Rooting for Jesper to find his way back to the winners circle today and for Lorena to get her first major championship.

Jesper ain't getting it done and Lorena is struggling coming in.

Good to see my girl Dina finish T-22.

Rooting for Jasper??? Well there goes your tickets to Augusta to watch Woody!:D

Go Woody Austin...my brother in law needs another LARGE check!

psst.....I get in free to The Masters whenever I want:D

Dear God....please tell me Morgan ain't gonna cry...again.

Too Bad about Jesper.....had a shot but couldn't finish. Is Bateman a first time winner?

Yes. Trying to find out if this is he same Brian Bateman that married an Islamic woman and changed his name for a while to Ahmad Batemen.

Interesting......I thought Ahmad Bateman was a Tight End! (j/k)

Different guy. Ahmad Bateman is playing on the Asian Tour and some on the Nationwide

Definately jumping up the money list...made 56+ this year...so he's got his card for next year!

Timm....very happy to see Steve Marino (former UVa golfer) have another top 10 finish this week. That should put him over $1 million for the year. Very nice rookie season thus far.

Great for him! I like it when rookies step up and play well,even if they don't win!

Dude, she had to wipe tears a couple of times today....Is she always like that or was Aunt Flow in the gallery this week.....oh and those big ole goggles she was wearing made it worse....

Jesper was sportin a nice lid today.....

Shes always like that Sam. Ms. Emotional

Kev,

Wasn't it up to about 10 years ago, that winning 1 Million in a whole season was a big deal? Is Tiger the sole cause of purses sky-rocketing?

Pete, I remember when Curtis Strange was the first player to break $1 million in a single season. That was 1988. Once Tiger came on the scene in 96-97 and the new TV contracts were signed, the purses exploded.

Since 1988 the number of players that have earned over $1 million in a single season.

1988 - 1
1989 - 2
1990 - 2
1991 - 0
1992 - 4
1993 - 5
1994 - 6
1995 - 9
1996 - 9
Let the boom begin
1997 (Tigers first full year) - 18
1998 - 26
1999 - 36
2000 - 45
2001 - 55
2002 - 61
2003 - 72
2004 - 77
2005 - 78
2006 - 93
2007 - 50 players through the mid point of the season.


I know one thing, if I was playing the Tour, I would be sending Tiger a thank you note every week.

Exactly true, Kev. And the fact of the matter is, if Tiger left the tour, things would revert back to the way they were. It's unfortunate, but it's TRUE!!

tsk tsk tsk
