Maturday at the Sasters

If only Tiger played as well as he dressed.
The white blue-striped shirt with grey slacks was the best outfit of the week, but wasn’t enough to stop him from slashing the first hole like the Psycho shower scene for a double bogey. Nice to know he can still shoot four under on the last seventeen holes on a bad day.
A few more notes from moving day:
Anthony Kim is a likable guy. He plays aggresive, interviews well, and has the game to be a champ in no time. He’s climbing my favourite player list quick.
Kenny “I kissed a girl, and I liked it” Perry, on the other hand, is considerably less likable. His interviews keep walking the knife’s edge of being cocky, without actually getting there. About Chad Campbell: “He’s a great guy, we get along well. Actually, he reminds me a lot of myself”. I’m not sure if that’s cocky or not, but he’s been in the grey zone enough for me to root against him. Oh, and his swing is balls.
In fact, with him and Campbell near the top of the leaderboard, I’m afraid to watch for fear of my brain remembering one of those swing moves. Although, it seems they’ve been fairly effective. Jim Furyk is in the hunt too; he’s not exactly the picture of grace either.
So, here’s to hoping for fireworks tomorrow. The last thing anybody wants is a Cabrerra-Perry-Campbell finish. I hope it hails or something, we need those guys to take a step back for the Tiger-Phil-Kim fun guys to have a hope.
I mentioned the leader would be at 10 under heading into tomorrow, and it’s -11. The big guns have some work to do in the morning. Will tomorrow be epic, or will a first time champion be fitted for the thrift shop coat? I’ll meet you back here for reviews… and maybe a mention that hockey still exists. Get in the hole!!
I'm a hockey player turned writer. After playing for Alaska Anchorage in the WCHA (NCAA), I carried on with an NHL tryout (New York Islanders in 2007) before spending a couple seasons in the AHL/ECHL (last year was 2008-09). My father, Bob Bourne, won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders in the '80's, as did my fiancee's dad, Clark Gillies. I'm now the web editor for theScore's hockey blog "Backhand Shelf."
That’s what she said.
