Tiger and Annika Rock the Tour!

As per my March 3rd Weekly Golf Blog, I chose to watch the final round of golf at Doral.
I usually root for the underdog as so many of us golfers do, and was surprised that Mickelson didn't win! His mental game must be alot stronger, because he won the last two PGA Tour events. But, when it comes to Tiger lurking in the shadows, I guess Phil needs to push his mental game even further.

Don't worry Phil, the majors haven't even begun and you really are ready for them! I suspect that you'll win at least one major this season, Phil, but I'd like to make a wager that you might even come away with two main events! And, please don't forget that you won the Grand Slam of Golf last year which pitted you against the other PGA major winners...remember the 59!!! And, never forget that 60 to start off this season!

Also, congrats to Annika! Sorenstam really knows how to put the pressure on when the going gets tough! Another person who had trouble with her mental game last week was Lorena Ochoa. Perhaps the pressure of Mexico was upon her shoulders. That's okay, Lorena! Last season you reached 3rd place on the LPGA Money List. That's no small feat! I'm rooting for you to win at the Kraft Nabisco Major in April!

And, to finish off, Barry and I had a nice weekend in Atlantic City this weekend!

Phil, Tiger and Vijay, Lorena - Who Should I Watch This Weekend?

With 11 of the top twelve players headlining at Doral, it seems more like a parade than an actual event! Only Ernie El's is missing in the lineup as he will be at the Dubai Desert Classic this week. And that's too bad, because I think Els is a joy to watch. His swing is so slow and has such good tempo that I really miss watching him! So, I will make sure that I catch the Dubai Classic this week at well.

This is going to be a big week in golf. The LPGA is going to be in Mexico for it's first tournament there in 30 years! Petite Lorena Ochoa is playing against Annika, Karrie Webb and most of the LPGA's top guns. Lorena has made it her goal this season to be in first place on the money list for 2005. She's gunning for Annika by hitting more fairways and greens in regulation. That's no easy task, but, with Mexico cheering for her, and American fans watching, she just might wind up at the top of the leaderboard.
I'm heading out this weekend to Atlantic City to celebrate my husband's birthday. I already got him a gift, a brand new Taylor Made R5 Driver...he's going to write his blog about the search - go to: http://www.justablog.myblogsite.com.
Of course this might take him a few days to write. The weather is cold and snowy here in the northeast, so practice is at a minimum...AND, we'll be in AC for the weekend!
