Tiger Great (again). Nostradamus Strikes (again).

You may have noticed that Tiger Woods won again (ho hum). Same old, same old. The greatest golfer on the planet lurks in the weeds, let’s the rookies self-destruct and wins his 55th tournament and 7th in a row. Based on what I saw on CBS, he didn’t even work up a sweat. What was absent, again, was Phil and V.J. and the rest of the crew. As I said just a week ago with my Nostradamus-like predictions, Phil Mickelson “melts like overheated plastic in a microwave”. It seems that the same can apply to V.J. when Tiger ...

Duval Ties Woods, Mickelson Flounders. Am I Golf's Nostradamus?

Friday January 26, 2007 | 10:35:50 194 words, 2786 views  
About four days ago I penned a blog posting discussing Why We’d Rather Love Duval Than Mickelson. Lost in Thursday’s hype of Brandt Snedeker’s flirt with a 59 at the Buick Invitational and Tiger’s T66, was the presence of David Duval tied, yes that’s right TIED with Tiger at T66. Also, as a footnote, Phil Mickelson sits at T124 with a lowly 74. To be fair, I do realize that these are just the results of the first round of a four round tournament and Woods & Duval will switch to the harder South Course for round 2. Now, ...

Why We'd Rather Love Duval than Mickelson

I was looking at the standings of the recently completed Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and noticed that former no. 1 golfer in the world, David Duval shot an 8-under 352 to finish T-39, AHEAD of Phil Mickelson who shot a 7-under 353 and finished T-45. Currently, Mr. Duval is ahead of Mr. Mickelson in earnings too, taking home a $20,000 paycheck to Mickelson’s $15,500. Now this might not seem like much, but it got me to thinking about two things: Mickelson will always be a bridesmaid never a bride and we’d love to see Duval rocket back up the standings and ...
