An Experiment in Scotch

Some­one needs to tell Faldo to give Lib­er­ace his tie back…

Holy crap, B. Dredge, the dar­ling of Ire­land, is 11 over through 11 today, bogey­ing 5 straight out of the gate and drop­ping two dou­bles on 10 and 11. Surely, I could man­age some­thing close to that. Gives me some hope for the com­mon man.

Sweet, Ian Baker Finch just put the kiss of death on Retief, say­ing he’s the man to beat over the final holes.  Really Finchy?  That prob­a­bly has noth­ing to do with the fact he’s cur­rently lead­ing, does it?  I can’t imag­ine why Vaughn Tay­lor isn’t the man to beat. I’m just hop­ing no one men­tions Zach …

I never thought I could bitch about lim­ited com­mer­cials (well, I can bitch about just about any­thing) but one of the issues with lim­ited com­mer­cials is that you see the same 7 com­mer­cials over and over for 5 hours.  I mean, I think Sam Elliott is as sexy as they come but really, I can …

I’m renam­ing Jim Nantz Cap­tain Obvi­ous for the pur­poses of this blog.  He says the most inane things possible.  Just shut up and let Faldo do your job, would you Captain?

I’m sorry but Tiger just doesn’t look right this week.  He’s not hit­ting fair­ways, mak­ing stu­pid iron shots and only his excel­lence from 5 feet and in is keep­ing him in this thing.  Of course, that prob­a­bly means he’ll chip this in just to show me what a dumb ass I am.

Goosen is –4 under today and in the lead, right?  But based on that last flash­back, it doesn’t look he’s been play­ing that amazing.  That birdie at 7 could have eas­ily been bogey or worse.  He can’t keep miss­ing fair­ways and win this thing.  Plus I didn’t take him at 28 to 1 to win …

Ok, so I missed the first hour and a half.  Really, since this is God’s tour­na­ment, you’d think He’d make some sort of deal with Augusta National to make sure the tour­ney doesn’t run on the same week­end His Son comes back.  Just saying…
