hokie07 11 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Speaking of Drew Weaver, I saw this video on ESPN.com yesterday and have been meaning to post it. Such an inspiring video... http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?&brand=null&videoId=3332387&n8pe6c=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm so excited for Drew. He's a great representative of my school and I wish him the best of luck. That piece that ESPN did was amazing. It's great to still be receiving support for the atrocities that occurred here last year. The 16th is sneaking up on us pretty quickly, so stuff like that is somewhat providing a buffer leading up to next wednesday. With all that said, is there any way Tiger loses this tournament? I feel like it's going to take poor play from Tiger and someone else going off. Other than Tiger, who do you predict will do well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 If I had to predict who else has a great shot at chasing down Tiger I would choose Adam Scott. Ranked 8th in the world, Scott's swing is almost identical to Tiger's because he is a student of Tiger's ex-teacher Butch Harmon. Tiger Woods is by far my favorite golfer, but I have liked Adam Scott ever since he hit the scene in around 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I know Harmon doesn't work with Daly, but I just have to ask this question; how does the employee (the guy getting payed) fire the guy employer (the guy paying?) In the real world that is called quitting a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublue 939 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 You are correct. A play-on of words...."fired" should have been in quotes....I, also, misspelled Daly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokie07 11 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Drew Weaver finished with a 4-over par 76 in the 1st round. A solid round tomorrow and he could staying for the weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublue 939 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Weaver didn't qualify, but the other VT guy, Johnson Wagner is still alive. "Lefty" is lurking....Cink, (lives down the road here in Gwinnett, Sugarloaf, where they play the AT&T (Bell South Classic) is in the hunt. Tiger is back in the mix....he is capable...... but, can he do it? One interesting note, Ben Crenshaw, didn't make the cut....but, I was thinking he had a Tazewell County connection....Googled it...and his mother was born in Tazewell County, nee Johnson. I'm hoping Cink can keep it up....but, Phil, seems as if he's on a mission. The weather today and tomorrow could, however, decide the winner.

Tiger made a run....but Immelman's lead was to much in the end to overcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tiger had made a couple of putts today, then that water shot on 16 could have cost Trevor the jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublue 939 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Agreed....but Immelman's lead helped him survive the "kerplunk/splash" drive....which, I don't think anyone can comprehend how that even happened. The announcers first thought he was in the sandtrap....but, I knew it was water....oh my. Yes, if Tiger could have made some putts, but also, others just needed to do the same.... but in the end it was only "if they could have" and the "rookie" came away with the jacket.

bhs7695 185 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Blair O'Neal was in that?? I wondered what happened to her. I remember her from that Western Women's event at Fincastle several years ago when she lost to Candy Hannaman in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Scott Smith caddied for her all week...pretty sure they had a little thing for each other...she called him all summer from wherever she was playing golf...he even went to one of the events to caddy for her again, all expense paid by her... http://www.duramedfuturestour.com/PlayerBios/ONealBlair.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
