Doctor, I think I have mathais gronberg.

I won't tell you where it hurts as he has not finished the tournament yet, but just when I thought I was making ground again... So I have to pull for Chris "get me another drink" Stroud while Mathais Gronberg shows up to play the best he's played all year. And if I needed another reason to hate the guy, check out his lid.

Is it that hard to hit a lay up shot?

It's the shortest par 4 on the course. You are a Professional Golfer, but you are 171 on the money list. I hope you never wonder why you are 171 on the money list unless it is to wonder that in a good way. You can't hit a 200 yard lay up shot? Good night Irene. Why does this happen to my FPGP picks?

Beer makes golf fun?

Take a par three, mix in a bunch of fans, add beer and [Jason Gore and Chris Stroud], voila, you get instant excitement ... maybe.

Whenever a player makes a birdie on the 174-yard par-three 16th hole at Grayhawk, beer will be sold at half price for 15 minutes at a beer truck parked near the hole, the Arizona Republic reported. A sky box and grandstands have been set up at the hole to accommodate the crowd. MORE

An Open Letter To Chris Stroud

Dear Chris,

Win first, party later.

Shades

UPDATE 10/13/08

Shades' roller coaster ride continues... while he had a great performance by Chris Stroud this week, he also had a great performance from his short pick, Mark Wilson. The net effect: there is a remarkably small gap separating 3rd and 4th place. Tev continues to hold a dominating lead... I think the only way anyone catches him is if Calcavechia actually plays and finishes a tourney in the top 5. We'll see.

UPDATE 10/6/08

Our first update in a few weeks... and we have a significant change. Shane/Jay have overtaken Shades for 3rd place. We have some nice battles going down the stretch.
