Mean Lean Golfer-Eating Machine

The Stadium Course giveth and the Stadium Course taketh away. For a tournament that would like to be touted as the fifth major, the leaderboard scores were pretty good. Birdie and eagle opportunities were plentiful this week. Unfortunately, heavy doses of bogeys and worse abounded as well. The course chewed up top names and little guys with no discrimination. Even Stephen Ames, the runaway winner, had a double bogey this week.

Golfer to watch this week: Retief Goosen was one of the few golfers who carded nothing worse than a bogey on any hole on his way to solo second. For his consistency, he was rewarded with a gain on Vijay Singh in the Official World Golf Rankings and is now listed in Tier II. He is the highest ranked player in the BellSouth Classic.

Bonus hint: World leader forced to resign for golfing

Odds & Ends

Signs of life: In the past month, we haven't seen much of the top 15 players in the world--Tiger Woods, David Toms, and, now, Luke Donald being the exceptions.

Random girlie comment: Luke Donald's bright orange shirt and Billy Mayfair's spring green shirt complemented each other very nicely.

Fantasy golf glee: With both Luke Donald and Geoff Ogilvy on my CBS League Championship roto-golf team, I was thrilled with the outcome of the Honda Classic. (It doesn't get much better than 77.5 points on the week.)

The sword in the hill (Looking ahead to the Bay Hill Invitational): Bay Hill is a draw for most of the top players, but Toms and Donald have earned a break, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco are also taking the week off, and David Howell is headed to China for the "European" tournament.

Golfer to watch this week: Colin Montgomerie tries again for that elusive PGA win
