Schmickey In The Lead? Yeah, More Erica Blasberg...


So, if you like Arizona State, which I don't, you're probably pretty happy about the leaderboard at the Nissan Northern Trust Open.

Phil Mickelson and Jeff Quinney are 1-2 this week, hoping to bring home the illustrious Northern Trust trophy back to Tempe.

Ok, ok, enough Mickelson talk. After seeing this new Callaway commercial where Phil "surprises" some golfers to show them the new driver, I'm convinced Tiger is going to slay Lefty before this is all said and done. Do the Callaway marketing people not remember that Tiger had a Buick commercial like this two years ago? This is why people have gray hair.

Anyway, lets discuss Erica Blasberg, the ex-Arizona Wildcat that has struggled on the LPGA Tour the last two years. Erica has a lot of potential on tour, and was tied for the lead this week after the second day and is two shots back of Annika Sorenstam halfway through the third round in Hawaii.

Here is hoping she continues to play well and can finish strong and start up her career.

I know this is way after the post but...

I was in that commercial with Mickelson and it really was a surprise. It didn't matter to me that Nike and Tiger did it before but the funny thing is, they were promoting last years club (Fusion FT-5). In context, this has nothing to do with your post but just felt like commenting nonetheless.
