Jeev Milkha Singh is currently in the lead at 3 under par, with Johan Edfors, Sergio, Henrik Stenson, and Lee Westwood all one shot back. I really hope Sergio has a good day tomorrow. The announcers were talking about his putting, once again, but if you compare last year's putting stats and this years, you'll see he's moved up quite a bit, so his putting has improved.
As for the battle for the Order of Merit title, David Howell and Robert Karlsson are even par, Padraig Harrington is +1 and Paul Casey, battling either the flu or food poisoning depending on which story you read on the web, is a distant +6. If Casey doesn't win the Order of Merit, I would like to see David Howell get it. He held the number one spot all year until Casey came along so it would be only right to see him get it if Casey can't claim it on Sunday.
Another comment related to yesterday's news about the PGA Tour's Tour Championship. This Volvo Masters is essentually the European Tour's version of the Tour Championship with only a select number of top players in the field competing for a big prize, the final prize of the season. In Spain, you have Paul Casey playing sick, David Lynn playing sick, David Howell playing injured. In America, you have players dropping out of the Tour Championship because they are tired. Is it any wonder Europe wins the Ryder Cup every time? You've heard the saying "there's no quit in that guy". Well, there's no quit in the European players, and apparently there's no start in America's top players.
