Tiger and a Giant

Sunday at the PGA Championship started off with Tiger and Luke Donald tied for first and a number of other players making a run towards the top of the leaderboard. On the first hole, Tiger placed a 7-iron 10 feet from the pin and sunk the birdie putt. That was the beginning of the end for the rest of the field. Donald shot a 74 and was never in contention. Shaun Micheel put on a show, but never threatened. Woods had his way with the course, except for a bogey on 17, and finished at 18 under (tying his own record for a low round in the tourney) to win the Wanamaker Trophy. It is really crazy how focused and good he can play. I am sure everyone on the tour is hoping he goes through another swing overhaul sometime soon.

Two Premiership matches took place on Saturday as the Mancs destroyed Fulham 5-1. Rooney got a brace and even winker-purse-boy Crynaldo got one. The team looked in good form and will likely give the Chavs (who won 2-0 over citeh) a run for the title. But when the Mancs rested a bit, Fulham had some good play and punished the lax in defending by netting a conciliatory goal. This lapse in concentration could come back to haunt them, hopefully when they play the Arsenal!

The rest of the weekend was spent having a heat stroke while mowing, napping, and drinking wine. I’m really looking forward to the Fall when it isn’t so bloody hot out and you can spend more than 2 minutes outdoors without sweating through your shirt. I also watched some pre-season American Football, but can’t really be bothered too much as it is still only pre-season. Oh, and I started preliminary plans for a quick trip over to the new home of football at the Grove in October!

Finally, I thank my lucky stars I never played little league, especially against this kid!!!! I wonder how big he’ll be when he hits puberty!
