Buick: Saturday Storylines
1. Tiger, 7 back: Tiger shot a 68 yesterday, but is still 7 back (-5) from the leader Brandt Jobe (-12). Tiger is using the new Nike Sasquatch (SQ) driver for the first time in a tournament, so he says he’s having trouble trusting it. On the first day, I think he only hit one fairway.
2. Phil, 6 back: Lefty is at -6. Sergio at -7. Full leaderboard here.
2. Jesper’s return: Forget about David Duval, for now. Jesper Parnevik is back. He’s at -10, 2 back of the leader, following up his stellar play last week at the Bob Hope Classic. If I heard correctly, Jesper said he got a new Titleist driver and loved it immediately.
3. Bubba (squared): How’s this for a threesome on Saturday? Long-driving Bubba Watson, plus Bubba Dickerson plus the volatile Pat Perez.
4. Sophomore slump?: Hammer time (MC) again for Sean O’Hair and Jason Gore. That’s 3 straight tourneys with MC.
