Sony Open day three
Chad Campbell went low in round three with a 62 but playing partner David Toms went even lower with a 61. Aim low sheriff, aim low.
Campbell and Toms are now tied at -14, 7 shots ahead of anyone else in the field. Unless something “special” happens from the field, Toms and Campbell basically have a match play situation for the final 18.
Looks like Taylormade has changed blogs again. I didn’t hear anything about this from TM which is unusual. Just clicked the TMAG Insider link and it took me there. Didn’t see anything from my buddy Jason either. I hope he’s still around.

Unless Michelle Wie drops a 61 on the field at the Sony today, she’s cooked. She just didn’t have her “A Game” I suppose.
Assuming she misses the cut, what should she do now? You know the golf blogs, golf sites and golf media are going to be pontificating about this to the point of nausea, so I’m going to beat them all to it. At least the nausea won’t set in on this post, hopefully.
Michelle Wie should now focus her golf career on the LPGA Tour. My guess is that this is going to be the sentiment of 99% of all golf bloggers and sports writers and it is true. She has done basically nothing on the LPGA. She needs to get into the grind of the tour and win some tournaments. She doesn’t even need to win majors right away. She just needs to start making her mark on the LPGA, period.
At this point I don’t think it’s in Wie’s best interest to try to “take on the men” (not my quote by the way) any more. It only serves to tarnish her image the more cuts she misses. Eventually the novelty of her competing against the men will wear off, if it hasn’t already. A few years down the road, a dozen or so LPGA victories and some more physical and mental development and perhaps she can take another shot at the PGA Tour, but not until then.

When I’m done gathering all this great information in my polls I’m going to sell it for a million bucks. Well, maybe 17 cents.
The new poll is as simple as they come. I’m wondering what percentage of male/female viewers this site has. I’ve guessed it to be 90-95% male. But so far it’s close to 70% male.
Vote now on whether you’re male or female. And yes I did think about putting one more answer: “other” but I decided not to. 😉
John Daly is giving up Hooters. Guess those chicken wings have been going right to his waistline? Or is it because his 4th wife doesn’t want to see these type of pix floating around the web?
We may find out more (I almost hope not) when JD’s reality show airs this week on TGC.
