Bits and Pieces

In Dubai: Tiger shoots even par in his third round and sits two behind the leader, Sergio Garcia (!) who's at -9 and still playing - two holes to go.  Westwood is at -5, Kaymer at even par after a +4 third round.  Guess TW played upsey-downsey during his round; from europeantour.com:
...after an uncertain start in windy conditions at the Emirates Golf Club he recovered to be four under through six holes of his back nine, including an eagle three at the tenth.
Not what one would call even play even if ending up an even par on the scorecard.

-Update:  Tiger one back at close of third round and tied for fourth.  More detail on his round here.

-In Montgomery:  The favorites took care of business in the girls sectional at Barr Reeve.  The host school beat Washington Catholic, 58-28, while the Rivet girls polished off the North Daviess Cougars, 45-23.  Championship tonight at 7:30.  Expect a packed house.  The 18 and 4 Vikings have a much younger squad with 3 juniors, 3 sophmores and 7 freshmen; the Lady Patriots, on the other hand, are dominated by seniors with 8 of them to go along with 2 juniors, 1 sophmore and 2 freshmen.  Erin Wehrheim, one of the Rivet senior stars, is injured and won't play.  Guess she was instrumental in Vincennes' one point victory over Barr Reeve earlier in the season.  And tonight?  Home floor for the Vikings but that will be neutralized by a hugh crowd coming in from the West - they were there in force last night.  Mark Holt has done wonders with his young team but I don't see them stopping the darlings of southern Indiana in their march to a third successive try at a state title.  Rivet by ten tonight.

-Good weather on the way.  Almost 40 today, near 50 tomorrow.  Expect we'll be able to open up for play tomorrow around noon.    Three cheers for that!
