Van de Velde Alert (or 2012 Golf thread)

Cone threw a perfecto that same afternoon. VdV was the second story on Sportscenter that day.

 

I was interviewing for my dream job (at the time) the day of the Van de Velde collapse. It actually helped calm my nerves; I knew no matter what happened, there was no way I was going to f up that interview as badly as he f-ed up that round.

 

It was also the weekend JFK Jr.'s plane went down, forcing headline writers to avoid "Crash and burn" and "Dead in the water" headlines on the golf.

 

Kyle Stanley played at Clemson, came off the Nationwide Tour. He's about 5-8 and 150 and hits it farther than Phil or Tiger and is the same planet with Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson. It's a sight to see, and I've seen it in person. Kid will be a good one.

 

You had a job interview on a Sunday?

 

That was my thought too.
Who has a job interview on a Sunday?

 

A priest?

 

9 out of 132 players in field at Qatar Masters broke 70 Thursday due to horrific winds;

One of them; John Daly, who shot a bogey-free 67.

This has got 67-84 MC written all over it.

 

Fun little grouping in Phoenix today;

Bubba Watson
Gary Woodland
Ian Poulter

Balls were still going up as they passed Poulter's ball in the fairway, and he's not short by any means.
