Better give someone else the responsibility today. It is going to be even more exciting!

Let's have Anthony Kim get 3 up on Sergio by the turn and never look back.

How sweet that would be!

giggle

So Sergio wins the 10th so Kim is only 2 up.

Next hole, Kim pars and Sergio has a rather short putt for par. Sometimes, golfers give a short putt to their opponent during match play.

Much to the surpirse of the talking heads, Kim does not give it to Sergio and he has to putt.




He misses!



Kim goes back to 3 up!


I hope Buff's kids are getting fed!

Make that 4 1/2 - we only need 14 1/2 to get the cup back.

Justin loses - Europe has it's first point for the day.

Baby Boy could follow. He saved his butt by halving the last hole.

Hey Peababe!

Husband1111 was wondering about one of the ads. Maybe you know.

There was a Lexus ad where there were 4 cars and 4 golfers and they give the cars to them to drive. Raymond Floyd gives his keys to someone else to drive and is in the backseat. Does he not drive a car?

If someone else knows, it doesn't have to be Pea who answers....

Here is what I could find. No idea if this is true:

The reason they have him in the back seat is he is in the LS460 vehicle. The LS460L has all of the amenities in the rear, kind of like a Maybach. The rear seats recline and have a foot rest, there is a table, a refrigerator, and heated/cooled/massage in the seats. You definitely want to ride in the back of this car, not drive it!

Thanks Pea. A little subtle, but an answer.

I could only find the joke answer about his driving (golf) ability.

I found a whole lot of complaining about the commercial!

I've never had a baby boy on the PGA tour - but if I did, I would replace him with Anthony Kim - talk about setting the tone for an ass-whipping.

I can't believe the number of birdie (and a couple of eagle) putts within ten feet today.

and you gotta love the redneck trio of Boo, JB and Kenny - the euros had no idea how to deal with them.

Someone asked Baby Boy to describe Anthony Kim, starting with Anthony Kim is....... He said a very very funny guy.

The Europeans had always said we did not have enough fun. Kim brought fun and energy and all that great stuff to Baby Boy as his partner.

Boo was great in having the 13th man make a difference.

Kenny Perry, for an old fart, was fabu.

Watching JB bring it home had me all teary.

Especially since JB is a good ole Kentucky boy. Azinger chose him because of his familiarity with Valhalla and it seems to have paid off.

As I recall he said "dude" not guy. It sounded very odd.

Azinger said that he wanted more players on his team that said "Dude." (In other words, he really did not care about having a bunch of experienced, older players.)

There was a lot of post-mortem discussion about the absence of Tiger Woods, with John Feinstein suggesting on NPR that the team had a better chance of winning without him than with him. I can't recall the rationale now, but it had something to do with placating Woods by the pairings.

LOL - I never even noticed that.

I just watched Baby Boy's eyes as he spoke and saw that he really enjoyed his time with Anthony.
