Bay Hill Update

Tiger gave Arnie a heart attack! Well hopefully Tiger's W didn't send the King's blood pressure up. A question though, does this mean more or less Tiger coverage from here out? The Masters is usually a pretty balanced broadcast either way. The great picks in the pool keep on coming, very few MC's and Stephen Riddick took Graeme McDowell solo to move to 12th place.

One more tuneup for the pool before Masters week when this puppy really gets rolling.

Transitions Champ Update

WGC Cadillac Update...

A handful of decent picks but no winners and all four still alive in the cuts made streak advanced. Hunter and Chris had both Ryo Ishikawa in PR and Charl Schwartzel in Miami - they both finished top 5 and netted $700K+ combined. 

My big takeaway from the weekend is that Bubba gagged again but he was let off the hook because the media covers Tiger leaving the course like Al Cowling's driving OJ in a white Bronco. I don't hate Bubba, I hate that he continues to choke every time it looks like he's going to turn the corner on his career. He's too talented to keep handing tourneys over after he gets in contention. See all four majors in 2011 or his bone headed drop in the 2010 PGA Championship playoff as examples. Maybe Depends could be his bag sponsor at the 2012 Majors?

Honda Update...

Another week of strong picks. Nobody had Rory but nobody had El Tigre or former OCC student Tom Gillis. We're down to just four left in the cuts made streak. Two picks needed this week but only PR has a cut...
