Wow, I just took a look at the leaderboard at Quail Hollow and it was pretty shocking to see so many quallity players towards the bottom.

T-141:
Kevin Streelman
Vijay Singh
Carl Pettersson
Billy Mayfair

T-145:
D.J. Trahan
Notah Begay III
Robert Garrigus
Justin Rose

T-149:
Adam Scott
Mark Wilson
Jeev M. Singh

I know we've all seen pros have a bad tourney, but I guess it just surprises me that there's so much talent towards the bottom this week.

what site do you use to follow the leader board? I still see tiger at -8, and I just refreshed......

There's quite a bit of talent at the top of the leader board also!

It just goes to show, and I've learned this the hard way playing fantasy golf the last two seasons, that any of these pros can win on any given week.

Yes, they rebroadcast the XM Satellite Radio Golf feed.

http://www.pgatour.com/multimedia/xmplayer/index.html

They have a few good shows on that channel all week long- great to listen to at work in the background- it's pure golf all the time. And the play-by-play during a tourny is pretty good also.

Wentorf11 - I've found that the pgatour.com website tends to be about 1/2 - 1 hole ahead of espn's leaderboard. It's nice to see some big names in a tourney this year that's not a major. Hopefully it will be an exciting weekend!

Right now I'm a Bubba guy. Here's hoping that he can do more than post one stellar round in a four-round tourney.

I could be wrong, but I would think that the PGA Tour website is co-located with the source of the scoring data. They must have a feed that sends scoring data to Yahoo, Golf Channel, ESPN, etc.- that has to be slower than then being co-located.

Unless there's some overriding value added by those other web sites, I would want to be at the source, pgatour.com... which has an excellent site for tracking the tournament.
