Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki are in love, and they aren’t afraid to show it.

Rory McIlroy, the world number two and one of the favourites to claim the Green Jacket at Augusta this week, employed a new caddie yesterday.

During the traditional par-three competition on the eve of the Masters, McIlroy’s tennis star girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki carried his clubs around the course. (via The Independent)

I guess the only problem with showing how much they’re in love is that they’re both super f**king awkward, a trait best seen in this “how’s it goin’” puff interview shared by the fine folks at Reddit. Ricky Gervais couldn’t have written more awkward responses for them.

Here, watch it yourself:

I have typed “Agnieszka Radwanska” like, ten times now. I hope that’s right. Agnieszka Radwanska.

Anyway, if you don’t know Agnieszka Radwanska, you’ll be instantly impressed to find that she can beat you at tennis, even when she’s running away from the ball and swinging blindly behind her. That’s what happened in the second set of her quarterfinals match against Kirsten Flipkens, a woman who is not only a great tennis player in her own right, but the name of something I probably owned in the 90s.

The clip is incredible (and incredibly lucky, let’s be honest), so thank you to Shane Bacon for sending it over. You’re my favorite now, Agnieszka Radwanska, and I will work diligently to not only properly spell, but pronounce your name.

Tennis star Serena Williams was hanging out in the gallery at the Honda Classic golf tournament in Palm Beach Gardens over the weekend, and just like everyone else, she really wanted a picture of Tiger Woods. Unfortunately, the golf Gestapo takes its photography rules very seriously, so when Williams busted out her iPhone to snap a picture, one official told her to talk to his hand, because it seems that his face was unavailable at that time.

Needless to say, Williams first stared the stare of 1,000 demons at said official before firing off the meanest Tweet in the history of Tweeters.

Ok at this Golf tournament. Just saw @tigerwoodsI understand NO golf Apparently u can’t take pics. This security for mad and yelled at me

— Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) March 1, 2013

Okay, maybe that wasn’t really mean. I just didn’t actually understand it that well. Williams recovered her composure rather quickly – unlike other times in her young life – and she realized her mistake while noting that tennis players have to deal with constant photography. What’s fair is fair, or something to that nature.

I’ve done a few hours of research on this video, and I’ve decided you can watch it in one of three ways:

1. It’s underwear pitchstress Caroline Wozniacki imitating Serena Williams by putting a towel up his ass and down the front of her shirt, and it’s all in good fun, because tennis ladies are all pals.

2. It’s Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova laughing about how Serena Williams looks, which has a possibly-unintentional “two boney white ladies don’t like how the curvy black woman looks” vibe.

3. The Internet friendly “omg wish i wuz yer towel” response.

However you want to look at it (and I’m not advocating any response in particular) the truth of the video is that Wozniacki did not impersonate Serena’s best quality — winning tennis championships — and that the impression was closer to a Simona Halep thing anyway.

While I was watching the U.S. Open last week, a friend and I had a very serious conversation about one of the most important tennis issues of our time – who is the hottest women’s tennis player of her generation? Ultimately, he said Anna Kournikova in her prime, and I said that was just lazy. Sure, Kournikova was every tennis fan’s perfect 10 for so many years, despite the fact that she just flat out sucked at tennis. And that’s an important thing to me when having taking such a misogynistic stance on female professional athletes, because I actually like to factor talent into hotness. What can I say, I’m a gentleman.

Anywho, I threw a few names out there – (younger) Serena Williams, Mathilde Johansson, Isabella Holland, Caroline Wozniacki, to name a few – and he just kept insisting that it’s a two-dog fight between Kournikova and Maria Sharapova. And he wouldn’t even consider Vera Zvonareva, which is just criminal if you ask me, because she’s the perfect combination of talented and fun to look at, which is also what I require of all girls, according to my Adult Friend Finder account.

Then Sharapova showed up at an airport over the weekend wearing this see-through shirt and I started to see my friend’s point a little more clearly. And yes, I know this is hardly news, but I had a whole post written out about why people need to get off Chris Johnson’s back and let the man get his sh*t together and I deleted it because Sharapova’s bra is breaking news to me. What’s that, Pulitzer committee? You’re sending my award this afternoon. Why thank you.

Last Friday, I was farting around on the Internet when I decided to check out celebrity birthdays, and I was pretty shocked to learn that it was actor Rainn Wilson’s 46th birthday. I would have never pegged him for anything over 37 or 38. Then again, I forgot my own age just a few weeks ago, so I guess I’m not the best when it comes to guessing ages.

Then I stumbled across these images of former tennis player, “Biggest Loser” trainer and girl who had music video sex and real sex with Enrique Iglesias Anna Kournikova in the latest issue of the Russian magazine Tatler. I don’t know what kind of content Tatler publishes – it’s not related to the famous Tatler magazine in London – but from this feature on Kournikova, I am guessing it has something to do with retiree beachwear. Kournikova is only 30-years old – which is strange because I feel like I’ve been worshipping her for decades – but she’s looking a little… tired. And by tired, I mean in her 40s.

Hopefully, these images are just the product of a strange new Russian fad that takes incredibly attractive, leggy blondes and makes them look like they’re attending Kentucky Derby pool parties. If that’s the case, then well done, comrades.
