Chasing Tiger at Southern Hills PGA

Mahan X Factor for Presidents Cup Selection
Posted in Hunter Mahan on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Mahan has to finish T11th in the PGA to get a spot in the Presidents Cup. Presently he is in a tie for 44th and not looking likely.
That means he will miss automatic selection and can only get in as a captains choice.
I dont think there’s any doubt that Nicklaus will give Mahan an opportunity [...]
Woody Austin Swinging It at PGA
Posted in Uncategorized on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Woodys putting perfect swing after perfect swing together with his irons.
The last 3 holes he has flushed every approach. Great rhthym, sweet as a pea. He’s right in the zone and playing in a dream.
With a hole to play he’s 2 under for the day after rounds of 68 and 70, and 4 under for [...]
Scott Verplank Missing in PGA

Scott Verplank keeps missing in the right places.
He has just put a couple of average swings on the ball, that have ended up short of the hole in easy up and down range. He’s playing real percentage golf which has got him into second spot.
At 4 under he’s only 3 adrift and his game plan [...]
Tiger and Steve Chat it Up at PGA
Posted in Tiger Woods on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I just wonder what sort of influence Steve Williams has on Tigers game.
In the PGA Championship Tigers turned one under after 9, and Steve Williams is flatout talking to the champ.
Like, leaning in to Tiger. I wonder what he’s saying? I think Tiger relies on Steve Williams to ensure his mental game is kept in [...]
Tiger in Hold Mode in PGA
Posted in Tiger Woods on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Tiger’s got an awfully serious tone to his step today.
I think he’s got the pressure on and is playing a little defensively. I know he’s 8 under for the last 23 holes which is incredible but I get the feeling he’s moved into hold mode.
Meanwhile Ogilvy is playing fast and loose and playing some awesome [...]
Darren Clark is Back – PGA Southern Hills
Posted in Darren Clark on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Darren Clark is +4 after 3 rounds of the PGA. He shot 71 today taking bogey at the last.
He is within striking range and can still win from there although it would take an incredible final round. But Darren can shoot it low.
The great thing is he’s back in the mix. Competing for titles.
It doesn’t [...]
John Daly Deft Touch in PGA
Posted in John Daly on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
John Daly is showing some deft touch around the green today.
I’ve just watched two incredible chips from the big man. Man alive he has some touch. He really does add an exciting element to the tournament. Anytime he walks onto a course the fans go nuts. He must be one of the best loved golfers.
I [...]
Nathan Green -3 today in PGA
Posted in Nathan Green on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Aussie Nathan Green is 3 under for 12 and has moved up into a tie for 8th spot at even par, 6 off Woods.
Thats within range to win. Other Aussies to watch today are Geoff Ogilvy, John Senden, Adam Scott, and Stuart Appleby.
Stuart is even thru 5 at +1 on the leaderboard, so he’s right [...]
Southern Hills Pepper and Spice
Posted in PGA Tour on August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Yep. Whose going to give us some pepper and spice today in the PGA.
John Daly could. If he gets a sniff of the lead he can be dangerously good. He hung tough yesterday to remain in the hunt so he could add some vigour today.
Arron Oberholser could surprise.
Ernie Els might. Geoff Ogilvy likes this tournament.
I [...]
