You know, a PGA Tour event without any of the big names in the mix is like a Cabo San Lucas margarita without Petron.
I hate to be the guy that lessens what the leaders are doing, namely Matthew Goggin, but it's hard for most people to get excited about a tournament without a household name making tons of birdies.
Bottom line - Goggin took advantage of the best scoring conditions, banking on that first round 65 like Britney Spears does on tabloid checks (side note - Britney Spears in Google has three times the hits George Bush does and almost four times the hits Tiger Woods gets...pretty amazing from a girl that once wrote a song called "Email My Heart.")
Sometimes you have to get your cookies early, and Goggin is in the perfect position to land some solid Chocolate Chips. If you love the story of a guy that has bounced around on professional tour stops, pull for Goggin tomorrow. The Australian could really use this damn thing more than some of his competitors.
