67 degrees and sunny!
Picked up the action with John Daly, Luke Wilson, George Lopez and Samuel L. Jackson on the 10th tee. Funny group, especially Lopez who said when someone yelled, 'nice day', he replied yes, 'mail order...just like my wife'. Daly dropped a 20-footer for bird, and then dropped to his knees to thank the Lord. Jackson picked up, saying "I didn't want to embarrass myself." Watched Chad Campbell birdie the hole. He was with Cheech Marin and Don Cheedle.
Then we backtracked to #1 to pick up Weir (his 10th). I think made the turn at -3 for the day. We joined him on #2 as he was eagling the hole (his 2nd of the day). Then he went par-par-birdie before starting to implode. On #6 he sliced one to behind a tree, and made the shot of the century (Shell and I were 10 feet away), hooks it around the tree to put it on the green 220 yds away, and 10 feet from the pin! But...then in true Weir fashion, he 3-jacks it for bogey! That's how the rest of his round went...couldn't putt today. If he made some of those birdie putts, he might be at -12 today because his tee-to-green stroke play was pretty good. Weirsy played with Kevin Nealon (not particularly funny) and Kevin James (silent too). Both were hacks. Weir had about 300-350 Canadians wishing him well, groaning on every missed putt, and screaming on his eagles. He really is one helluva player, but won't win this one.
Finished the day off watching Justin Leonard, the 3rd round leader, and Jesper Parnevik, who is close to being washed up. Parnevik was playing with Meat Loaf and Alice Cooper, both pretty good golfers.
Sidenote: Roger Clemens backed out this week...likely preparing for his lies to Congress next month.
My gimp leg held up till the end and so Shell's driving home. Enjoy your snow :-(
