To correct the given bibliography according to the 7th edition of the MLA handbook, the following changes should be made:
A. Put the author's last name first in all entries.
For the first entry, "Oberg, Marcus" should be written as "Marcus Oberg."
B. Italicize all the titles of the articles in the bibliography.
The titles of the articles should be italicized. Therefore, "2008 Breckenridge Championship" should be corrected to "2008 Breckenridge Championship."
C. Include the city of publication for both entries.
Since both entries are web sources, there is no need to include the city of publication. Therefore, no changes are necessary in this case.
D. Remove the dates the research was completed on.
The dates that indicate when the research was conducted should be removed. However, the dates that indicate the publication or access date should remain. Therefore, "10 Jan. 2008" and "14 May 2009" should be removed, while "Web" should be retained.
After making these corrections, the bibliography should look as follows:
