Roundup

Paul Casey emerged with a one shot lead over Colin Montgomerie after the third round of the European event.

Ben Curtis has a commanding lead going into the final round of the Booz Allen Classic. Brett Quigley is playing well again this week. I like Brett Quigley. No one smiles more on the PGA tour than Brett Quigley. I think they should show more of him on tv. If they explained where Paul Azinger was today during the ABC coverage, I missed it. And once again, I'm going to say that Mike Tirico is one of the smartest, clued in, announcers out there. Golf is going to miss him next year. And as for Peter Allis and Nick Faldo's obsession with J. B. Holmes' pants - at least they stay up. He's not showing his underwear out there.

The Senior Tour was in a rain delay when I checked in on them, so I don't have anything to report there.

And the third round of the LPGA event hasn't aired yet. I hope Brittany Lang does well. She's one of the youngun's but you don't hear anything about her or from her. She just goes quietly along, playing her game. I think I have picked a player to keep an eye on though. Virada Nirapathpongporn. Can you imagine how she felt in kindergarten when the teacher had the kids write their names? Five minutes later, she's still working on it because it's so long. I work in a job where I see a lot of names, and we at work always think about how the names could affect the people they belong to.
