For those of you who don't recognize it, the title is a parody of a line from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Scotty has just transported two humpback whales onto a Klingon bird of prey (an alien starship) in which they time-traveled back to the 20th Century. It may be the funniest of the Star Trek movies:
The weather at the Hyundai Tournamentof Champions has certainly borne a strange resemblance to the storm plaguing 23rd Century Earth in that Star Trek movie. Nevertheless, after three days of delays the PGA Tour finally got started...
And Dustin Johnson got leap-started. The king of the three-spherical event is main the percent after rounds... And there is only one more round to move.
Defending champion Steve Stricker -- the token "antique man" in the discipline -- is three pictures back, and the sector begins dropping off from there. But because the Plantation Course is finally playable (DJ shot -7 within the 2d spherical Monday) the tournament continues to be very a good deal up for grabs.
Here's the 1-minute video from PGATOUR.Com of DJ's interview with Steve Sands after his second round. (Yeah, it's a thin little video!) Bear in mind that par at the Plantation Course is seventy three, that is why his -7 is a 66:
Keegan Bradley instructed GC that he had handiest taken more than one weeks off as nicely. He's 5 again of DJ, properly within hanging range.
Is this bizarre tournament a portent of what we might see in 2013? Will DJ go where no golfer has gone before (at least, I think it's new territory) and win three weather-shortened tournaments on the big tour? Is it a coincidence that players have gone humpback whale-watching in Hawaii this week? Am I reaching too far for a little humor?
Oh nicely. It's most effective the first match of the yr. There's plenty of time for me to do worse. ;-) But the Hyundai is jogging out of time to offer us a winner...
