- More sad news in the LPGA world, as former player and caddie Danielle Downey was killed in a car accident. Downey has served as the assistant coach of the Auburn women's golf team for the past two years, after previously playing on the LPGA Tour between 2006 and 2010. My heart goes out to her family and friends at this time.
- In an interesting situation, Seahawks fan Fred Couples purchased tickets for the Super Bowl this Sunday. Only problem is, he is playing in the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Couples said he would make the decision over whether or not to fly to New York if he missed the cut. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on how you look at it), the decision was made for him, as he made the cut and will stay in Dubai to finish the tournament.
- Phil Mickelson's back ended up being well enough for him to compete. Phil is currently 8 shots back but safely made the cut.
- Matt Jones and Bubba Watson currently have the lead at the Waste Management Phoenix Open by two shots. In Dubai, Rory McIlroy currently has a one shot lead. Tiger Woods shot a second round 73 and is 8 shots back.
RECOMMENDED READING: TonyJ has a brilliant write up about LPGA commissioner Mike Whan and all of the things he has done to improve the tour. With tomorrow marking the last day of NBA commissioner David Stern's tenure, it's a good time to take a look at some of the people who have made a difference in the sports world. Whan is definitely one.
