Tiger Woods slept on the first round lead at the 91st PGA Championship here at Hazeltine after a bogey-free 67 (-5).
Shocker.
The more pressing question was W.W.J.W.D. - When Would John WithDraw? John Daly, in a painter's hat and purple paisley pants (I'm pricing what it would cost for Coach Thomsen to put his team in a football version of that pattern), started playing hockey on the 8th hole, his 17th of the day. He'd just eagled the 7th to get to +2, but hit his tee shot on the par 3 8th over the green and into a horrible lie. Missed a long par putt, then walked up and nonchalantly blew his short bogey putt past the hole. Kind of like I would when playing with Lance. Except I don't count those. JD doesn't have that luxury. He did the same thing on 9, his last hole, and signed for a 78.
That's the last we'll see of him this week. He withdrew shortly thereafter. There's a lot of good in John Daly, but more often than not it seems he can't get out of his own way.
ACU's own Jeev Singh shot 74 but was featured prominently in the par 3 coverage I hosted on DIRECTV and PGA.com. ACU golf coach Mike Campbell's brother, Chad, also shot 74.
I'll be back on today (Friday) at 1 pm (CDT) on DIRECTV and PGA.com. Click on the par 3 coverage. We'll have Tiger Woods in our broadcast window.
Prediction: He won't be wearing purple paisley pants. Mark it down.

Seriously Grant?? We tune into this site to see whats going on with ACU sports, not John Daly and Tiger Woods. If we want to know about those guys, we know where to look. How about some updates on the ACU football team?
I don't do much of anything seriously, Blake. But this is an ACU sports blog, not just football. A former Wildcat, Jeev, is playing in one of the biggest tournaments in the world with Tiger and JD. So that qualifies as blog-worthy.
There's plenty of football coming. It's good to get your feedback, blunt as it was.
