So even though Tiger “only” shot 71 today at Doral, the tournament has some great story lines other than the man Dan Jenkins calls Elvis. Jeev Milkha “the other” Singh is tied with Retief Goosen, Phil Mickelson, and one more player at 7-under 65. Padraig Harrington, Camilo Villegas, Sean O’Hair, Andres Romero, Luke Donald, and Jim Furyk are all within three shots.
Nevertheless, you watch. Woods will get all the links and headlines, even though he’s six shots back. Just today, all the buzz was about Tiger and how he’s “ready to win,” and “the biggest most compelling story line is how he’ll play in his first stroke play event.” Yawn. ZTell us about the new guy and plug Phil and Paddy. Between them they have six majors: that’s nothing to sneeze at either, you know.
