Prime Time Golf

Brace yourself for a Father's day late afternoon of golf and early evening before you know who is the 112th U S Open Champion.  A 17 year old kid has a shot and Tiger looks dead.  There is something about watching golf when the pros are putting ten footers for par on every hole that just makes me feel good.  My guess the winner Sunday will either be Furyk, Dufner or Webb Simpson from Raleigh.  I told you this yesterday that Tiger's putter no longer can save him on days when he is all over the golf course.

Talk about feeling good Lauren Doughtie has another great day in the Players Championship on the Futures Tour.  She shoots an even par 72 and she moved from tied for ninth to tied for fourth in the biggest Futures tour event of the year..  Lauren's last five rounds of golf have been 72,71,69,69 72.  This is by far the best golf of her life and ironically she was four shots back last week when she won.  She starts Sunday four back and the Tournament is in Decateur Illinois.  I guess it is to keep from being in conflict with the U S Open she tees off Sunday morning at 9.25 AM in the next to last group of the day.  That tournament will be over by the time the leaders in the OPEN tee off.

Sunday night on the All New Sports Show you can see the Legion game played last Thursday between Rocky Mount and Wilson.  This coming Wednesday night I will be at the Sports Complex doing what could be the championship game in the Little League Tournament in Rocky Mount.

Sunday night we will be back to NBA basketball as game three will be played.  I don't know why they take so many days off between games in the NBA.  They last played Thursday  night.  I like the way hockey does it.  Every other night.  If you make the hockey playoffs you know you will play every other night until you are knocked out. It does not matter what round they drop the puck and play.
