DAILY NOTES - February 10, 2008
- The AT&T/Crosby now heads to Sunday with the celebrities turning the stage over to the leading cast of professionals, several of whom I actually thought were celebrities with whom I was simply unfamiliar...
- The list of surviving professionals with whom I am familiar will not include Phil Mickelson who, after struggling with his putter on Thursday and Friday, played a fascinating round on Saturday. One glance at his scorecard shows an almost monotonous run of 15 pars, a birdie at the 4th, a bogey at the 18th...and an 11 at the par-5 14th. Yes, an 11, built mostly on a pair of fairway hybrids drilled out of bounds. Mickelson, by the way, refused to blame his putting woes on the Monterey Peninsula's notoriously bumpy greens, saying they rolled better than ever...but I'll bet others who struggle with the blade will grumble.
- I read with great interest Bob Toski’s brief Links Magazine piece comparing the swings of Tiger Woods and Ben Hogan. Toski’s summary: That in today’s drive-and-pitch technology-driven game, Tiger’s swing is far less precise than Hogan’s, largely because it doesn’t need to be. This seems a fair statement, for it acknowledges what those who witnessed Hogan consider obvious (that he was the most accurate ball-striker in the history of the game) while also recognizing that Woods may well be the greatest ever without possessing the finest swing. For me, Toski’s most memorable words: “One year at the Masters, Hogan drove the ball over a hill to a small flat spot tucked in the corner of the [2nd] fairway, not visible from the tee but providing a perfect angle to the green. Hogan placed his drive in that tiny area all four days. Most tour pros today would have trouble hitting that spot four days in a row with a wedge.” Amen.
- Perhaps it’s my sense of nostalgia, or maybe just a commentary on the lack of flair present on today’s PGA Tour, but am I the only one who got a kick out of seeing 52-year-old Greg Norman playing at the Crosby? No preachy sermon here regarding Norman and the Champions Tour; the Shark’s differences with PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem are longstanding and substantial, so he simply opts to stay away. But perhaps just a few more regular Tour appearances before marriage to Chris Evert and the job of running Great White Shark Enterprises consumes him completely?
PowerHouse Update, Part II
Our boy is a fighter! After back-to-back bogeys at the 13th and 14th dropped him to two over par in the third round of the African Open, PowerHouse McIntyre responded with an eagle at the 517-yard 16th and a birdie at the last, finishing with a one-under-par round of 71 which, in blustery conditions, moved him from the cut line all the way up to T38. Unfortunately, Sunday's final round saw him turn in two-over-par 38 before adding double-bogeys at the 10th and 16th en route to a closing 77. At least no triples or quads this week...
Saturday's Round of the Day
Lisa Hall's closing 66 (to win Down Under) or Phil Mickelson's bizarre 78 (newsworthy in the opposite direction) were strong candidates, but Saturday's winner is instead the clutch 69 shot by Ernie Els to haul himself back into contention at the India Masters. Conditions were tough but Big Ernie reeled off four birdies over the final six holes to set up a final round which he hopes will be more successful than last week's disappointment in Dubai.
