A pattern emerges

Want to know how a guy is going to put himself in contention at the PGA Championship at Southern Hills?

Survive the front nine.

Score the back nine.

A pattern has emerged in the first day and a half. The front side is playing extremely tough. There are birdies out there on the front nine, but most guys are making their scores on the back nine.

If just surviving the front is key, Scott Verplank might be the guy to watch. He’s already finished the front nine with a string of eight consecutive pars and a birdie on No. 9. Most any player out at Southern Hills this week would gladly take that score on the front, no questions asked.

If Verplank can keep up the steady play on the front, the former Oklahoma State standout will be in the hunt come Sunday.

Jenni. Please keep writing about Golf and Tiger Woods. Even during football season you should write about Tiger. Tiger is great stuff! I would rather watch Tiger play Putt-Putt than the OU-Texas Game. But I warn you Ms. Carlson. Your affections towards Tiger have not been un-noticed by Dean Blevins! Deano loves his Tiger very much and wont go down without a fight!
