Funny how these players always seem to get "mental fatigue" if they shoot a 42 on the front 9 but seem to be just fine if they make the turn in 32.

I think people have gotten on Phil Mickelson, Angel Cabrera, and David Toms' cases for their respective stunts so they're not just picking on Tiger.

and the possibility they shot poorly because of the fatigue is not reasonable?

maybe they were paid off by the Horseracing syndicate

Question...
For the season long standings competition, is it compiled by our total scores (dropping the worst)? Or by compiling our total place finish (dropping the worst)?

I thought it was total score for the year, but the current season standings seems to show out place of finish, not the score

Its a blend of those two things...

it is strokes behind the tournament winner. This balances the "easy" courses where -60 wins, with the "tough" tournys like the US open where -30 is starting to look good.

Does that make sense?

Based on a projected cut (granted there are still a lot of golfers yet to tee off), I may have 1 golfer for the weekend

I am guaranteed 2 - one more possible

3 under for the day, no boogies to clear - one golfer to start

I'm also 3 under with one just 3 holes in, but I have one bogey to clear
My 4 were goosen, Donald, d. Johnson and Immelmann

Johnson may make it if the line slides a shot, goosen looks good, but still has 15 holes to go
