The Tour Championship 2009 - Round 1
It is difficult to look beyond Tiger Woods as the overall Fed Ex Cup winner, such is the form he is in. However, two men very much still in contention for the top prize, Sean O’Hair and Padraig Harrington, sent Tiger an early statement of intent that they will not be giving in just yet. We all know the words “giving in” and “Padraig Harrington” are never associated with each other anyway, like chalk and cheese if you will, and it is his personal duel with Woods that the crowd want to see coming down the stretch on Sunday.
Sean O’Hair though is the deserving leader after his fine opening 66. Lurking a shot back is the trio of Woods, Harrington and Cink. It promises to be a great few days of golf and I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed for an Irish win. After all, what better week for an Irishman to rise to the top, than the same week we celebrated the 250 year anniversary of Arthur GUINNESS.
I raised a few GUINNESS already in celebration but I would have no hesitation in doing the same Sunday evening if Harrington does the business….just no more 8’s on the card please Harry….my eyes, heart and stomach just can’t take it anymore!!
