They Call it The Monster for a Reason

Oakland Hills Country Club is living up to its nickname, The Monster. It's nasty, green and scary. Weather shortened the first round yesterday and it was completed this morning. Sixteen holes played OVER par - sounds like one of my rounds!

The two leaders after round one are much better known in places outside of the United States - Robert Karlsson and the other guy on tour with the last name of Singh - Jeev Milkha. So, the Low Round of the Day (LRD) was a 68. Click on the images to enlarge the Leader Board and see where you stand, right now it's Andy Cohen with a 2-point lead over three entries tied for 2nd place right now.

Oh, and by the way - even if Kenny Perry manages to play in another major - I won't be picking him, nor rooting for him. Up until this latest stunt, I was a solid supporter of him. I kind of admire a guy for recognizing his strengths and weaknesses and using that self-awareness when making both business and personal decisions. However, he should have simply withdrawn before the tournament began (his doctors ordered him to not wear contacts for at least two weeks!) - by teeing it up for Round One, he cost the 1st alternate a shot at competing - that's just selfish.
