a professional golfer like Keegan Bradley can shoot a magical 10 under
on Thursday then shoot only 1 under for the next 54 holes. I told my
wife earlier in the day that I didn't expect him to hold on and win
because he had been fighting mediocraty since Thursday.

I don't particulary enjoy watching him play because of all of his
twitching and club spinning and general slowness in getting prepared to
hit a shot, especially tee shots. He has developed a reputation as one
of the slowest players on tour but never seems to be put on the clock
for slow play.

In article <25716-519...@storefull-3173.bay.webtv.net>, grizzl...@webtv.net says...
Ne tried to coast his way to a win and found out that others were agressively trying to beat
him.

I agree completely... I can watch him for about 5 minutes and that's
it. I can abide some "slow play" but his routine isn't just slow...
it's repetitive. Just when he seems ready, he backs off and goes
through his routine again. It must be agonizing to play with him.

The wind has really been blowing up here. The 60 happened right after a lot of rain. Plus, backing up a low score with another is tough. We are told that all the time. Doesn't surprise me much.

The ultimate is going way low to win. Like Duval at Palm Springs or Appleby at Quail Hollow.

Ken, I expected him to come back Friday with a close to par round, maybe
between -1and +1. But I didn't expect to see two more days of the same
level of play.

It was obvious on TV that the wind was blowing but other golfers were
shooting -3 and -4 rounds. But -1 for the next 54 was really strange.

It is hard to explain. That -2 I had recently? I've done not much since.

Also, there are horses for courses. I'm sure some players do not like the wind. Maybe Keegan is one of those.

Easy. Some days you got it, most days you don't.
