-At Lakeview yesterday: Wayne Souerdike ran in putts from off the green at both the 3rd hole and the ninth hole in the Saturday Scramble. The one at the 9th hole tied Wayne and Dave Wininger with Short Jeffers, Curt Johnson and Kevin Byron at three under for the nine holes. The Souderdike/Wininger team won the game on the tiebreaking draw of a card. Doug Denson and Mike Bird also played and posted an even par round of 35.
-After the scramble, played another 18 holes as Dave W. and I took on Doug D. and Short J. in a 6-6-6 game. Dave and I took the first two games, the scramble and the alternate shot while Short and Doug won the best ball with Short starting the third part with an eagle and a birdie. Of note: It turned out to be a beautiful day for golf.
-CME Group Titleholders: Hee Young Park and Sandra Gal on top after three rounds with scores of -7. Lurking: Pettersen, Creamer, Choi and Tseng (all within three strokes of the top). Should be a great fourth round with the winner taking home that huge paycheck of half a million dollars. Of note: #1 Yani Tseng shot ten strokes better than she did on Friday, a six birdie, no bogey round of 66. She sits at -4 and tied for 5th place with Na Yeon Choi. Bangkokbobby has photos here.
-The Presidents Cup: Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Webb Simpson and friends win one for the Americans. Stephanie Wei has a good recap here. Good for Tiger as well. Am interested in seeing this afternoon's replay on NBC, at least some of it. How many of you guys stayed up late to watch it on the Golf Channel? The early success of the Internationals made it a much more interesting final day, at least for this guy 'watching' the action with internet updates (was frustrated by the lack of good live blogging that reported the facts.) Neat stuff by the old guys with the biggest hats-off compliment to Jim Furyk who had himself a dismal year but then wrote himself into the history books with a 5-0 Presidents Cup. Super stuff. Phil Mickelson was a surprise as well, going 3-1.
-Irish hold on to beat the Boston College Eagles, 16-14. Took the sure hands of Robby Toma to catch the onside kick to give the Irish the ball and the chance to run out the clock after the BC team had scored a touchdown to close the gap to two points late in the fourth quarter. The Irish were 20 point favorites, started like gangbusters and then were pretty much held in check by the 'Eastern Catholics'.
-Getting on with the rest of the day...
