PGA GRAND SLAM 2007
Tuckers Town, Bermuda -The Grand Slam is in progress. Yesterday Paddy Harrington ended the day leading by one over Angel Cabrera at Mid Ocean Club in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Hawaii’s Poipu Bay was skipped over for Mid Ocean, which is only a 6,600 yard course. However, the greens were in pure condition and the swirling winds and ocean breezes are producing some unexpected results. Angel escaped with only one bogey for the day, but everyone else had their problems.
Paddy finished with a 3-under 67 and Angel missed a 15-foot eagle at the 18th for a final 68. Zach Johnson and Jim Furyk both finished with a 71 sitting 4 back.
Tiger withdrew from this one opening up the spot for his good friend Jim Furyk. Tiger is spending these days with Elin and Sam Alexis and does not plan to return until Target World in December.
Zach’s approach shot on the 2nd bounced into someone’s back yard. He was worried about messing up their lawn and spent a few minutes picking it clean. He got free relief from a stone walkway and then two-putted for a bogey. He and the rest of the field were shocked to learn at that point that Mid Ocean does not have an out-of-bounds.
Tune in again tomorrow…
