PGA Championship

What's Your Deodorant?

It's a wonder nobody died of the heat in Tulsa this past week, either player, fan or pet. My guess is the boys are grateful to get out of town...anywhere...even to the next event in North Carolina, where the humidity is awful but not nearly as bad as Oklahoma in August.

The obvious headline from the PGA Championship..."Tiger prevails." He played "smart golf." Playing head to head against him over the final two days, Scott Verplank and Stephen Ames folded like Bedouin tents. Tiger's had a remarkable year. Ties for second at The Masters and The U.S. Open and a T-12 at Carnoustie. All nicely sandwiched around the birth of his first child. Not too shabby.

Yesterday marked the two month anniversary of my prediction that John Daly would kill himself within sixty days. My prediction was wrong. He's still alive. An interesting TV moment occurred when Daly was spotted by the CBS cameras kissing his steak knife-wielding bride in the parking lot while she was pushing a baby stroller. Which begs the question; have they made up? Has he forgiven her and dropped all the criminal charges? What's next in the saga of the people's choice, "Big John?"

In our funky pool, our money leaders, The Donald (Ogilvy) and Scott Winegar (Immelman) pad their totals. Time is getting short to make up ground for us "also-rans."
