Duel or Dud

Posted on August 14, 2006 by jlove

The 2006 PGA Championship is this weekend, and for all your golf fans out there that means only 1 thing…Tiger vs Phil. The air is just filled with excitement!

Phil is the reigning 2005 PGA Champion, while Tiger is the current British Open champion and has won the last 2 tournaments he has played in. This week’s championship will be played at the famous Medinah Country Club just outside Chicago. It was last held here in 1999 and was won by…Tiger Woods. That was the week that Sergio Garcia ‘leapt’ onto the national stage by hitting an incredible shot on the difficult 16th hole and running down the fairway after it. He ‘jumped’ into the air and the gallery loved it.

Now just to show you non-golfers out there that I can find humor even in the sport I love…the fact that a golfer becomes well-known because he jumps and has both feet off the ground at the same time is funny. Sad too…I’ll admit. But Tiger and Sergio have been very influential in making golfers work more on their fitness…however little that may be.

Well, I know you all are just dying to find out more, so here is a link to help ease your curiosity: PGA Championship

Have a great week and be sure to catch all the heart stopping action this weekend! :)

No way! I’m rooting for Olazabal. Why? Because he has a cool name. Kinda like Antonio Banderas, except with a putter.

BTW, what’s up with David Duval? He have any chance of doing anything this year?

Olazabal….good pick. He shot even par today (day 1), so that is a fair start. Duval shot 1 over, so he is still within shouting distance. He has played well lately and had a good British Open, if I remember correctly.

If you like names, you should root for Gonzalo Fernandez-Casta, although he shot 3 over today, so he probably won’t make the cut.

For the record, Tiger and Phil both shot 3 under and are 3 shots off the lead. Could be shaping up to be a great finish. We’ll see!
