Spanish Open: shocking scores

[joekelly]

One of my favorites, M. A. Jimenez, a native born Spaniard and great contender on the International golf scene, connoisseur of wines, cigars and cars, and fellow red-haired bloke  was expected to be right up near the top of the leader board for his national title. Instead, he shoots 77-80 for the first two days and misses the cut.  All i can say is 'must be a damn tough golf course'.  And fellow American, Shawn Micheel, shoots low the first day, 67 for the lead, then balloons to 77 the next. Now i must pull for Robert Rock, the hatless Brit.  Remember him?  He sent T. Woods packing out of Dubai last January.  Old T. Woods better buy a good handbag so he can get around to all the Monday qualifiers he will soon need to attend if he wants a paycheck. Me?  I'll be trying to break 100 next week. Bought a new 52* wedge a few days ago, plays real nice and so my foolish hopes are high.

I'm pretty sure Tiger isn't worried about needing to attend a Monday qualifier anytime soon for a paycheck.  I'm pretty sure he isn't worried about paychecks - period.

20 wins and you get a lifetime exemption.

Tiger has 72 wins.

TW is no fool. He doesn't make much money from purses, none of the good players really do. Even when he gets 10 wins a season it only amounts to a few million. He made tens of millions per year from endorsements at his peak.

He has mucho shares in Nike, as well as his other sponsors. TW signs his own paychecks.

Jeez, you sound like Mitt Romney. I'd be pretty happy with 11 million a year (which he has exceeded five times, counting unofficial events, which you must be doing if you are talking about 10-win seasons).

Looks like it's not your week. Rock has bogeyed his first three holes today.

i'm pretty sure tiger woods made more money than anyone on tour when he wasn't playing.

Tiger needs a paycheck, like he needs a hooker in Vegas. Well the guy needs to get some from somewhere. LOL
