The Golden Bear

Here's a good interview with Jack Nicklaus from Golf Digest, where he talks a little smack, saying there aren't as many closers on tour as when he played. He points out how so many guys falter down the stretch. Interesting, especially considering the interview was done before Phil lost it again on the stretch at Riviera.

Here's a bit about Match Play being upset heaven. There are a lot of upsets here, of course, but the problem is that it's hard to pick them. You want to pick J.J. Henry to beat Tiger every time, but it seems like you pick a few upsets, like Paul Goydos going to the semifinals, and then Vijay wins the thing. That's why it's hard. That's why it's golf. That's why it's the FGA. If you don't like it...

GO PLAY INTRAMURALS, BROTHER! IT'S DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL! IT'S THE BIG TWEEALVE!

(Warning, loud volume. Funny! No bad language, though.)
