Final leaderboard results of the 2009 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard
Tiger Woods hasn’t had many rounds under his belt this year after missing eight months because of reconstructive knee surgery, but he still knows how to manage his game at Bay Hill.
Second-round leader Sean O'Hair bogeyed three of his last four holes Saturday afternoon at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge, but fought his way to a one-over-par 71 and still managed to widen his advantage over most of the field heading into today's final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard.
One shot often can change a round. Vaughn Taylor is the latest proof of that.
With two young children and a third one on the way in June, Sean O'Hair doesn't need any more excitement in his life, unless i8t comes in the form of the golf he produced Friday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard.

The Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard was the setting for a potentially historic photograph Wednesday, as 17-year-old rising Japanese star Ryo Ishikawa - known as the Bashful Prince for his unassuming demeanor - came to meet the King of golf, the tournament host, Arnold Palmer.
His long and arduous comeback from reconstructive knee surgery is not quite going according to plan for world No. 1 Tiger Woods.
He is gearing up for Act 3 of the "Paddy Slam," but Padraig Harrington, winner of the last two major championships, has much work to do before he gets to the Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament.

This began to change in the mid-1980s when a small group of physicians, community leaders, and Orlando Regional Healthcare came together with a vision for a world-class children’s hospital.
