Van Pelt's first victory could be the last in Milwaukee
Bo Van Pelt captured his first PGA Tour victory by winning a playoff Sunday at the U.S. Bank Championship Sunday afternoon at Brown Deer Park. Van Pelt, who outlasted John Mallinger, might not be able to defend his title. U.S. Bank is pulling its sponsorship and without an obvious replacement the tournament is on the endangered list for 2010 and beyond.

U.S. Bank Championship: Round 1 recap
Facing windy conditions unusual for Brown Deer Park at this time of year, 64 players finished the first round of the U.S. Bank Championship with scores of par or better. If the wind freshens and the temps drop, that number will also be lower. Brown Deer Park is not a bomber's paradise but instead a tactical golf course that requires patience and precise shot execution. Just ask Greg Chalmers (pictured) and Jeff Klauk, who shared the first round lead.

Can the PGA Tour's Milwaukee stop stay afloat?
This week could easily mark the swan song for the professional golf tournament that has found a home in Milwaukee since 1968. That's a 41-year history. A long, long time. But, the tournament is threatened, and likely to end. Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly, two Wisconsin pros, have a mysterious plan to save the tournament. But until concrete plans emerge, it could be so much whistling in the wind, like many plans to save this tournament have been in the past.

U.S. Bank Championship: July 13-19
In addition to all the usual headaches -- weather concerns, competition with the British Open and a sagging economy -- the U.S. Bank Championship faces a new dilemma this season. U.S. Bank is pulling out as title sponsor of the event, which has left organizers scrambling to find a replacement in order to keep the tournament going for a 43rd year.
