Insanity

It's the simplest feasible word to describe the environment around PGA Tour headquarters and the FedEx home office Saturday night.

We all understand they deliberate the FedExCup Playoffs with this in thoughts. Nevertheless, does all and sundry clearly count on me to agree with that the powers-that-be, even of their most fevered hallucinations, ever anticipated this?

Tied for the lead you have got Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh, contributors of the "older technology" with 7 majors among them and who'd been pretty a lot written off this year. So what does Phil do? Post a little sixty four, it really is all -- the lowest round of the day by using 2 strokes.

One stroke returned you have got Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood, #1 and #four in the OWGR, with Rory coming off a prime and a FedExCup win simply final week.

Two strokes lower back you have Adam Scott, Robert Garrigus, and Dustin Johnson -- the "Heartbreak Kid" of the Open Championship and of the longest younger weapons on Tour.

Three strokes lower back is Tiger Woods. Need I say extra than simply "Tiger"?

And four strokes back you've got Zach Johnson, Graeme McDowell -- each with a major -- and Bo Van Pelt, who's making a case that he should have been picked for the Ryder Cup team.

In fact, 7 of these players are playing in the Ryder Cup in just a couple of weeks. We all know how much anticipation that's stirred up!

But that's not all. You've also got more big names lining up behind them, they're playing a course best-known for an upset major win by an unknown named John Daly, and the course is so soft that any score more than -3 is going to lose ground.

It's gonna be a terrific shootout these days, but I just wish the massive wigs get to peer it. With all of the ingesting and celebrating that went on in those workplaces Saturday night, most of them are possibly still seeking to make bail after the police busted 'em for traumatic the peace.
