Actually, all I did was touch it. 37 isn't so special for her, and she generally doesn't get too excited about any number that isn't red.

That being said, she is once again Club Champion, winning her match 4&3, making her 4 for 4 when entering the event. It was kind of funny--she asked if I minded if she used her middle initial on the plaque so that, when an archeologist finds the thing in 500 years, they can follow the string of championships despite her name change.

I guess that's better than hyphenating the last name

I hope I spelled that correctly, if not someone will point it out

Oh, she has changed her name; that isn't the issue. She just wants everybody to be able to follow the string of championships.

Great Putt

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Vijay rolls a 25 footer in ontop of Sergios 23 footer on the 1st playoff hole at the Barclays......good stuff right there, one of the more entertaining tourneys of the year going on right now.

[vol_in_ar]

If Sergio or Vijay could putt like that comsistently they would both have more wins, and Sergio would probably have at least a couple of Majors

it would be nice to figure out a way to get Vijay on the Ryder Cup team.

i don't think we stand a chance. the European team looks incredible this year.

Azinger will take a relatively inexperienced team to Valhalla in two weeks, with only six of his 12 members bringing any Ryder Cup experience -- Mickelson (1995-97-99-2002-04-06; 9-12-4 overall record), Cink (2002-04-06; 3-5-4), Perry (2004; 0-2-0), Furyk (1997-99-2002-04-06; 6-12-2), Leonard (1997-99; 0-3-5) and Campbell (2004-06; 1-3-2). The other six are all Ryder Cup rookies.


European captain Nick Faldo, on the other hand, will take a veteran team to Valhalla, with his 12 members -- captains picks Paul Casey (2004-06; 3-1-2) and Ian Poulter (2004; 1-1-0), and automatic qualifiers Sergio Garcia (1999-2002-04-06; 14-4-2), Soren Hansen (debut), Padraig Harrington (1999-2002-04-06; 7-8-2), Miguel Angel Jimenez (1999-04; 1-3-0), Robert Karlsson (2006; 0-1-2), Graeme McDowell (debut), Justin Rose (debut), Henrik Stenson (2006; 1-1-1), Lee Westwood (1997-99-2002-04-06; 14-8-3) and Oliver Wilson (debut) -- boasting a combined 19 Ryder Cup appearances and 41-27-12 record.
