LPGa TOUR

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — LPGA and tournament officials say the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic will take a year off in 2011 before returning for at least three more years.

LPGA commissioner Mi-chael Whan made the an-nouncement at a dinner Tuesday night in Toledo, Ohio, before this year’s Farr Classic.

Whan says the tournament will take the hiatus because

its organizers will be run-ning the U.S. Senior Open in Toledo in July 2011. They had concerns about whether it would be economically vi-able to stage two major golf events in the area around the same time.

The commissioner said the LPGA has signed a deal to continue the Farr Classic in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 26th Farr Classic begins today at Highland Meadows Golf Club in suburban Toledo.

PGa TOUR

NEWTON SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — Dustin Johnson had all of last week to get the U.S. Open out of his system. He celebrated his 26th birthday on a boat, spoke with Greg Norman about learning from a major disappointment and showed up at Aronimink ready to move on.

So who was the first per-son he bumped into on the putting green?

Justin Rose, of course.No matter where he looks,

no matter where he goes in this game, there is no escap-ing failure.

“You’re not going to win every time,” Johnson said after enduring a 20-minute inquisition on the 82 he shot in the final round of the U.S. Open. “I had three really good rounds. And I had a bad Sunday.”

His Sunday at Pebble Beach was sandwiched be-tween two other collapses on the PGA Tour of far less notoriety.

A week before the U.S. Open, Robert Garrigus stood on the 18th hole of the TPC Southwind unaware he had a three-shot lead. He chopped his way into the water and out of the trees for a triple bogey, then was eliminated in a playoff.

A week after the U.S. Open, Rose took a three-shot lead into the final round of the Travelers Champion-ship. Without warning, a guy looking to win his sec-ond straight PGA Tour title looked more like someone about to miss the cut in his 22nd consecutive tourna-ment. Rose closed with a 75, nearly six shots above the average score, including a 39 on the back nine.

Johnson and Rose chat-ted for only a few minutes. There wasn’t much to say.

“It’s gonna happen,” John-son said.

They at least are in good company.

Johnson’s final round of 82 was the highest in the U.S. Open by a 54-hole leader since Fred McLeod shot 83 at Chicago Golf Club in 1911. It was Johnson’s worst score as a professional. But, ultimately, it was just a num-ber. If he had made that 2-foot birdie putt on the last hole, he would have shot 81. Graeme McDowell still gets the trophy.

Five years ago, Retief Goosen had a three-shot lead going into the final round at Pinehurst No. 2 and shot 81.

Tiger Woods won his first PGA Championship in 1999 at Medinah after a spirited duel with Sergio Garcia. Forgotten is that Woods be-gan the final round in a tie for the lead with Mike Weir, who shot an 80.

Weir won his first PGA Tour event a week later. He has a locker upstairs at Au-gusta National, a seat at the table each year at the Mas-ters for the Champions Din-ner.

“It happens,” Woods said. “And just because it hap-pened doesn’t mean that you can’t ever win again. If he has the talent and the game to give himself that type of lead at a U.S. Open, there’s no reason why he can’t do that again and finish it off.”

Johnson is not the type to dwell on much.

The only shot out of the seven he took on the sec-ond hole — a triple bogey that erased a lead he had spent three rounds build-ing — was the wedge he hit from the middle of the fair-way that caught the edge of the bunker and left him little choice but to take a hack left-handed.

He thinks now he should have been more aggressive, gone at the flag, left himself a 10-foot birdie.

“It might have been differ-ent,” he said.

He’ll never know.
