2013 Golf Season - Does it leave you scratching?

Re: 2013 Golf Season - Does it leave you scratching?

Thursday was a good day at the Greenbriar! :eek:

The PGA Tour’s stop in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., features one of the coolest fan promotions in all of sports: Cold hard cash is handed out to any patron seated around the green of the 175-yard, par-3 18th for each ace on the final hole, up to the first three holes-in-one of the tournament.

The policy goes as follows: For the first hole-in-one, patrons with a ticket who station themselves around the 18th green receive $100 cash. For the second hole-in-one? That’s $500. And a third nets those lucky fans a whopping $1,000. Greenbrier resort owner Jim Justice does the honors of doling out the dough.

On Thursday, there were two aces. George McNeill had the first hole-in-one of the day, netting spectators $18,900.

“A lot of new friends on 18,” a laughing McNeill, who carded a 3-under 67, said via ESPN Senior Golf Writer Jason Sobel. “They were all thanking me as I walked off.”

And when Justin Thomas carded an ace later in the day, the fans in the bleachers went bonkers; which makes a lot of sense, given his pitching wedge prowess prompted Justice to hand out a whopping $173,500.

I'm thinking he won't be ready for St. Andrews

Sean O'Flaherty, his chief spokesman, said McIlroy has withdrawn from the Scottish Open this week at Gullane. O'Flaherty said they would not know until later in the week the extent of the injury and whether McIlroy would be able to tee it up July 16 at St. Andrews.

Jordan Spieth wins his 4th tourney of the year. Birdied 4 of the last 5 holes to get into a playoff with Tom Gillis and wins it on the 2nd playoff hole. Kid has ice in his veins. Pulling for him to win the British

He's hard not to like. Gotta feel for Danny Lee. Takes a one stroke penalty for absent mindedly picking up his ball on the fourth (thinking it was lift clean and replace today) and missed the playoff by one stroke. Zach Johnson darn near jumped out of his skin when he was about to putt when some bonehead fired an air cannon whole going by in a pontoon boat.

So John Daly showed up in his pajamas at the Old Course. Not only that, he looks like a glow-in-the-dark catcher's mitt with eyes. Dude, stay out of the tanning bed. You look ridiculous.

Now we've got a wind delay.

We're not getting done until Monday.

They're showing the finish of the 2nd round today. They're live again right now. They had a 10-hour delay today due to the wind. 3rd round tomorrow and the final round on Monday.

I have to wait until the Number 5 has coverage. It's just on ESPN right now, right? Or the Golf Channel?
