Becca Huffer Finishes Second in Pro Debut!


Becca Huffer, playing in her first golf tournament as a professional -- since her graduation last month from the University of Notre Dame -- was tied for the lead of the Colorado Women's Open on the 17th tee...

Unfortunately, a three-putt bogey from 45 feet on 17, and a par on 18, left her two strokes behind the winner.  Still -- it's a great start to a career Notre Dame fans are going to want to follow.

Huffer heads to the Broadmoor tomorrow to attempt to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open Championship -- we'll let you know how she did.

Orlando Woolridge Dead at the Age of 52


Sad, sad news...

Former Notre Dame All-American, Orlando Woolridge -- the 6th overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in the 1981 NBA Draft -- died last night at his parent's home in Louisiana from a chronic heart condition.

Orlando was one of the greatest BIG SKILL ATHLETES to ever wear a Notre Dame uniform -- with one of the greatest smiles ever in South Bend.  He was always fun to watch play...
