Patrick:

The Sand Trap covered yesterday's play and has this note at the end:

Hope that helps.

Hey Patrick, it's good to have you here first off.

Second off, I guess I will have to record this afternoon's play, as I will not even be home until 6 Central Time. But the way it's looking, they may finish up today. They will have to get on the ball, but I think they can do it. The leaders will be worn out, but I think they are all used to it by now after so many rain delays this season.

They only have a couple holes left, and others have already started teeing off holes 1 and 10. So we may get a Monday finish afterall.

This is unbelievable. So many bogeys. Everyone is dropping like flies. The cut was at -1 and there are now 39 golfers at par or above!

One word: wind.

Mickelson took a 7 on 17. Tway took a 12 . Tiger hit it in the water.

Well, it looks like Fred Funk outlasted the wind to win the Players Championship. He has played that course alot, and I guess he has played it in the high winds before. He handled it very well obviously to win.

Scott Verplank was at -9 going into the 18th, but I guess he bogeyed it to finish 1 off. He shot a 70 today to move way up the leaderboard. And how about Tom Lehman? He got a big time paycheck by shooting 68 in the final round in harsh weather.

While I was at home, Tiger's entire group hit it in the water on 17, it was truly amazing how hard that little hole was playing today. I would go to PGATour.com and check the scores and every time I went back, it seemed like someone else either bogeyed it or worse.

Crazy difference between Thursday's round and today's round and a half or so.

i spent the week out at sawgrass and it was horrible. first, general parking and other lots were closed so i had to park at a family members house. second, the weather changed so much that the grounds crew couldnt keep up. thursday was awesome. friday was a washed out wasted walk to the course. saturday morning was nice and foggy. all in all, the only good shot i saw was sergio at 9 on thursday, 285 out and he crushed a 3 wood up close. missed the eagle put but what a shot.

we've had bad weather here for the players in the past, but this was the icing on the cake. maybe they should move the tournament from the florida monsoon season to another month, although most months are monsoon season here in florida.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
