If only Tiger could putt this week!

If only I hadn't of chosen Ryan Palmer as part of my fantasy foursome AND if only Tiger could putt this week!

Two things I plan on blogging about sometime this weekend:

1) Where the hell is Phil? Doesn't he owe it to his fans to play in this tournament? He's the only winner I can think of who is not playing.

2) Who came up with the brilliant idea that PROFESSIONAL golfers deserved to win a brand new Mercedes if they score a hole-in-one? These are all previous winners. I'm quite sure they can buy their own cars.

P.S. And if only Tiger could putt this week!! Ugh.

Phill did not want to drag his family to Hawaii so he took 2 more weeks off and is practicing for Torrey.

Eh, I think it was a lame choice on his part.

You know what they'll simply say: "independent contractors." And I have to side with them. But then again, I'm not much of a Phil fan.

I can give you all my anwer to this question. No. When it is boiled right down, golf is Phil's job. And, just like everyone else, he must balance work and family life. Fans choose to live vicariouly through people in the limelight. Does this automatically mean they can place additional expectations?

If Tiger could have putted, he'd have won. Just two shots back - he missed three putts inside of 10 feet in the final round alone!

I'm just glad that he finished ahead of Vijay Singh. Tied with Ernie. Congrats to Appleby, especially after starting off with a 74!

Tiger hit some amazing shots. And a bad one or two on Saturday when trying to get into contention. But they weren't as bad as the shots Vijay and Ernie hit on Sunday! Yow those stunk! And Cink, too.
