Tour Championship Round 1

A lot was made after the US PGA was held in stifling heat of Tiger's comment about fitness being of great help. Well it might be the case in stifling heat but in the storm interrupted first round of the Tour Championship a pudgy, short South African with a pot belly you can rest a pint on nicely showed the way with a blistering 8 under 62 on a course that was playing long for him!

So fitness may help, but hitting the ball well just seems to be more useful. Put the two together and you achieve great things and maybe that's why Tiger is Tiger. But for now, well done 'soft-in-the-middle' Tim.

Lefty Saturday!

I think i was just going to summarise performances after a tournament but since this is the first post in a couple (ok six) months let's have a looksee how lefties are doing.

There may well be more but ones i was going to follow included:

Phil Mickelson, Mike Weir, Eric Axley, Bubba Watson, Nick O'Hern, Richard Green, Steve Flesch, Ed Loar (plays on Nationwide/Asian Tour), Stuart Little (European Tour) and, for the ladies on the Ladies European Tour, Sophie Hunter.

So, Saturday.

Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village - Mickelson withdrew injured, Axley, Flesch and Weir missed the cut leaving Nick O'Hern flying the flag which he is doing quite well currently in the top 10 although currently being outshone by Bubba Watson.

Sophie Hunter looks to be missing the cut at the Northern Ireland ladies Open although her second round was a sound improvement on the opening round. Come back to that in another post.

Right now, it's time to get some food :-)

Phew!

Well i know i'd not posted in a while but it really took a crawl around the far reaches of the brain to sort out the username password!!

Well i'm back to pontificate some having got my first comment! YAY! VJ has commented for Sophie Hunter to say that the card I sent was received.

Anyway, now i've sorted out the password and stuff i'd better sort out what i'm going to write! Well it's not like i'm short of an opinion on anything so i shall sort that out no problem while i'm sat here and there's a rain delay for the Memorial tournament which i'm watching on Setanta.
