This publish is type of a mishmash from four excursions because I discovered Friday's rounds at all of them very interesting.
You see, all of them have something or someone dominating the broadcasts.
The LPGA event in Arkansas is simplest three rounds however they did not even get the primary round finished. Rain -- and lightning -- came in all through the TV window and there simply wasn't enough time to get it accomplished.
M.J. Hur -- pictured above -- is the current chief by means of two strokes at -8 even though she nonetheless hasn't completed her first spherical. (She started out four hours late and has four holes left.) Anna Nordqvist, Brittany Lincicome and Azahara Munoz all completed and posted -6, so it is going to be interesting to peer the way it all performs out. Supposedly the weather could be better this weekend.
However, I seem to do not forget Stacy Lewis prevailing the first one when it became rain-shortened to 18 holes so I'm now not protecting my breath...
Over in Germany at the BMW International Open, Rafael Cabrera-Bello from Spain holds the lead through a single shot after rounds of -7 and -five. The latter blanketed a chip-in birdie after drowning his approach at the par-5 18th. Cabrera-Bello has been gambling well most of the 12 months however hasn't been capable of close out a tournament in some time. Perhaps that is his week.
Martin Kaymer overlooked the reduce, btw. These last weeks have not been very kind to him.
The actual fun appears to be on the PGA and Champions Tour events, in which each are led by way of Watsons.
Bubba Watson is leading the Travelers Championship with the aid of two shots, which isn't any surprise due to the fact that he seems to very own the path. GC said he's some thing like 89-underneath in view that 2010, which is 20 pictures decrease than the subsequent closest player. Bubba turned into quite tactful whilst he instructed GC that the veggies there were very smooth to putt due to the fact anything appears clean after a US Open.
Ah sure, Bubba the baby-kisser. I in no way saw it coming, it really is for positive. But you could see his top play at the Travelers coming from 1/2 a continent away. After all, he ALWAYS performs properly there.
And over at the US Senior Open, Tom Watson is tied for the lead at -5 with Peter Fowler -- a pro from Europe -- and Jeff Maggert, who I went out of my way NOT to pick in my "5 to Watch" post a few days back. Jeff, was it something I said?
Watson's four-underneath sixty six on Thursday was simply one shot shy of his age, sixty five. Like I preserve telling you, if you need to play properly for a long term then Tom Watson has a good swing to replicate!
Of my selections, Colin Montgomerie is one shot lower back, Bernhard Langer and Kevin Sutherland are two shots again, and Miguel Angel Jimenez is five lower back at even par. The direction is gambling very hard -- and particularly warm, with temps around 102 ranges Fahrenheit (that is 39 ranges Celsius for the relaxation of you) -- so I'll stick with Monty as my probably winner.
Fred Couples failed to tee it up due to returned troubles but I did pick out him as a flier. I just failed to expect him to fly away earlier than the occasion even started out!
My point is, ALL of the events look to be pretty interesting this week... but you'll have to hunt around for the ones you want to watch. Remember that the LPGA and ET will be on GC, the PGA Tour on GC and CBS, and the Champions Tour on FoxSports1 FOX if you want to watch any of them.
