Spring training and golf in Arizona

What a great day it is. It’s the first day of exhibition games for major league baseball teams, and Tiger Woods is back in action.

Later this week, I’ll be taking in an Indians-Athletics exhibition game at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. But first, there’s golf.

Today it’s the long anticipated return of Woods after his eight-month layoff rehabilitating from knee surgery. If you didn’t know who Brendan Jones was before this week, you probably do now. Do you think the Australian will get any credit if he defeats Woods in the first round of the Accenture Match Play being played down the road the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain in Marana, Ariz.?

I just hope it’s a well-played match on both sides.
