Ahh, France. Home of some of the best, and most relaxing vacations imaginable. It has the Riviera, the Eiffel Tower and a museum roughly the size of Rhode Island. Everyone that goes there has a wonderful time.

That is, unless you wreck your bike during the Tour de France, or you are Michelle Wie, who was teeing it up at the Evian Masters last week with hopes and dreams of leaving the beautiful country with a touch more luggage. That was still in the cards after a Thursday 68, but the wheels began coming off after that, and her week ended with a different putting stroke, and a nearly double-digit hole in her second round.

Her second-round 77 was where any chances of a win ended. Wie made a 9 on the 10th hole on Friday, shot 40 on the back and so went another week for Wie.

To make it even worse, she decided to fool around with a putting change during the tournament, something that even Tiger Woods showed was a bad plan at the British Open two weeks ago.

Wie went cross-handed for her

His name is Brent Delahoussaye. There is no chance that rings a bell in your mind.

He has no prior success on the PGA Tour. No wins on the Nationwide Tour. No Wikipedia page. No nothing. Searching Getty Images for a picture of the first round leader of the Canadian Open had me pulling the photo to your right from April, the last time he was updated on the site.

He has 22 FedEx Cup points (the leader, Ernie Els, has 1,751), and has made exactly three cuts in his first full season on the PGA Tour.

But thus the beauty of golf. The Baltimore Orioles aren't making the playoffs this year in baseball, but the bottom dwellers in golf just need a good week to jump up to the top of the standings.

It was a 62 for Delahoussaye, a Clemson product that was even questioned in the interview room, and admitted after the moderator seemed confused on his play today, "No. It's understandable. I've played bad all year, to be honest."

This is a guy that had broke 69 a total of two times all season before

Golf may be you vs. the course, but the end result is you vs. everyone else. That is what we do here with our Devil Ball Power Rankings, a glimpse at who is currently hot on tour, that will run every three weeks during the PGA Tour season. These are the top-10 golfers currently playing, with nothing factoring in except the present golfing world.

1.) Justin Rose: Sure, he missed the cut at St. Andrews when everyone had him pegged as their Open hopeful, but you can't take away his two wins and a tie for ninth in his three previous events before the British. Rose has always been the type of player that could get hot quickly, and his play of late has him at the top of our list.

2.) Louis Oosthuizen: With the idea of "current rankings" in mind, Oosthuizen deserves to be as high as possible. His dominate win at St. Andrews was something reserved for greats like Tiger Woods and Nick Faldo, yet he continues to play well just four days after he hoisted the Claret Jug over his head.

3.) Lee

You can never blame guys for their major championship hangover. After a big win, you have television appearances you never thought you'd see, and people wanting to pull you from every direction. Most of the time the winner takes a week or two off just to handle all the media requests.

That wasn't the case for newly minted Open champion Louis Oosthuizen. The South African who blew away the field at St. Andrews decided he'd keep the train a-rollin' this week and committed to the Nordea Scandinavian Masters. During the pro-am, the fatigue looked imminent for Oosthuizen, who failed to break par during the Wednesday practice round.

Thursday was a different story, and Oosthuizen posted a 5-under 67 to share the lead with Richard Green and Dustin Johnson at the European Tour event.

"I had a good sleep, but I woke up tired again and the win has definitely drained me," said Oosthuizen. "But the crowds were unbelievable, cheering me onto every green and every tee.

"I wanted to play nicely. The

On Tuesday in Wentworth, England, Colin Montgomerie announced who would be helping him out in Wales at the 2010 Ryder Cup.

Monty, the captain of the European team, was happy to bring aboard Darren Clarke, Thomas Bjorn and Paul McGinley, three veterans of this event, to help him out as vice captains for the October 1-3 matches.

While the picks weren't that surprising (Clarke might have been the only one that got people to raise an eyebrow), the funny snub was that of Nick Faldo. Sure, Faldo wasn't on the short list to be a vice captain, seeing as though he was a captain in the last Ryder Cup, but he had announced publicly that he wanted to give Montgomerie advice on what to do.

Monty, not necessarily the best at sharing the spotlight, hasn't answered any of the Faldo calls, and I'm assuming doesn't want to take advice from a guy that got the worst American beatdown since 1981.

The addition of Clarke, Bjorn and McGinley seemed to be smart, safe adds for Colin. Bjorn was an assistant in

Winning a PGA Tour tournament is nearly impossible, so to claim one of the four major championships that are put on each year is a career maker. The problem is, once you win one, people expect you to keep on winning them, not realizing just how darn hard it is. This past weekend, Louis Oosthuizen added his name to the list of one-time major champions when he took down the British Open. Did he make our top-10 list of best one-time winners in the history of the majors? Read on and find out.

10. Ken Venturi: Better known to this generation as one of the voices of golf, Venturi was a great golfer out of San Francisco back in the 1950s and '60s. Ken took home the 1964 U.S. Open at Congressional, one of his 14 PGA Tour titles. Although Venturi was only a real factor in two other majors (he finished second in both the '56 and '60 Masters), he had 10 top-10s in the big ones including his lone win.

9. Fred Couples: Everyone's favorite pro might be the luckiest of all the major winners, when

There isn't an argument for which hole in this world is most famous. We in the States might spit off the 12th at Augusta National or the 18th at Pebble Beach, but none compare to how well known the Road Hole is to everyone that loves the game globally.

Before Open week kicked off, the big talk was the addition of a new tee on the 17th at St. Andrews, making the hole nearly 500 yards.

How did the golfers do at the toughest hole at St. Andrews through the week?

Well, it was once again ranked as the hardest at the British, giving up just 16 birdies all week compared to 173 bogeys, 54 double-bogeys and 14 others.

The hole is a par-4, but it basically plays as a par-4.5, and it seemed to be the one road block (no pun intended) for any good round.

Confused?

Look at Thursday, when John Daly was going about the Old Course in 1995-ish fashion. He was 7-under before he got to the 17th, and a bogey there derailed his cause of putting up a super-low score. That same day, Rory McIlroy was making

For years Tiger Woods was the poster child of confidence. His walk, his golf swing, his fist pumps; it all added up to 100 percent swagger, and no other athlete short of Kobe Bryant possessed it quite like Woods.

The problem these days isn't really with his golf swing or his putting stroke. It has little to do with his course management or his club selection. Most of the issues in Tiger's golf game are between his ears, and he's doing things these days that show the confidence Tiger once carried with him from major championship to major championship has disappeared.

Want a good example?

Look at the putter issue. We have posted numerous stories about the putter change at St. Andrews mainly because it's such an obscure decision from Tiger. This guy changes golf clubs about as often as Glenn Beck defends Democrats, yet he came to a venue he has absolutely destroyed in the past with the idea that his equipment wasn't going to do the job. Three days later? Tiger switches back to old
