Fred, Watson and Mickleson at the top of the leader board, with Tiger
on the ourside looking in. Could we just take this to the back nine
Sunday? I would take any of the three as winner right now.

It'd be very special to people who make the case that golf doesn't require
athleticism if some old geezer won.

Golf is a skill. It helps to be in shape. But there have been
champions who weren't, such as Bobby Locke or Craig Stadler or Billy
Casper or Jack when he was a pup or even Phil. It is what it is. You
don't have to watch if the lack of ahleticism bothers you.

You're a dumbass. I said that it'd be special to people who make the
argument that golf doesn't require athleticism. That doesn't mean that I'm
one of them. I root against the geezers because I don't want to defend golf
against those people.

It doesn't matter. When someone claims a sport isn't athletic, there
are no arguments nor facts that will change his mind.
