When you come to think of it that is the secret of most of the great holes all over the world. They all have some kind of a twist. C.B. MACDONALD
John Daly, who owns a restaurant in Memphis where one of his employees was shot in the parking lot:
That's nice, and he is in our thoughts and prayers too. And...oh no, you left it at that John, didn't you? Oh no.
Now, I know the team at PGATOUR.com is doing their job and doing it amazingly well to keep on top of FedEx Cup scenarios, but look at this disaster of points breakdowns, scenarios, permutations and other nonsense.
Look, I get it that you want to reward the season and playoff play. But the most recent points reset really undermines that argument. If you have to gerrymand the FedEx Cup finish, then it'll never be taken seriously. Never!
Why are all these tough-guy, free-wheeling, free-market loving gamblers associated with the PGA Tour so afraid of old-fashioned, head-to-head, no points stuff, true playoff play at East Lake? Would it be too stressful?

Never too early to start cutting to compensate for the massive revenue hit in 2013!
After Saturday's round, I think a pro-bono touch up is in order. No?
Thomas Bonk doesn't think the scoring Saturday has helped Cog Hill's chances of getting a U.S. Open.
