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!!

A cracking field in this weeks Bridegestone Invitational at Firestone with all eyes and expectations resting with Tiger Woods. However, there are other contenders which the PGA Tour Video above outlines. This week also marks the return of Phil Mickelson. How great would it be to see him walk away with the top prize!

On a separate note, Irishman Shane Lowry, who won this years Irish Open, is competing. It is a huge step up when you consider Shane was taking part in a local competition this time last year and making €500 for his efforts. This week, with no cut in operation, he is guaranteed a minimum purse of €24,500. More than that however, the experience he gains from this week will be invaluable. I’m keeping toes, fingers, you name it, crossed for Shane and hope he has a respectable week. If any of you are attending the event, please check him out and give him a big round of applause. His rise to stardom is truly unforgettable and hopefully he can continue to progress in the game.

Finally, what a cracking name for a golf course…..FIRESTONE. The name alone is intimidating. In fairness, there are some great golf course names worldwide. Please leave a comment if you know of any worth a mention?
