Golf News & Notes - 6/29

-- Augusta National seems to want no one to do well at their course (or maybe it's the fact that Tiger just won his 4th jacket) but they've taken up construction on the course once again. They plan to lengthen 6 holes and create the second longest layout in major championship history.

-- As news of this construction got around, word came that Tiger thinks that changes on Augusta National right now would be too hasty. Tiger would like to see how the current course would do if the event was held with good weather and not rained on like it was during the latest Masters that softened the greens and had a few players under par.

-- After having a terrible tournament at the Open, Annika prepares for match play against former Solheim Cup teammate Joanne Morley at the inaugural HSBC Women's World Match Play Championship. Last week in Colorado, she finished over par in a 72-hole event for the first time in four years, tying for 23rd at 12 over -- nine strokes behind winner Birdie Kim.

-- Tom Lehman talks about next year's Ryder Cup tournament, saying it's unlikely he'd pair Tiger and Phil together. Europe has won four of the last five Ryder Cups and Lehman said he could be a playing captain next year.
