-Tiger has a third great day but comes up short in the Australian Open. TW had a -5 in the final round, one that included two bogeys on the back nine. Those two were the difference as he lost by two to Greg Chalmers. Finished third with John Senden coming in second. Of course, his Saturday at +3 was a big factor in his not winning the tournament. After a -4 on Thursday and then a -5 on Friday, the +3 was way out of line. But he did well and now it's on to the President's Cup.
-Down in Mexico at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, Catriona Matthew's has opened up a three stroke lead on Suzann Pettersen after three rounds. I K Kim and Anna Nordqvist are still very much in contention as well four strokes back of the leader. The Wie Lass is ten strokes back. Prediction: Suzann Pettersen comes from behind and wins later today. Photos at bangkokbobby's Fairways and Forehands.
-College football: Irish do win easily against Maryland, 45-21. Look very sharp in their 'amped up' offense. Two unbeatens fall: Stanford lost to the Oregon Ducks and Boise State missed a winning field goal in the last seconds and fell to TCU. Too bad about the Stanford team losing - they were ND's last chance for glory. Now, if the Irish do beat them in two weeks, it will be for tarnished glory. (Us Irish fans will take it, nonetheless.)
-In the Saturday Scramble yesterday morning, Doug Denson and Wayne Souerdike had the hot putters, each making several clutch putts over the nine holes. Doug's dart at one (mentioned in the previous blog) and Dave Wininger's approach shot on #6 (Curt Johnson rolled it in for an eagle) were super shots from the fairway.
-Warm today but you might have to fight the wind if you're heading out to the golf course. Might be fun playing holes four and six over and over. Wind from the south should make for some long driving.
-Colts at 1 vs Jacksonville. Hmmm...
