It Is Still Early


This was an intersesting story, but it's still early so I'll be brief.

If you listened to all the 'experts' you'd have thought Tiger Woods was the only player playing in the PGA Championship.

Today, Tiger was fighting just to make the cut.

It would have been the first time he'd missed a cut in a major, ever.

He made the cut by making birdie on 18, talk about cutting it close with a +4, 144. If Tiger pars 18, his 145 sends him home
early.

This was his 36th major of his career, still never missing a cut, ever.

So Phil Mickelson is the man to beat going into the weekend.

He holds a 3 stroke lead at -8, that would be 12 strokes ahead of the unbeatable Tiger.

I've always liked Phil, and Tiger, but I always wanted Phil to give Tiger a little more competition, instead of the one-sided-ass-kicking that went on for so many years. So I'm rooting for Phil here.

His biggest competition...

I say watch out for Vijay Singh, he's at -3, and there is something about him going into this weekend.

Maybe it's that Phil looks like a golfer, and Vijay looks like he keeps himself in shape.

That could come in handy, 'cause they're gonna sweat. The weather in Jersey is nasty, 90+ degrees, possible thunderstorms, humid as all hell.

Davis Love III is only 4 strokes off, and Retief Goosen is only 6 back.

Phil is my pick, but I still say...

Watch out for Vijay.

Hey anonymous,

Thanks for your comments, by British, you meant 'Great Britain' right?

Golf is generally accepted to be a Scottish invention, so your not ignorant, now that I have set you straight, as opposed to gay, have you ever seen a gay guy play golf?

Me either.

And you may be right that old guys play golf, Tiger, Sergio and Phil are all getting older, but also all took over the sport in their early 20's.

Do be careful what you say, you are growing older each and every day, and what have you done?

The King, The Fu2rman
