Cryptogram 15 Answer
"It's going to be difficult, but you learn as you go and everybody has got to play, so I don't see any problem." _ Zach Johnson
Cryptogram 15
It just dawned on me that I won't have computer access tomorrow, so here's a quick cryptogram. All the players on the Players Advisory Council seem very enthusiastic about the new FedEx Cup plan. Zach Johnson's closing thoughts on next year:

"Everything was easy. After the first hole it was kind of a freak of nature I think." - Ben Curtis

Ben Curtis: Uh-oh, I'm not the only player under 30 with a major anymore. Maybe it's time for me to win something again. Okay, so that's not a real quote, but here's what he did have to say after his opening round of 62:

Scramble-Up 14 Answer
"If you get yourself in the right mindset, anyone can do it out here when it's tough." - Geoff Ogilvy
Scramble-Up 14
First off, I am absolutely thrilled that Geoff Ogilvy is now a major champion although I certainly wasn't looking for anything as ugly as the way everyone else handled that 18th hole. I hadn't been that on the edge of my seat since Phil's 2004 Masters. That's how much I was rooting for Geoff this year. (Okay, I'll admit he was my second choice after David Howell tanked on Friday, but still.) I have a good quote from Monty that sums up this Open quite well, but it will have to wait until Friday's Mini-Crostic as the winner gets the honors.
Here's what Geoff Ogilvy had to say half way through the U.S. Open:

Splitting Hairs
I have a couple of quibbles with the new PGA Tour commercials. As someone who listens to a lot of Celtic music, the music playing in the Padraig Harrington commercial sounds more Scottish than Irish. Also, in Chris DiMarco's commercial, it says no one taught him how to hold a club as the screen shows his well-known claw grip. I'm pretty sure he got that grip from Skip Kendall.
On a side note: Trevor Immelman has what I call rock star eyes; his eyelashes are so dark they look like he's wearing mascara.
