Second Round Scuttlebutt

Well I had a blast walking around during round one. While the scene surrounding the 8th hole during the Tiger-Phil-Adam was one I'll never forget, it was just as fun to watch the some late evening play down at No. 3 and 4 with only a handful of fans around to watch guys named Stroud.

So much to say, but I'll let you check out my posts at GolfDigest.com (including a Friday preview) or a few items that caught my eye while watching the Lakers implode.

Doug Ferguson's game story covers the basics. Jaime Diaz says Tiger's knee is not an issue, but I'm not so sure based on the body language I saw on Nos. 9 and 18 tees.

Lorne Rubenstein describes the scene following the Woods-Mickelson-Scott group in succinct fashion, while Steve Elling bangs out an epic hole-by-hole account of the scene, including the surprising appearance of recent LPGA Championship winner Yani Tseng as Dottie Pepper's spotter. Bob Verdi says Torrey is no Oakmont and thank heavens for that.

And Fred Vuich's Gigapan of number 4 captures the beauty of my favorite Torrey spot to watch golf.
