Nick Faldo stated golfers are to chummy with one another, thus dulling the competitive desire making them ineffective in winning tournaments. Mr. Faldo feels too many of todays players spend too much time together, unlike his era. As he spoke Seve Ballesteros nodded vigorously in agreement. Considering the two of them won over 100 tournaments and 11 major championships their opinions carry some weight. Mr Faldo alluded to the comfort level todays professional golfer can attain, since one can become a millionaire in six months time today, rather than have to build a brand and thus a future by winning.

Sergio Garcia leads The Open Championship by three shots after 54 holes. His first 54 hole lead in a major championship. Steve Stricker shot a course record 64 for solo second place. Tiger Woods bopped a women on the noggin and shot 69 to finish eight shots off the pace. Certainly Mr. Garcia is happy to be paired with Mr. Stricker rather than Mr. Woods. His history in that group with Mr. Woods is sorry at best. We’ll see if Mr Garcia’s adoption of the belly putter can cure his final round putting woes and lead him to the podium as The Open Championship.
