Man, it is brutal covering a tournament that goes start, stop, start, stop. They started the third round with the lowest scores teeing off last on tee 1, and the highest scores teeing off last on tee 10. Those in the middle tee off in between. Got it. Phil and Tiger are on the course as we speak. Meanwhile Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh made moves to finish at 6-under and 5-under respectively. In any event, here’s my latest Cybergolf piece.
From the article:
What a Croc!
Phil Mickelson hit golf balls all over Wisconsin, but with his stellar short game got up and down from Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills and Blue Mound Country Club as he cobbled together a 69 that put him at 2-under for the tournament.
Nevertheless, his funky-fresh new golf shoes were just as wild as his golf. “Calloway makes them for me. They are alligator. I have two sets of skins, and also a matching belt,” he said mischievously as he preened his outfit for a few scribes.
For the record, the difference between a croc and an alligator is that the croc has a rounded nose. There are, of course, two ways to disable a crocodile, you know. First, you can take a pencil and jam it in the socket behind his eyes. The second is twice is simple. You stick your hand in its mouth, and pull its teeth out.
The Daly Bugle
John Daly told a rules official tonight that he would not be back in the morning to resume round two due to a shoulder injury. “We will record him as a No Card,” wrote Una Jones of the PGA of America. Daly was certainly going to miss the cut when he withdrew, which is understandable when his pants double-bogeyed the first hole both days.
