Roooorrrryyyyyy McIIIIllllrrroooooyyyyyyyyy! Clearly, Irish eyes were smiling upon me (even though I am mostly of Swiss, French, and Norwegian descent) as Northern Ireland's favorite son joined a prestigious list of winners at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Sure, Rory is one of the best golfers in the world. But he has rarely played his finest golf in California, and his track record at Pebble wasn't the greatest, either. At the risk of gloating, I must say what a terrific pick by yours truly! As Carl Spackler said in Caddyshack; "I have to laugh, because I have outfinessed myself." In any case, I am off to a fantastic start this season. May the Golfing Gods continue to look upon me with favor and be gracious to me.
We head to the Arizona desert for the biggest rager on the PGA TOUR, the wild and crazy WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. Let's see what chaos will ensue at the 16th hole this time around. And there is no word as to whether or not our good friend, Rob Zielinski, will be allowed to return after his shenanigans a couple years ago. One thing we know for sure; it is going to be fun. And few people love having fun more than this fellow. Currently ranked 19th in the world, my guy has an unusual bag that contains two 8-irons (?), a 9-wood, and a 2-hybrid he calls "Frank." There was a time when he used to intentionally shank golf balls at the range to psyche out his opponents. Now he is giving back by teaching the younger generation how to do it. With good showings at this event in the past, there is no better place for him to notch the second win of his young career. Three cheers for the former Pepperdine Waves standout and stud chess player, Mr. Sahith Theegala!
