Who does a guy have to blow around here to get some CBS coverage of JG? I've watched a good bit today and haven't seen a single shot. Meanwhile, Kevin Stadler's round was being covered like his first name was Eldrick. Oddly, JG and Stadler were tied at -17 as I type this... Stadler finished with a 66 and JG was -5 on his round.
What gives? Is Kevin Stadler more interesting because his dad was a great player? They just said on the broadcast that if a player finishes in the top 86 on the FedEx list after this tourney, they are a mathematical lock to get into the first two playoff events. Hello? Our boy is 93rd and with a good finish can move into the top 86. Isn't that a neat little story? Can't something be made about the "Prince of Pinehurst" (sorry... had to) having a nice run at another NC venue? None of this occured to the producers in the CBS production trailer?

UPDATE: well, they showed JG canning a 40 footer for birdie on 17 after I put this up. Clearly, the FPGP blog has the attention of the suits at CBS.
They also spent 10 minutes of air time talking to Tim Finchem while golf was being played --- clowns.
Some day we will have PGA Tour TV, 10 channels of every back nine hole plus 1 channel of overall coverage. Maybe wishful thinking, but I don't know why they haven't done that yet.
