Johnson, Fowler part of logjam at Glen Oaks

By Tony Jimenez CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (Officialsportsbetting.com) – British Open organisers the R&A have hinted a similar incident to the Phil Mickelson controversy from last month’s U.S. Open could lead to disqualification in golf’s oldest major at Carnoustie this week. The 48-year-old American was out of title contention when he deliberately prevented his ball from rolling off the 13th green at Shinnecock Hills by running after it and hitting it back towards the hole. “I have talked to Phil since he’s been here this week,” R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers told reporters on Wednesday.

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — In her 18th year on tour, after a wild and tearful final few holes, Angela Stanford became a major tournament champion Sunday. It was a long journey to an unlikely one-shot victory at the Evian Championship for a player who believed as a rookie in 2001 that major titles would come sooner than her 40th birthday — and probably not in France. “I would have laughed, ‘No way, it’s going to happen before’,” said Stanford, whose runner-up finish at the 2003 U.S. Women’s Open was the first of 13 top-10s in majors without a win.
