Since I have been working late since Wednesday and will be again over the weekend I haven't been able to pen my usual coverage, so here is my Saturday morning wrap of what to look forward to as I see it this weekend.
PGA Tour The Barclays leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/the-barclays/leaderboard.html
Bubba Watson is where he seemingly has been almost every time he has teed it up this summer, near or in the lead. This time he is in the lead by a shot after a -2 68 got him to -7 133 and that score included a warning for playing to slowly at the 16th where he took over a minute to figure out how to hit it into a tough pin placement, when 40 seconds is the maximum the guys are allowed. Two warnings invokes a stroke penalty.
Jordan Spieth missed the cut by 5 shots 74, 73 and he did get a penalty at the 13th for stepping on his ball while searching for it and with that he drops out of the world #1 ranking, which goes back to Rory who is working out and enjoying life I assume somewhere in Florida..
Who knows who will beat Bubba but I can report Zach Johnson is still playing well, in particularly putting well as he made five birdies and a whack of par savers for -5 65 and is at -6 134 along with Henrik Stenson (66), Tony Finau (69) and Jason Dufner (68).
Canadian scores, Graham DeLaet MC, David Hearn 70,69 -1 139, Nick Taylor is E 140, T40.
European Tour D+D Real Czech Masters leaderboard http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2015/tournamentid=2015066/leaderboard/index.html#5lpDIorV7tiO1FAl.97
With round 3 underway, is was Matthew Fitzpatrick a 20 year Englishman and Pelle Edberg the veteran Swede who both shot -5 67 on Friday to share the lead after the second round of this Czech Masters at the Albatross Golf course near Prague.
Thomas Pieters of Belgium was one shot back after carding a 68, and this morning he is -3 with an opening eagle and has joined Edberg -2 in the lead at -13 through 6 holes while Fitzpatrick at E par is stalled at -11.
Champions Tour Dick's Sporting Goods Open leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/champions/tournaments/dick-s-sporting-goods-open/leaderboard.html
Course specialist Gene Sauers shot a -6 66 along with Paul Goydos for the first-round lead on the En-Joie Golf Club in Endicott NY. John Huston a former winner is in with -5 67 as is Ian Woosnam.
Peter Senior with -4 68 is T5 as are Rod Spittle, Jeff Maggert, and Willie Wood another past winner amongst others while defending champion Bernhard Langer had a 71.
John Cook who has stepped off the set at the Golf Channel was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard. He made an eight at No. 16 and signed for a seven.
Rod Spittle fired five birdies on this short tree lined course on his way to -4 68 while our other Canuck, Stephen Ames is in with E 72.
LPGA Tour Yokohama Tire Classic leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/yokohama-tire-lpga-classic/leaderboard
The women have packed their bags and flown from Vancouver down to Prattville, Alabama and it's nice to see a familiar name back atop the leaderboard.
Whatever happened to Taiwan's Yani Tseng who you may remember was #1 in the world for a couple of years, but has now slipped to 75th and hasn't won since the 2012 Kia Classic.
Well she says she has been practising harder than ever to get back into the winners circle, where she has been 15 times already in her career, and yesterday she topped off her round with an eagle, birdie finish for -8 64 and a one-stroke lead at -10 134.
Play was suspended 90 minutes because of lightning and rain so some of the field are out early today to finish round one.
Austin Ernst was second after a -7 65 -9, and Lexi Thompson was third at -8 after a -5 67.
Canadians : Brooke Henderson is -3, 71 70, Alena Sharp, -1 71 72. Sara Maude Juuneau 76 73 +5. Jennifer Kirby 77 76 +9. Sue Kim 74 +2 Rebecca Lee Bentham WD.
The cut is projected at +2.
