Golf Roundup

WGC Amex tournament:
Yawn, another week of the network showing all tiger all the time. While we get to see him stop at the portapotties and such, other golfers entered in the tournament will actually be playing golf. Imagine that. Golfers that I would like to see, but won't get to see: Brett Quigley, currently in 6th place at 8 under, Ian Poulter might get on tv just to show off his outfit. He's 7th at 7 under. David Howell is current T2 so he might get a bit of air time if he's paired with Tiger. Lucas Glover is 5 under along with Jose Maria Olazabal. Sergio is at even par after a really bad day. Hope he does better on the weekend, too bad they won't show him on tv. And Paul Casey continues his streaky nature by going into the weekend nearly dead last at +7. Really hope he does better. I have a feeling I won't be watching too much of this tournament. I can't stomach the Tiger Love Fest that is bound to ensue.

Southern Farm Bureau Classic:
This should be televised. It's more exciting to see these guys desperate to make enough money to secure their cards than it is to watch Tiger, yawn, win another tournament. Been there, done that, wouldn't spend money on that Nike t-shirt with the exclusive TW logo. Anyway, Brad Faxon is currently tied for second at 9 under par. DJ Trahan is the current leader. David Duval made the cut and is currently hovering around 10th place. John Daly is playing with a broken hand, but I haven't been able to find out how he broke it. It didn't look taped or anything when I saw clips on the Golf Channel. Rocco Mediate is playing the weekend along with Paul Azinger.
