Some Golf Stuff

This week is the Wachovia Championship a tournament UFT (usually featuring Tiger) but because of the injury, has "experts" picking Vijay Singh like he's the Patriots in the Super Bowl invincible.

The tournament actually has a pretty solid field, with four of the six winners of the event previously scheduled to tee it up.

Jim Furyk won this thing before and seems due to win something big this year. I don't mind picking Jimmy to take home the U.S. Open over El Tigre either, but for now we'll just focus on his ability to herky-jerky a victory on Sunday.

Also, in case you wanted to know, Phil Mickelson is also in attendance this week, and for all that was said after the Masters, nobody really talked the intense choke job Schmickelson did after those first two rounds. For the other dominant player of our generation, some would expect Mr. Lefty to rise to the occasion a little more.

I think this is worth nothing - since the collapse in the 2006 U.S. Open on 18, Mickelson has one one top-16 finish (this year's Masters) and has missed two cuts. I don't like to dwell on things like that, but if the LiveStrong bracelet fits...

(Picture note: I Googled "Jim Furyk" for pictures and this one came up. Hey, I'm sold.)
