As General Motors announced that it intends to use Tiger Woods in more diverse ways than a Buick pitch man, the World’s No. 1 golfer announced he’d be skipping next week’s Buick Open to devote more time to his wife Elin, and newborn daughter, Sam Alexis. …

David Toms continued his strong play this year, as he fired a 5-under 65 to move into a tie with Jay Williamson, heading to the weekend at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn. First-round leader Hunter Mahan is one shot off the lead after following his opening 62 with a 71, while Chris Dimarco is two off the pace. …

Former champ David Duval announced he has pulled out of next month’s British Open at Carnoustie, citing personal reasons. …

At the Wegmans LPGA at Locust Hill Country Club, Pittsford, NY, In-Kyung Kim and Mi Hyun Kim share the lead heading to the third round, with Angela Stanford two shots back. World No. 1 Lorena Ochoa is two shots off the lead. …

Tom Watson shot an opening-round 65 on a rainy day to take a one shot lead over Tom Purtzer at the Champion Tour’s Bank of America Championship. …

I've never received a push from a Dot Wong blog, not even a link to one of mine. Are they not worthy?

How good might Purtzer have been, if he had only applied himself? The tour's George Hamilton seemed more concerned with good looks than great focus.

I believe that Finchy might take a lesson from the way the Wegmans folks run their LPGA event near Rochester, NY. If not for the British Open, the Weg would certainly have replaced that old cigarette tourney as the fourth LPGA major a half a score back.

Tiger's going to have a lot of yucky poop on his hands this week. Nothing like the first week of changing diapers.
