Second Round at Colonial



Surprisingly, Anthony Kim did not play as well as he should have this round. He has dropped to 6th place after Round 2 even though he managed a score of -1 today which put him at -8 for now. Tim Clark has emerged as the leader as of the end of Round 2, with 11 under par. Somehow he managed to finish with a score of -6 today. Throughout the whole second round, I did not even see him miss a fairway/green.

*Sigh* Due to heavy rains again, this round had to be stopped. Since many were not able to complete their second round yet, the second cut is not done yet. I hope the weather will not be wet during the next few days so that all the players can resume and finish off their remaining holes and to have the second cut made.

First Round at Colonial



And they're off! ...Well, kinda at least. Besides having the first round suspended due to the thunderstorms and floods on the course, first round at Colonial has begun. Anthony Kim, in the picture above, has put in 6 consecutive birdies so far! This is probably the longest streak in the PGA Tour for this season. Man! 6 birdies and they were all one after the other! I think this will boost up Mr Kim's confidence and put him in a position to lead the tournament with a 7 under score as of now.

The suspension of the first round has only let about half of the players, out of the total of 114 players, to complete their round for the day. I'll be looking forward on the Golf Channel to see more action from Anthony Kim!

2007 Masters Tournament

What a shock for everyone! This year's 2007 Masters Tournament has been won by Zach Johnson, who has only been playing in the PGA for less than four years. Though he has been missing the cut for 7 out of his 11 majors during his career, he seems to have passed the top players, including Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh! I think that's a huge accomplishment! With such limited experience competing fully with the top players of the PGA, I really look up to Zach Johnson's achievement. I think this is going to be a sign to the top players, like Tiger and Vijay to step up their game by practice even harder.  As this year's Masters Tournament was over 4 rounds, I don't think Zach's win was from luck at all. I really feel he deserves winning almost 1 million dollars for his hard work and determination, especially on his last round, which he finished 3 under par to put him in the place to win first place overall.
