FBR Open

Git ‘R Done

Written: February 05, 2007

In deference to Larry, The Cable Guy, Jeff Quinney couldn't "Git 'R Done" yesterday in Phoenix. Jeff Q. has now been "in-the-hunt" three times this year: at The Lopez, The Paraglider and yesterday at The Frat Party Open. To say he choked Baddeley would be a bad pun. He missed 3 putts of five feet or less on the last 4 holes. During that stretch, Aaron (He of Faith) Baddeley, birdied 15, 16 and 17. The question then becomes, did Baddeley win it or Quinney lose it? A combination of both methinks. It was sad to watch Quinney dissolve and equally amazing to watch Badds make everything. Were you watching when Gary Koch told us Quinney was about to make a BIG mistake by hitting his driver on the short 17th? Right on....Splasheoka! He (Quinney) had displayed so much cool for the longest time but when crunch time came, he folded like a beach chair.

Thank god, loopy-swinging Chris DiMarco faded. Otherwise Woody/Doyle were looking at another big payday. Kevin LeDuc's choice of David Toms and Doug B's "Bubba" were worthy picks. The rest of us missed the cut.

Someone to keep an eye on.....John Rollins. He finished one back yesterday and lost in a playoff at the George Lopez to the fake blond, Charley Hoffman. Johnny (The Lip) Miller was effusive about Rollins' swing. None of us picked Rollins anywhere this year. So much for dark horses.

Onward to Pebble Beach (Doug B., Art and Perry's backyard) where you have to get a bank loan to play a round of golf. I don't bother watching the first two days because I don't like forced humor (re: Bill Murray). I count ten of youse who love Weir this week in The Murray. I was in my library yesterday where I read that the "Little Lefty" has finished in the top 5 in The Murray over the last 4 years. How did I miss this? Can I take a mulligan? Guess who I'm rooting against?
