I’m not a huge golf fan. I usually root for Tiger to win simply because I’d like to see him make a run at Jack Nickalaus’ record. I became annoyed with all the Tiger coverage. He cheated on his wife. Countless athletes, entertainers, and even regular Joes do that every day. It’s not my business. I actually was rooting for him to win the Masters  just to shut everybody up.

That was until I saw his Nike ad. He brings out a video of him staring at the screen looking like a guy who just got busted in a big lie. Feel sorry for me. Listen to my dead father and feel even more sorry for me. Come on Tiger. Don’t drag your dad into this, even though he was unfaithful. Be a man and take your lumps.

Now I’m rooting for Phil Mickelson.

Day 2 Update:  
Tiger finished day two at -6. Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood share the lead at -8.

Lucas Glover hung on to win the 2009 U.S. Open.  He wasn’t brilliant shooting a +3, but did enough to earn the victory.

Phil Mickelson made a run, but bogeyed the 15th and 17th to finish even.  Considering the limited amount of play Phil has had since his wife Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer, Phil’s play was remarkable.

Tiger Woods was one under to finish four strokes back.

David Duval was in the running, but was one over for the day to finish two strokes back.

Ricky Barnes entered the last round as the leader, but shot a +6 to finish two strokes back.

Ross Fisher was the top European finisher at -1.
