Sony Open Final Round

When the coverage began at 7pm, I looked at the leaderboard and thought that Paul Goydos could sneak in there and steal the win from Luke Donald and Charles Howell III. Neither Donald nor Howell has a good track record with final rounds and closing the deal and Paul has demonstrated recently that he can make a charge. Midway through the final round, the Golf Channel folks showed the very coveted WinZone percentages and no where in sight was Paul Goydos. It's interesting that for all the millions of calculations that WinZone is supposed to be doing, I had more foresight than it did. Of course, part of my inkling came from the "if Luke can't win, then I pick Goydos" philosophy.

Other notes: Tadd Fujikawa continued to thrill the crowds and I'm sure it was a big thrill for him to play with Jim Furyk today. Paul Azinger had a bad day. But, on the flip side, Geoff Ogilvy had a really good day. Doug Labelle II shot a 65 to finish T4. As for the Golf Channel Coverage - Last week Faldo was a little conservative but this week, he relaxed more and was more entertaining. Heaven knows what he'll be like by Masters time.

i agree. by masters time kelly and nick may be the biggest story of the year in golf.

i only wish tgc would shed itself of kraig kahn, he is such an annoying little weannie. everytime he gets air time i tune out. what is it with tgc - you are in the bigs now and it is clearly time to shed the light weights - please start with kraig kahn - he just is a bummer, he is like the annoying little prick in high school who was always around annoying the shit out of the everyone else.

you don't need that guy anymore.
