UPDATE 7/29/08

Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday...

Wieeeeeeeeeee

After a stunning DQ after taking the 1st round lead in this week's LPGA event, there comes this info:
Fresh off a disqualification on the LPGA Tour, Michelle Wie has decided to tee it up against the men, again. Wie will play next week in the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open, the first time she'll play on the PGA Tour this year, tournament organizers said. MORE

So now some questions.
1. Will she make the cut?
2. Will she shoot over 80 on either day?
3. Will she have a better 2 day score after Friday's round than...DiMarco, Uresti, or Stroud?

UPDATE 7/21/08

Some big time shakeups in the FPGP this week... Big time play from Ian Poulter, and some decent play by Nick Flanagan and dare I say it... David Duval, who finally got off the Gossett... coupled with Ken Duke destroying the "short" hopes of Stan and Vic... and we have a new top 3.

And a special thanks to Excal for taking the "prohibitive favorite", Sergio Garcia, in our bet this week. Yes, always wise to pick the guy who choked his way into 2nd place the year before, rather than taking the defending champ, bum wrist and all. That's $100, and it gets me dormie for the year.

And the winner is.....

Well it should have been. I don't know if anyone else saw it, but on the back nine (I don't remember which hole) Paddy went to mark his ball on the green and in doing so hit the ball BEFORE placing his mark. Now I know we all do this, but we aren't playing in The Open. The announcers on ABC even made a few comments that referenced it, but no one would clearly say it. So basically he moved the ball on the green with his thumb THEN placed his mark. Now I realize that Paddy one by more than the 1 stroke penalty he should have taken, but the fact is he didn't take the 1 stroke penalty. Are there no phones to the R&A? In this country every country club in America would have had a member use his cell phone to call the PGA Tour and insist they "look at the tape".

Regardless, Ol'Even Poulter did good.

BRITISH OPEN SIDE BET

Me vs. Excal, once again.

Same rules as always, although I'm happy to waive the "No Tiger Rule" if Da Former Commish wants to take him.

Our picks are in the comments section. Excal gets the first pick.

UPDATE 7/7/08
