Bits and Pieces

-Saturday Scramble start time: 10am.

-Tiger in the clubhouse with a second straight excellent round - though he did get a couple of bogeys on his second nine today.  Left the course at -9 and on top of the leaderboard.  Heads into the weekend in the lead by a single stroke over Peter O'Malley.  The man is playing some pretty good golf.  Keep it up, Tiger.

-Pettersen and Inkster on top at the Lorena Ochoea Invitational.  Michelle Wie three back at -2.  Wie and Kerr (also at -2) completely outplayed #1 Yani Tseng who stumbled to a horrific +4 and a tie for 34th in a 36 person field.  Wouldn't count her out yet even though she has yet to have much success down south of the border.  Lots of photos from bangkokbobby at Fairways and Forehands.  Pulling for Michelle Wie to get her third LPGA win;  if not her, then the 'experienced' lady in the bunch, Juli Inkster.

-Irish take on Maryland tomorrow night at 7:30.  This week and next they are going up against very mediocre teams - the Terps and then Boston College.  Here's hoping they don't play down to their level.  Question:  If the Irish win their next three games and end up ranked in the top 14, should they play in a BCS bowl game?  Well, if they do win out, that means beating a pretty good Stanford team, so my answer is yes.  But they do have to win out and then get voted into the top 14, and, so far, votes for the Irish are deservedly few.

-Lady Lion basketball team on the floor this week in a scrimmage against Evansville Mater Dei - Thursday evening around 6:30 and open to the public, and start their season against the Shoals Jug Rox on Friday the 18th.

-Golf at Lakeview today?  Maybe this afternoon since we didn't get to play yesterday.  I like this extended season...
