He reversed the outcome of the War at Kiawah Island some nineteen years ago after he won the match on the seventeenth hole.

This year, golfer Phil Michelson has had an odd time as he prepares for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Generally he is one of those few two or three familiar faces at this championship, but this year Phil is out on Incognito Drive as former world number one Tiger Woods’ come back takes up the entire spotlight.

A few days ago, golfer Dustin Johnson withdrew from the Humana Challenge because of a back pain.

Dustin withdrew after playing the first 9 holes at the La Quinta Country Club. That week, the no 8 ranked golfer was the highest ranked player in the Palm Springs. Dustin hit an even-par seventy-two on Palmer Course.

In November, he had an arthroscopic operation in his right knee. He told that his lower back is very painful and stiff. The golfer also did not take part in the PGA Tour’s first 2 events in Hawaii.
