Bits and Pieces for a Sunday Morning

-Tiger won the Aussie Masters down under.  Now if we can get the Wie Lass to prevail down in Mexico at the Lorena Invitational - she goes into the final round tied for the lead with the Kerr Woman.

-Out at Lakeview yesterday morning, Curt Johnson put on a clinic with his short game in pairing with Tracy Rayhill for a 33 to 39 scramble victory over Ward Smith and myself in a nine hole scramble.  Curt dropped in a fifteen foot birdie putt at #3 and then completed another birdie at six with a ten foot down hill slider.

-The Notre Dame Irish had their shots last night in Pittsburgh, mostly in the fourth quarter, but came up short, 27-22.  They needed another touchdown in the fourth quarter, had the ball with plenty of time to go, but then lost it on a fumble when their gutty little quarterback, Jimmy Clausen, fumbled with two minutes to go.  Just like last week against Navy, where he was taken down in the end zone for a safety (which proved to be the difference), he was blindsided when he had dropped back to pass.  Of note: Golden Tate was golden; some very questionable calls and non calls by the officials; and the Panthers little running back, Dion Lewis, was superlative.  Wonder what Lou Holtz is thinking nowadays.  He's the one who was so high on the Irish before the season started, even giving them a chance to go undefeated.  My oh my.
