Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
The Turkey is going to trot for a while, spending some time up in Pennsylvania. I’ll be back in August to take a look at the forthcoming season and to make the usual abysmally inaccurate predictions.
In the meanwhile, I want to say in passing that even though he seemingly choked on what should have been the final hole of the British Open, Tom Watson deserves a helluva lot of credit for being competitive at his age. Hell, he’s almost as old as this Turkey!
Another day at Turnberry would surely wear the old fella down after having been tied for second place with a first round 65, right? It didn’t. Tom Watson carded a 70, which at the close of the second day of tournament competition was good enough to tie him for the lead.
Sharing the lead was relatively unknown American Steve Marino, who coupled a 68 today with an opening round 67.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods is flirting with the cut, having shot a miserable (for him) 71-74.
This Turkey is, of course, rooting for the old guy. Can he hold up over the weekend competition? That would be great, but kudos to Mr. Watson for his performance thus far.
Old farts rejoice! Watson is pushing 60 and still has the goods, carding a 65 in the opening round of the Open at Turnberry. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods was shooting a 71.
