Jersey golf fans take over PGA Championship course during rain storm (VIDEO)

After the PGA Championship was suspended Saturday afternoon because of rain, and then was called, New Jersey fans did their best to turn the course at Baltusrol into their own private water park.

The Star-Ledger reported:

When play was suspended at 6:35 p.m., marshals headed for cover and no one knew what to do or where to go. [Leader Phil] Mickelson started to walk off the 14th green in the direction of the clubhouse.

Davis Love III, his playing partner, had to steer him in another direction.

"Phil, " he said. "Over here."

He slid under the ropes and walked across the fifth fairway.

Dozens of fans followed him, right across the course, slapping him on the back and tugging his shirt. He hopped into a maroon Buick minivan. Someone yelled, "Can we have a ride, Phil?"

Fans trampled up the 17th fairway, without a marshal in sight to shepherd them off. They practiced imaginary shots and walked through the sand traps.

Retief Goosen and Jason Bohn had marked their balls on the fairway.

"Who knows if someone picked one up," said Rupert Dooley, a marshal from the fourth hole who tried - unsuccessfully - to steer the crowds away. "Idiots."

Weather delays are unavoidable and lightning cells forced PGA officials to sound the warning horns at 2:15 p.m. Saturday, but they could have taken more precautions for the last group of golfers set to tee off.

All the #PGAChampionship marshals do is harass me about taking pictures.

More rain is expected Sunday. So officials might want to offer some sort of directions to keep rambunctious fans occupied — like make a right off I-78 onto the Turnpike and take Exit 7A to Great Adventure.

Angry John Daly throws club into Lake Michigan, retrieved by young fan (VIDEO)

There was another classic John Daly moment at the PGA Championship on Friday — and this one was a doozy.

Playing the par-3 seventh hole, Daly sliced his tee shot right, plunking it into nearby Lake Michigan. He took a drop and once again, found the lake. He dropped another, and splashed that one, too.

Finally, Daly bailed out to the left side of the green, before angrily flipping his iron into the lake and finishing with a 10.

Not to fret. The wayward club was soon recovered by a young man in a boat, who held it aloft triumphantly.

Thanks for the meltdown John Daly. You make golf fun.

Rory McIlroy saves trophy during PGA Championship presentation (VIDEO)

Just when you thought Sunday's PGA Championship couldn't add any more drama, winner Rory McIlroy goes and makes a cup-saving catch after a butterfingered presenter almost dropped the giant Wanamaker Trophy.

McIlroy held on to win his second major in a row after a foursome including the Irish golfer, Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Bernd Wiesberger went putt-to-putt just as the sun was setting.

Lucky there was still enough light for McIlroy to make the one-handed grab.

Lindsey Vonn finds cracks in Tiger Woods' sinking home

Tiger Woods might have finally fixed the cracks in his once-slumping golf game but it was his new girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn — along with the golfer — who found them in his Florida home. And we're talking physical breaks in the house and not in their budding relationship.

While Woods is busy sinking putts to earn his first major win in more than five years this weekend at the PGA Championship, his Jupiter mansion may be getting swallowed up by the sandy Florida soil.

An insider tells Gossip Extra exclusively that Woods' current gal Vonn noticed cracks in walls and doors rubbing on the ground, sure signs of trouble in the future.

According to public records in Martin County, Woods is having a contractor shore up his 10,000-square-foot modern crib. 

"This sort of thing occurs quite a bit in Florida," Skip Barrett of South Coast Foundation Systems said. 

"In Florida, the soil has layers of organic matter that eventually decomposes. Once that happens, many homes start sinking."

A contractor is about to attempt to stabilize the structure by inserting giant screws called “helical piles” as far as 24 feet into the ground that cost an estimated $1,000 apiece. 

The site says a home the size of Tiger’s would require 15 of the piles, but fortunately Woods won $1.5 million at last week’s Bridgestone Invitational, so that shouldn't put a dent in the couple's budget plans.

Two Former-St. John's Athletes Shine This Weekend; While Another Sees The Light

St. John's University had three former sports stars in the news this weekend-- all with different and compelling stories.  Same school, same weekend and three different paths. 

Keegan Bradley capped off the weekend by coming back from a three-stroke deficit to tie the leader, with three regulation holes to play, to win the PGA Championship in grand fashion after a three-hole playoff.  The rookie made a remarkable recovery, after triple-bogeying the 15th hole, to defeat Jason Dufner.  The St. John's grad ('08) was the first golfer to win a major in his first appearance in one since 1913.

The weekend kicked off with the induction of St. John's basketball legend, Chris Mullin, into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday night.  The left-handed Brooklyn gym rat was rewarded for an outstanding college, professional and Olympic basketball career.

In between, there was another sad chapter added to the life of former Red Storm basketball star Jayson Williams.  The 43 year-old Williams is preparing to move from a prison in New Jersey to Rikers Island some time next week.  The former New Jersey Net is expecting to be transferred next Friday after doing 18 months for aggravated assault, then he's to start serving a one-year sentence for a DWI in New York.

One St. John's star begins what looks like a promising career while another achieves the ultimate recognition for a career well spent.  The third can only look back and wonder "what if?"

There is Bradley's bright future, Mullin's exclamation point on his brilliant career and Williams dimmed hopes and broken dreams.

The lanky and enthusiastic Bradley (nephew of LPGA Hall of Famer, Pat Bradley) provided one of the most exciting finishes in a golf tournament in recent years by not wilting under pressure.  His clutch 35-foot  putt to birdie on the the par-three 17 was a shot for the ages.  The 25 year-old charged back with birdies on 16 and 17 and tied the fading Dufner, who bogeyed those same holes, on 18 before winning the playoff by one stroke to take home the Wanamaker Trophy.

The two golfers had to play the 16, 17 and 18th holes again in the playoff-- the same holes Bradley just conquered and Dufner flopped.

Mullin, the left-handed gym rat from Brooklyn got a standing ovation as he took the stage and stood next to his mentor and former-St. John's coach Louie Carnesecca.  The two old friends will always have the Final Four run in 1985 to keep them connected.

Mullin's career spanned four seasons at St. John's and he is still the school's career scoring leader. He was the Big East Player of the Year three times and won the Naismith Award in 1985 for being the best college player in the nation.

After being the number seven draft choice of the Golden State Warriors and, after overcoming his own demons with alcohol and home-sickness, Mullin went on to star with the Warriors and Indiana Pacers.

Mullin was a medalist on two Olympic teams and was part of the original "Dream Team' in the 1992 games.

Mullin took his knowledge and brush-cut from the court to the studio and is now an analyst for ESPN after working in various front-office positions with the Warriors from 2002-09.

The New York native would probably say, other than not winning a championship,  never suiting up for the hometown Knicks was his only regret.

While Bradley's and Mullin's fortunes are looking, and have been shining, bright; it now seems Williams is finally seeing the light.

The former Red Storm center's life has been riddled with legal and personal issues.  It began in 1988, at a St. John's game against Providence, when the hot-headed Williams got into a tussle with an opposing player and then grabbed a fan in the stands.  He was suspended for leaving the bench.

For three years the brutish Williams led St. John's to the NCAA tournament and was selected as the 21st pick in the 1990 draft.  After spending most of his time on a bench with the Philadelphia 76ers, Williams was sent to the Nets, where he languished until a breakout All-Pro season in 1997-98.

An serious leg injury essentially put an end to the forward's blossoming career after the first year of a six-year, $90 million deal.

Arrests for fights and reports of violence culminated with the shooting death of his limo driver inside  his New Jersey mansion in 2002.  After years of legal haggling, Williams was sentenced to 5 years for aggravated assault (18 months with good behavior).  He will now start serving out the drunk driving charge after hitting a tree in Manhattan's lower-east-side last year not long after a suicide attempt where he was tasered by cops in a hotel room.

The jailed Williams, 43, is reportedly attending AA meeting six days a week and teaches bible study while serving his time.

Williams life after college is a sordid collection of foolish behavior compared with the achievements of the other alums tied in with this weekend's St. John's trinity.

Life is a rugged path to walk.  For Bradley, Mullin and Williams,  it looks like there is now a promising future, a storied past and, hopefully, true redemption.
