Just about everyone is watching basketball, so it shouldn’t really matter, but I did a rambly wrap-up of the third round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. As you know, Tiger Woods leads by two over Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose and John Huh.
Woods is going for his eighth victory at Bay Hill. Should he win, he will dethrone Rory McIlroy from the world No. 1 ranking. (continue reading…)
The Question Mark making a run
What’s perhaps the most compelling story to come out of the Valero Texas snooze-fest Open has gone widely unnoticed, but thanks to Shoshana for bringing it to my attention.
