Well, pardners, I do not guess no golfers is been shot down thar in Texas... But they sho is lots of gimpy horses at that rodeo.
Okay, sufficient with the bad cowboy lingo. Let's get all the way down to it -- there are a variety of injured gamers at the HP Byron Nelson. A LOT.
The match is being led by means of Peter Hanson, who has been present process decompression treatments for a terrible lower back.
David Duval didn't even know if he could play because he's got pain in his right elbow. (Sounds like the tennis elbow-type pain that gave me trouble at the golf course last week, although David's is clearly much worse.) Since he's gotten so few sponsor invites he decided to try and play anyway. Now he's just one back of the lead. In fact, I understand that this is David's best position after the first round in 12 years.
Tim Herron is getting better from knee surgical treatment. He's 3 off the lead. So is Louis Oosthuizen, who is nevertheless managing his persistent returned pain.
Patrick Cantlay is in the end back playing after nearly a 12 months of back problems. He shot even par.
Briny Baird is likewise dealing with again issues that forced him out of THE PLAYERS after only 27 holes. He's 2-over.
And as it stands right now, absolutely everyone however Baird -- if you'll pardon the pun -- is in pretty correct shape. (Baird is T89 after the primary round; Cantlay, via contrast, is T45.)
Will any of these men win? Who knows? But one issue is for positive... It makes you marvel if there is not a few fact in that antique adage, "Beware of the wounded golfer."
