    That other tournament that is going on this week.

    Jordan Spieth, can he have another big week.

    Lefty says he's getting out his 2 iron and his low bounce 64 degree wedge.

    They say it needs precision, imagination, and calmness to accept that some of your great shots will turn out terrible and some of your misses will turn out amazing. Sounds like Bubba!!!

    I'm sure A.J. will be up at 3AM to watch Tiger tee off live!! :)

    I'm thinking a Euro will win, maybe Justin Rose or one of the Swedes.

    I see where Tiger is plus 1 and four strokes down at the turn. I hope he plays well, but I am not hoping for any miracles.

    If Rory's pattern holds he'll shoot 78 tomorrow. Excellent 1st round for Tiger, Phil is out on the course now and Jordan Spieth also had a good first round he's at -1.

    Hard not to notice Tom Watson at +1, I hope he makes the weekend. I think this is it for him no more exemptions.

    We have a place in Hobe Sound, Fl which is next to Jupiter Island on the Treasure coast.

    The premier golf course in Hobe Sound is The Medalist. Jupiter Island is home to many current and former PGA players including Tiger and Rory.

    Tiger joined The Medalist and in his second round there shot a course record 62. A year or so later Rory joined and promptly tied that record. They play togther there frequently when both are in town.

    My brother in law is a three handicap and he played there as a guest. He shot an 87 and was mumbling when he came off the course.

    Ernie Els 4 putt

    Ernie was rattled from hitting a spectator in the face off the first tee, the guy was bleeding pretty badly from the face, took the ball directly in the face.
