Tiger won. Yawn. The only difference this time was that he cried a lot after this win, made him look a bit more human. At least Sergio didn't blow it completely. None of the guys in contention made that big of a move today. And for Sergio, I think this final round was actually a success. Usually after a low round, the very next round a player has is a high scoring round. Added to that, Sergio's tendency to score about 2 shots higher in his final rounds (The Golf Channel had all kinds of stats on that) and Sergio should have shot 4 or 5 over instead of just 1 over. So, really Sergio didn't do all that badly today. But none of the guys in contention really made a big move today. Chris DiMarco came the closest but still could have done more. I probably won't watch the Golf Channel for a few days: It's only going to be a Tiger Lovefest and I'd rather lose weight the right way, by working out, rather than throwing up over having to see and hear about Tiger non-stop.
Last week I said I would have to start keeping an eye on Andres Romero. And guess what. He finished tied for 8th in the Open. Good for him.
Peter Allis said today in regards to people who say "Why don't you show other players instead of just Tiger" that the owner of the losing horse in a horse race always says why don't you show my horse. To which, Peter responds, "Well if your horse would start winning......" My response to this is that without the other horses, there would be no race to win. It would be just one lone horse trotting around a track. And if Peter would like to write Tiger Woods $10 million worth of personal checks to compensate him for the tournaments he wouldn't be winning if there were no other participants, then I'm fine with that. But it's the other players that make it a tournament and I doubt if any company would sponsor an event that just had Tiger Woods trotting around a golf course for four days. It might happen once, but then they'd get smart and realize there's no profit margin in it.
Last night on the Golf Channel: Frank Nobilo statement of the obvious: "So many Spaniards come from Spain."
