Sabbatini Stumbles into Woods as Firestone Roars
Posted in Uncategorized on August 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Sabbitini has a shaky 1 shot lead overnight, with Woods in hot persuit.
Tiger made ground with a stoic 1 under 69 to close in on Sabbatini who shot a 2 over 72. Woods could have shared the lead if it wasn’t for his second bogey of the day down 18.
With Sabbatini’s “I think he’s more [...]
WGC Bridgestone Course Review
Posted in Uncategorized on August 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Check out this video about Firestone.
The course is living up to the billing thats for sure.
Zach Johnson took 8 on the par 4 9th today. And you gotta feel for Robert Allenby. Not to be outdone he took an embarrassing 9 on the par 4 18th today. In front of the punters no less.
That’s not [...]
World Golf Championship – Update
Posted in Uncategorized on August 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Incredible changes a minute atop of the leaderboard as the leaders turn for home.
Tiger has vaulted past Zach Johnson to share the lead with Sabbatini. Zach just quadrupled the 9th. Man alive this course bites.
Sabbatini is moving in the wrong direction, at 2 over the card. Not good enough. Tiger’s 2 under.
Mahan is back in [...]

Aaron Baddeley is 4 under after 11 at Firestone. His card littered with birdies.
He hasn’t parred the last here yet carding a double yesterday and will be pleased I’m sure to get it home from here.
Romero is gutsing it out too. He’s two under through 9.
Mahan is 1 over and fading and needs to spark [...]
Grant Waite in Reno Tahoe Open

Crikey dicks. What a difference a week makes.
Waite missed the cut in Canada which wasn’t a surprise.
In the 1993 Kemper Open I think I was his sole supporter as he went on to win and pick up his first PGA title. He’s always promised more but never delivered.
This year is his worst ever. He’s accumulated [...]
Jose Coceres Reno Tahoe Open
Posted in PGA Tour on August 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Argentine Jose Coceres is poised to pounce.
He tied for 5th last year here. But I get the feeling he had his bad round yesterday and will bounce back today with a strong showing. He is looking the business.
He was born in 1963 and is competing against guys half his age. Thats admirable.
With 3 top ten [...]

Luke Donald is having a nice round at 3 under through 16. He carded 75’s thru the first 2 days.
Conditons are perfect. No [...]
