QUESTIONS - British Open edition

 

I think he might be my favorite golfer in the world right now. When nobody ever makes a move at Tiger, DiMarco does. He went through his fair share of tragedy leading up to the British with his mom suddenly dying July 4th. It makes me giddy that he will almost certainly make the Ryder Cup team and if he's not one of the top 10, Tom Lehman would single-handedly redefine the word "stupid."

 

3.) Did you catch something Peter Alliss said on the air?

 

4.) What were your thoughts of Royal Liverpool?

 

In the minority here as far as I've heard, but I really liked it. Two par- fives in the last three holes? That's awesome. Sure it was browner than a chocolate Easter bunny, but I thought it was fair and much trickier than the scores indicated. With no wind, any course in the United Kingdom is defenseless.

 

Ryan Moore is ready to break out. This is the time with a semi-weak field. By the way, collected my first win last week with Tiger. The season starts in January, so finally winning in late July is certainly not bad. Also, I'm pegging Eduardo Romero in the Senior British.

 

1. Tiger Woods - two odd stats - never won a major coming from behind and hasn't won the PGA since 2000. Better get on that. 2. Phil Mickelson - will never win a British Open. 3. Vijay Singh 4. Retief Goosen 5. Jim Furyk 6. Ernie Els - he's back. Everyone calm down. 7. Geoff Ogilvy 8. Adam Scott 9. Chris DiMarco 10. Luke Donald

 

WOMEN 1. Annika Sorenstam 2. Lorena Ochoa 3. Karrie Webb 4. Michelle Wie 5. Se Ri Pak 6. Cristie Kerr 7. Natalie Gulbis 8. Mi Hyun Kim 9. Brittany Lincicome 10. Paula Creamer/Juli Inkster

 

Ok, here's the change that's coming with regards to the column. Beginning either this week or next, I am going to start doing a blog. This is something that I've carefully thought about and am really excited about doing. Not sure how it will impact this column yet, but look out for the blog either later this week or the middle of next week.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
