I am surprised that Cook is leading Mickelson, it'll be interesting to see the outcome of this one.

You can't be serious....

Wow, Tiger and Phil, both out....

Could you imagine drawing Tiger in the first round? What a fate! Good for that guy that beat him, Tiger needs to lose every once in a while.

Well, Gogel has been playing really well this year....but Darren is the guy who beat TW rather soundly not too long ago.

I'm bummed Daly lost with as well as he's been playing this year. Howell vs Garcia tomorrow should be interesting as they're both young guys with a similar game. Goosen v. Olazabel should also be worth watching.

Thats what can happen when you just play 1 round and there is very little seperation between average scores relative to the variance of those scores. It looked like about a 1/3 of the underdogs won their match.
