MWPOW & Whatnot

First, here's the Michelle Wie Picture of the Week.

Brandt Snedeker, current leader of the Buick Invitational, and the new D.A. Points, is a 26-year-old rookie who played his college golf at Vanderbilt. That's cool, but not as cool as playing at UNLV with Chad Campbell.

Next, here's a preview of the South Course at Torrey Pines for those looking forward to the FGA Real Golf Tournament this March. Torrey Pines will host the 2008 U.S. Open.

Retief Goosen is leading the Qatar Open, as the Euros continue trotting around the Middle East in a style true to their colonial/imperial forebears. The winner of last week's sand romp in Abu Dhabi, the always inconsistent Paul Casey, fired a 72.

Interesting equipment news, the latest drivers are being made in square and triangle shapes. This way, they'll match Paul Goydos's head (left).


Bob Harig thinks that Tiger's impending family will not affect his golf game. No word yet on whether it will affect the birth canal of Tiger's wife, Norse war goddess, Freyja.
