Tiger Woods fires first round 74 at Quail Hollow



It's obvious there's some rust on Tiger's game, namely his driving. Tiger could only muster finding a mortal 4 of 14 fairways, missing both right and left in the first round.

Asked after the round if he was heading to the practice tee, he responded with "the hell with it" showing his frustration.

We'll see what Friday's round brings.

Cheers,

Tiger and Elin on a one-way trip to divorce court

As Tiger Woods and wife Elin Nordegren continue to live their separate lives, the notion of divorce is imminent.

"It's 100 percent happening," a source told UsMagazine.com. "It's going to take a long time to go through. [But Elin] will go through with it."

Before she boarded a flight to Sweden on Monday with the couple’s two children, Nordegren and her mother reportedly met with a lawyer to discuss divorce proceedings.

"It's going to take a long time to go through," said the insider. "[But] she will go through with it. She is all about being a mom. She will do it slowly and carefully."

With his estranged wife out of the country, Woods stayed behind and "partied like a rock star" Monday night at a Nickelback concert in Orlando, Fla., TMZ reports.

Nordegren, 30, and her children – daughter Sam, 2, and son Charlie, 14 months – are reportedly in Stockholm to visit family.

During the trip, the former model may likely pay a visit to the $3 million home in Vaxholm which she purchased in December.

"She is definitely planning on spending a lot of time there – they are gutting it," the source said of the private-island estate, which is said to be under "nonstop construction."

"She and the kids are going to be spending most of the summer there," the source added. "Without Tiger."

J. Bohn goes wire-to-wire at Zurich in New Orleans



Well Jason Bohn won his second PGA Tour title on Sunday going wire-to-wire. Bohn's last win came in 05' at the now extinct BC Open.

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans really didn't have any star power in the field, Sergio Garcia being the highest ranked player at 23 in the world.

And speaking of Sergio...another disappointing outing from the once promising and fiery Spaniard. Garcia went 73-69-72-76 to tie for 70th.

All the big boys will return however next week at Quail Hollow, so stay tuned for highlights.

Cheers,

John Daly withdrew from Zurich after making the cut

John Daly withdrew during the third round of the Zurich Classic on Sunday because of an injury.

Daly wrote on his Twitter page that he had "no choice" to pull out despite finishing 12 holes of the third round at the weather-delayed tournament.

He said the injury stemmed from his piriformis muscle.

"[B]asically my hip dropped an inch on swing & escalated to my back nerve & dropped me to my knees," Daly wrote.

Playing on a sponsor's exemption, Daly made the 36-hole cut Saturday on the number. He was one-over par and 15 shots off the lead when he withdrew.
