My number one pick and highest point-scorer is gone. Jon Ram-truck is clearly too focused on changing diapers with his newborn and off his game. Sad but he had to go. As is Ishikawa - whoever that is. Stepping in for the PGA Championship will be Collin Morikawa and Ryan Palmer. Good luck gentlemen. Remember - this is for the Tommy O Award.
Kiawah Island for the PGA Championship. Time for our second Major. Strong field lined up.

We have a new leader on the Tommy O Board
Sam Burns ended his round with a birdie, giving him 2nd place and pushing General Patton and HamBurger down to 3rd place. Critical points for Doug as he slips into the lead solo. Meanwhile, at the other end of the board, B.T.O. continues to struggle with Dustin Johnson withdrawing before the tournament with a bad knee and is uncertain for the PGA Championship.
Chapel Hill
I had the glorious opportunity to golf with The Legend last week at Chapel Hill. Words cannot truly explain the experience. Chilly, windy and wet would be a good start though.
Big J back in the lead
Everyone picked up points in North Carolina, except for your Commissioner. And I thought Big J would be going negative until the cut line moved late on Friday, getting NEWMAN and Frenchy barely in for the weekend. Ended up with 5 points for him and back to solo first place on your Tommy O leaderboard.
Time for some Byron Nelson
Great news Jim and Dave. Reavie and Fancy Pants are NOT playing so no lost points! Actually Jim, your whole team is taking the week off - I guess to rest up for the upcoming PGA Championship.

It's a two horse race now!
Big J’s guys took some time off and Doug has caught up. Of course, the guys that do play for Big J always make the cut. For the entire season, his 6 guys have missed a total of just 2 cuts. No other franchise even comes close to that. A couple managers have one player alone that has missed 5 cuts! (Dave - Peter Pan, Jim - Chex Reavie) And yet, Doug has still been able to claw and crawl his way up the leaderboard. Tied for 1st place. We may have a race with the PGA Championship just a few weeks away.

Really Doug?
How did this happen? 38 points and a huge vault into 2nd place. And Breakfast Souffle came so close to a 2nd place finish for him as well. Major Sidebet victory to Manager Doug.
Big J - another steady performance. 14 points and still a solid grip on the lead.
Dave - Dave? DAVE! Really counting on a Pete Rose win but 4 rounds were just too much to ask. With Dustin Johnson’s missed cut, it ended up with only 4 more points for B.T.O. - bringing him up to 10 exciting points for the whole season.
Paul - very impressed with your 12 year old kid. Hey - how about you throw him a burger and fries? Very impressed at how steady he was. 24 points for Paul and 3rd place.
In a strange, little known procedural move, Manager Monica has claimed Paul’s boy Zalatoris and in his spot, she is willing to give Paul her stud (who hasn’t played yet) John Suh. Very strange. Investigations have just begun.
My guy - Si Woo Kim - broker his putter Friday during a temper tantrum. I appreciate the effort but not in the middle of your round. I called him and said, “Whoa Woo - what you doing?” My team is just too young and raw for this league.
It’s been over a year but got together with Managers Monica, Doug, Doctor and Mrs. Commissioner at Coach’s on Friday. For the Doctor - about the only way he got to see his guys. Al picked up ZERO points for the Masters.
Going to Hilton Head next
What a great tournament. Forces the guys to leave their Driver in the trunk. Not me though. I’d still hit Driver, 3 Wood, two 7 irons then 2 more wedges followed by 2 putts. (Small greens - no three putts!)

A little tennis last week.
The Doctor is in the House
Had the honor of playing a little golf with the Doctor recently. Been a long time. For those of you concerned, don’t worry. There’s still lots of stuff going on inside his head.
little Billy Horschel
Congrats to Doug on Horschel’s big win at the Match Play tournament. Billy gets a big fat check for that win. Will he even play anymore this season? Or spend the rest of the year on a beach with a bunch of umbrella drinks?
Quick stop in Texas before the Masters
