Weekend Reads***

In the wire service game story covering Tiger’s Torrey Pines win, I couldn’t help but notice this: “When it was finally over, he had his 41st career victory and ended an 0-for-21 streak in stroke-play events.” Forty-one wins…scary!
Also, don’t miss Steve Elling’s Golf World profile of Tour rookie Sean O’Hair and his struggle to succeed with an absolutely insane father, who appears to be like all of the bad tennis fathers combined into one egomaniac. Makes you really want to root for O’Hair to make it.
Also the San Diego Union Tribune’s Jay Posner has the story on Charles Howell’s horribly unlucky break on 18 Sunday, while Tod Leonard and Ed Zieralski in the same paper write about Tiger’s good fortune on the same hole, along with some other interesting notes, including the touchy 2006 Ryder Cup captaincy issue.
