News Grab-Bag: 3/20/2015

- Another week, another group of people offering their insights into Tiger Woods and his struggles. The first is Sean O'Hair, who says that Tiger looks "lost." O'Hair said that Woods' head might be clouded, which is part of the reason why he is struggling. O'Hair can speak from personal experience, as he was one of the best young golfers on Tour until personal life issues caused him to struggle in his 30's. The other offering insights into Tiger was Arnold Palmer, who said Woods just needs to practice and regain confidence. Palmer suggests that only Tiger can figure out his own problems, and that he is best served by practicing.

- Best wishes to Azahara Munoz, who will be out of action for at least a month after having surgery on her hand. She was having problems with her hand the last couple events, and it got to the point where she had no other option but to get it taken care of. Munoz's surgery will put her out of the AZA Inspiration, the first major of the year.

- Congratulations to former LPGA player Grace Park, who gave birth to her baby girl Hayden Kim last weekend.

- What is Bubba Watson serving at the Masters' Champions dinner? "Food", according to the defending champion. Watson is remaining quiet on his menu choices, and was hoping to remain quiet on it two years ago, as well, but Sir Nick Faldo ended up leaking the menu on Instagram. I wonder if Bubba will initiate a "no cell phone" policy?

- Thoughts go out to the family and friends of David Miller, former University of Georgia player, who passed away suddenly on Wednesday. Miller was a team mate and best friend of Bubba Watson, who withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational to attend his funeral. Miller was also a team mate of Tour players Erik Compton and Kevin Kisner.

- Thoughts go out to the family and friends of former PGA Tour player George Cadle, who passed away this week at the age of 66. Cadle won the Kentucky State Amateur three times in the late 60's and played on the PGA Tour from 1974 to 1991. He made 160 cuts and finished runner-up at the 1983 Greater Milwaukee Open. Cadle was inducted into the Kentucky Golf Hall Of Fame in 2010.
