Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson in Top 10 in Golf Last Week

Something happens every week in golf. It's time to document the good stuff, the bad stuff, the great stuff and just the stuff.

From Tiger Woods' exploits to the Stevie Williams/Adam Scott situation to Joe LaCava's new role as Woods' caddie. From what Phil Mickelson will do next to Steve Stricker's shoulder, things happen. Here's what had the most impact last week.

10. Catbirds

Those crazy birds sound either like crying babies or bawling cats. Or are they just cheering on the big cat, Tiger Woods?

9. Bunkers Everywhere at the Lakes Course in Sydney

Whether The Lakes course in Sydney or this week’s Royal Melbourne, nobody does bunkers quite like Australia. 

8. Stevie and Tiger

Stevie and Tiger kiss and make up. OK, maybe no kiss. They’ve moved on.

7. Fuse Signs Tiger

Digging his way out of his sponsor oblivion, Woods signs with FUSE Science, a sports nutrition company.

6. Team Stricker

Steve Stricker is healthy enough to play the Presidents Cup. That’s great news for Tiger Woods, who is still having a few problems getting putts to drop. They are sure to be partners at the Presidents Cup at least some of the time.           

5. LaCava's Smart Move

From Fred Couples, to Dustin Johnson to Tiger Woods. It’s looking like a good decision.

4. Over 50 Set

The 50-year-olds, Greg Norman, Fred Couples and John Cook all make the cut in the Australian Open. Couples finishes T15, John Cook, T23 and Greg Norman, T53. Norman’s play was without practice or competition for months.

3. Tiger's on the Leaderboard at Last

After a couple of really terrible seasons in golf,  Tiger Woods found his way to the top of the leaderboard after two rounds of the Emirates Australian Open. After a disappointing 75 in round three, he came back with a fourth round 67 and hung on for a third place finish. He had a legit chance to win.  Hello 2012!

2. Luke's Wife Delivers

Luke Donald’s wife delivers second child, freeing Donald to compete in remaining European events to protect his chance to make history by winning both PGA Tour and European Tour money lists.

His tweet on the impending baby, an instant classic: “Houston, we have contractions.” 

Sophia Ann Donald was born on 11-11-11. 

1. Newest Hall of Famer

Phil Mickelson, elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame on first ballot with 72 percent of the vote, the highest since Greg Norman was elected in 2001 with 80 percent. Mickelson became eligible for induction when he turned 40 last year.  

“I'm excited to be part of the Hall of Fame that has the names of the greats of the game that I looked up idolizing and many of them that I've had a chance to compete against early in my career, and to be a part of that group is a special feeling,” Mickelson said.
