    If he won by like six shots, that might be good. But this went to a playoff and was decided by one stroke.

    I know. You're right about that.

    Try Paddy Whacked. I won't be using it.

    I'm trying to get them to go with either

    Irish Jug (jig get it!) ::) ;D

    Irish Eyes Are Smiling

    or

    Pot 'O Gold

    I immediately groaned when someone said "True Brit"

    I went with Paddy's Day. Yahoo can suck my left nut; I posted first, dammit! :D

    I actually thought about this today (damn, I need help) (no, I'm not working) and, if I found myself wondering if this would work: A pic of a pained Sergio under "Wire to Wire" with at least half of the second 'e' missing.

    Probably not appropriate for a gamer (or, perhaps, not for any headline) but it did cross my mind.

    Well we went with Paddy's Day also. Not by my choice though. It's whatever the designer wants to fit their overhyped design :D

    Or maybe with the last e, slanted, falling off from the main hed.


    At one paper I worked at, one of the designers went with this when Mickleson won his first major.
    The hed said: Greatest player never to win a major and then had a big X over it.
    And the subhed had something about mickleson winning his first major

    Thanks. But I did put a good heady on a Sergio sidebar inside that will run tomorrow.
