12:42pm ET – Unfortunately Tommy “Two Gloves” couldn’t keep it together enough to get into the playoff at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Jason Dufner and Mark Wilson have tied in regulation at -18 and have just tee’d off in the playoff.
Jason Dufner has found the right rough with his tee shot and Mark Wilson has found a bunker right of the fairway. Wilson is actually in better shape, being able to get more club on the ball. The pin is very difficult to get at for both players.
After spending a couple of days slicing up HD video tape with a rusty razor blade, and taping it back together with golf club impact tape, the final cut of the 2011 Battle Of The Golf Blogs is done. Due to YouTube’s 15 minute limit, I had to leave a few scenes on the cutting room floor, so the “directors cut” of the movie may be available some time down the road…
The Battle Of The Golf Blogs is now in its 3rd year. This year was to be a tie breaker between myself and Dave Lair of the Orlando Golf Blog. I won the inaugural year and Dave won last year. But this year, we’ve grown the tournament field by over 100%, by adding our pals Rob Hayashida from Sandbox8, John Duval from Into The Grain and spotter/sticker Lindsay Dolamore.
Unfortunately I had to WD from the tournament due to my shoulder separation which occurred during a freak ski crash in the parking lot at Alta ski resort.
Who will be the champion golf blogger for 2011? Who will win the “Lefty Challenge?”
If you are lucky enough to work at home in your pajamas like me, perhaps you can tune into the last few holes of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Coverage has resumed on Golf Channel.
There are about six holes left to be completed and Mark Wilson currently holds a two shot lead (-18) over Vijay Singh, Martin Laird, Jason Dufner and Tommy “Two Gloves” Gainee.
Phil Mickelson is currently playing the 14th hole, but he’s too far back to contend this week at -11.
There are about six holes left to be completed in the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Play will resume Monday at 9 a.m. local time, or 11 a.m. ET. Golf Channel will have the coverage.
