Bits and Pieces

-Short-shorts girl wins the CME Group Titleholder tournamentHee Young Park went two under for the first eight holes and then parred out to finish at -9, two strokes better than Sandra Gal and Paula Creamer.  The Wie Lass also shot two under for the day and climbed six spots to finish in a tie for 6th at two under par; a dastardly double bogey at the 17th hole kept her from finishing ahead of Yani Tseng and Cristie Kerr all alone in 6th.  Pretty nice way to get her first win in the LPGA for the 58th ranked Hee Young Park.  From Golf Babes.

-Did watch the replay of the Presidents Cup on NBC all afternoon.  In all that I read before watching, nowhere did I get the impression that Tiger was doing as well as he really did.  He was fantastic.  Of course, part of that may be because I thought he won his match 1 up rather than 4 and 3.  Good stuff.

-Sunday afternoon basketball:  #2 Irish Ladies basketball team stomped by #1 Baylor, 94-81.  Oops.  Losing big at halftime, they closed the gap to a single point in the second half and then went cold.  Baylor has the expected player of the year in 6'8" center Brittany Griner who scored 32 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.  Dkylar Diggins, ND's All American guard, had 27 points.

-Go figure Vince Young leading the desperate Eagles to an upset win over the NY Giants in Sunday Night Football.  Also, glad to see the Colts didn't hurt themselves yesterday (they had the bye) but was surprised to see this article by Bob Karvitz laying out in cold hard terms the choices the Indy team has with regards to Payton Manning.  Doesn't look any too promising for #18 loyalists. 

-Cloudy and cool in our neck of the woods today.  Eric will be at the course some this morning working on the greens.
