John Deere Classic

[iacas]

For those wondering where Dan went, visit this thread . Suffice to say Dan's input on Michelle Wie is no longer welcome in this thread, and anyone mentioning Michelle Wie is treading on thin ice. Start a different thread if you still have something to say about her.

Since this is the "John Deere Classic" thread and since there are no girls left in the field, the question becomes: who will win? Thanks to Cody for trying to push it that way a few posts back...

I was rooting for Zach Johnson. Then Joe Ogilvie. Now, frankly, I don't care who wins. Senden, Slocum, Sheehan, Cejka? Dude, any time Steve Jones is on the leaderboard my interest plummets, U.S. Open included.

Can Ogilvie come from four back? Maybe. Unlikely.

At least Bill Haas is having a decent tournament, and Jason Gore.

We did kinda "lose the bubble" on this thread, didn't we?

Don't really care much who really wins either. I'll probably watch more LPGA than PGA today, or maybe even the celebrity hacks in Tahoe.

I don't think Senden's holding that lead. He fired off a 64 yesterday, I see something closer to par today. That'll bring the Slocums and Chopras of the world back into it. Woo. Hoo.

I like Ogilvie. It'll be cool to have an Ogilvie and an Ogilvy as tour winners this year. If only there was a Jim Ogalvee and a John Ogelvea on tour too.

I'm a whole lot more interested to see if Natalie Gulbis can win her first LPGA event. I almost went to the tournament today, too, but the wife decided it was too hot for our 3.5-year-old.

I don't know... she's got some heavy hitters nipping at her heels. Creamer, Pak... even Sorenstam's in play if she goes 64 or 65 today. I'm hoping she does it though... at least then she can shake the Kournikova comparisons.

PS: I might be wrong about Senden folding today. He's -2 through 2 holes today. Jeez.

Looks like John Senden pulled it off. A good win for him; now I need to see what he looks like, because I've never heard of him.

The Aussies continue to do well on the PGA Tour this year; comparisons to the Koreans on the LPGA?

Right now Natalie "Don't call me Anna K" Gulbis is in the lead. Let's see if she can hold on....

...I would like to see a comparison how many sponsors exemptions have been given to Wie vs Woods when he was sixteen.

From a article published on Yahoo sports:

"... And for those keeping score, it took Woods awhile, too. He played seven events before he made his first cut, and was 19 when he did it. "She's better than Tiger was at 16,'' said Joe Ogilvie, the second-round leader at the Deere Classic. "I played with Tiger, and Tiger wasn't this good"...." I wonder if people were bitching and whining about sponsors "wasting the playing spots" by giving the exemption to some Tiger kid. Here is the link to the whole article: http://sports.yahoo.golfserv.com/gdc...YAHOO&id;=40242 I love the title - "Wie critics just don't get it". I think it's right on the nose [FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
