To my surprise (and pleasure) Bart Bryant was Mr. Cool today. He ran away and hid from Tiger while Retief faded to a 74.
Good for Bart. He has been through years of rough times trying to crack into the PGA Tour and done the Q-School thing a few times.
Now what is up with Retief? Up until this year no one would have EVER thought he’d start melting down on Sunday. He’s done it twice this year now in big situations… He may not be the golf machine he once was.
Tiger played fairly well but just couldn’t make anything happen or any putts go in. No Sunday charge for Tiger.
If you haven’t voted in the latest poll, do so asap! A new poll is on the way!
Bart Bryant has a 4 shot lead going into Sunday’s final round of the Tour Championship. He’s practically #1 in all of the meaningful stat categories for the tournament so far. Bryant has had a problem in the past handling pressure and admittedly has come close to feeling so sick dealing with the pressure that he wanted to “cash in.”
How’s he going to handle the pressure playing in the final group Sunday? You’re not going to have much more pressure than playing in the final group with world #4 Retief Goosen. Toss in playing in the group behind Tiger Woods. Imagine watching Tiger in the group in front of you go on one of his patented Sunday charges and having to answer to that.
Entertainment
Tiger has hit 14 of 42 fairways and he’s been hitting shots from some very interesting spots. Yesterday I couldn’t help laughing when Tiger was hitting off the dirt from next to what looked to be three large ice machines. When he HAS hit the fairway, he’s been launching them as long as 380 yards.
But the most entertaining thing so far was watching Sergio today. Frustrated with his putting, he took a full swing with his putter at his golf bag. His Monza Corza became unplayable at that point and he putted with an iron the rest of the round. He putted better.
Retief Goosen has the lead this morning at -11 for the Tour Championship. he’s 1 ahead of Bart Bryant and 5 ahead of Tiger. I’ve got the DVR all set up for viewing later because I’m off to see some college football! DVRing or TIVOing golf is truly the best way to watch it anyway. You can save yourself 15-20 minutes per hour of commercials.
I was browsing asiantour.com (no I don’t get there too often) and found a story about an 878 yard hole.
PAR 6 HOLE TO MAKE DEBUT AT DOUBLE A INTERNATIONAL OPEN
Hole 4, Par 6, 878 Yds at the St Andrews Hill (2000) Golf Club, Rayong Thailand.Rayong, Thailand, November 1: A monstrous 878-yard, par six hole will make a daunting debut on the Asian Tour at this week’s inaugural US$300,000 Double A International Open.
I can see it now: “Hey Bob, nice eagle 4!”
A thought: we’re only 122 yards from seeing a 1000 yard hole…
