Rocco Rolls, The Shark Smooth

They don't give out trophies for this, but Rocco Mediate holds the best total score over the last five rounds of play in major championships. Rocco is tied for the lead with Graeme McDowell and Robert Allenby - all are at 1-under par, 69, and that was our Low Round of the Day (LRD). So, 69=5 points, 70=4 points, 71=3 points, 72=2 points and 73=1 point. If your player shot 74 or higher, they receive 0 points for the round.

Greg Norman carded an even-par, 70 today. He looked as if his game is in good shape (maybe he's hoping to get some back, after the $103 million divorce settlement). His new bride, Chris Evert, looked very pleased after Norman stroked a long birdie putt on 17. It's obvious that the Shark is still as smooth as ever.

Andy Cohen picked up right where he left off in the US Open Tigerless Pool, in the money. Cohen is tied for the first round lead with newcomer, Cary Petron. Amer Hasan and Mike Ridge are tied for 3rd.

There are quite a few tools on websites to track your favorite players. I like the one at The Open site slightly better than the one available at the PGA site. Check them out, it sure makes it easier to keep track of what's going on while you're in the office.
