Been watching some of the action from Bethpage and it's a mess out there. It makes it tough to figure how the elements will impact the leaderboard. In horse racing you get a sheet that shows past performances that shows if the track conditions were fast or sloppy due to rain. Not sure we can accurately handicap Tiger, Sergio or Phil the same way. Woods was all over the place shooting 2 over on both sides to end round one at +4 but with no one shooting the lights out(it's only 9:30am our time) is still very much in contention. Another round of rain will really tweak not only the results but the coverage. In certain events they'll call it early and declare a winner. The folks from the U.S.G.A(US GOLF ASSOCIATION) don't play that. Each golfer who makes the cut will play 72 holes. If there is a tie, the leaders play 18 holes the next day. We may determine the 2009 Open Champ during our 4th of July barbeque. Time for some history and a chance for you to win a pair of free green's fees certificates to the magnificent Tokatee golf course up highway 126 in McKenzie Bridge. They were kind enough to host SportsTalk yesterday(thur) and now 4 of you will get to benefit.
E-mail the correct answer to this question to stevetannen@live.com
Tiger won the 2008 Open at Torrey Pines but needed not only the extra 18 holes, but an additional playoff hole before finally outlasting the gutty Rocco Mediate. Who was the last golfer before Woods to win the Open in a playoff and who did he defeat?
