Benching Tiger in the last round didn't work as I planned.

Tight race, congrats JG,JL. I feel bad for McIlroy, but he was very mature, humble and gracious in his interviews. Not one of those mechanical-Tiger responses.

I was just signing in to remind you. I love watching the Open. It is a different culture and feel. Who will it be.....Luke Donald, Steve Stricker, Lee Westwood, Phil Mickelson? I'd like to see Phil get another piece of the Grand Slam, but I don't think he has the game. Stricker, maybe. Probably some Italian guy.

Thank God I made a preliminary lineup on Monday... I went to adjust my roster and am 12 minutes late.

Tomorrow I'll probably forget, too!

Well...I got in for round 2 and sucked, 3 pts. Those limeys! I'm going with 3 Americans for round 3 and probably 4. I'll be in Annapolis for the weekend and will probably be too drunk to think about changing my team for Sunday. Good Luck Boys!

Holy crap. I hate when life gets in the way of fun. Our company imposed a zero tolerance policy on internet use outside of business. I had a hard time justifying the Godfathertrilogy.net as a work related site. PooP.
