Either Bill Haas or Nick Watney won the N'awlins Open. I can't tell which, they like so much alike. Only their barbers know the difference.
Most of the better players took the week off so the tone of The Zurich seemed more like a Nationwide tourney. But there was still lots at stake, both money and status-wise. Down the stretch, I was rooting for old-school, Ken Duke versus new-school, Watney/Haas. Duke looked like he was almost old enough to be either's father. A two-shot swing on the par three-14th gave Nick/Bill a nice cushion and the eventual victory.
4 of us also-rans were rooting for Glover, who ran into a dull patch in round three. Otherwise, as Marlon Brando once said, "We could have been a contender."
Gripe-of-the-week department: There must have been one TV commercial per shot during the last 9 holes. I saw the same Zurich Insurance spot featuring boxes falling off a skip loader about 15 times. Avodar (The "Going Problem" medication) and Cialis (the 36 hour hard-on cure) were not far behind in the race to be most repeated. I don't need to be reminded about my "unit" this much.
Onward to Texas and the Lord Byron Open. Did I count right, seven Campbell's, 3 Donald's and 3 Wetterich's this week? Only two no-shows.
