Lights out for me.
I’m deflated. I think I may have vexed Steve Alker. Posting his progress, excitedly telling you how well he was doing, wanting to share his every move, saying stuff like “he has a chance of winning this”. I guess skilled golf commentators learn not to put their foot in it. Anyway, poor wee Stevie boy couldn’t contain his excitement either. He doubled 16. What did you say. Yes I’m sorry dear listeners he doubled 16. He’s now 2 under for the day, and 1 under for the Championship in a tie for 11th. He could still get a top ten out of it, but ooh he’ll be mentally challenged trying to come to grips with a double with 3 to pay, and 3 from the lead. Head games. It’s tough leading, and its tough getting close to the lead. Learning how to win if you haven’t been there before is one of the hardest things in golf. South African Jamie Kingston doesn’t know how. Yet. He’s 4 over for the day and busily building himself a psychological roadblock be has to get through the next time he finds himself in a winning position. Kaymer is leading now. He made that birdie I was talking about, and now shares the lead at 6 under with the double K, Mr Mikko from Finland. If you’re wondering why I haven’t bothered with paragraph breaks in this post it’s because I’m knacky knoo knooed. Triple K’d. Knocked out, stone dead tired staying up watching the screen as the wee numbers change. Its a strange thing. They don’t have great golf coverage in Brazil. Oh, Steve Alkeer has finished his round. He shot 68 and is in a tie for 18th. Well, a top 20 would be his best placing of the season, so congrats are in order. Gotta hit the hay.
