When you come to think of it that is the secret of most of the great holes all over the world. They all have some kind of a twist. C.B. MACDONALD

/Video: Dufner And Hogan...More Similar Than You Think
/No, the Hawk never sported a soul patch but check out this amazing CBS/Konica Minolta Biz Hub Swing Vision analysis by Peter Kostis and posted by the PGA Tour. He may not have won Sunday at Colonial, but his swing is looking pretty Hoganesque.
Also, Dufner threw out a decent first pitch at the Rangers game:
2012 Colonial And Senior PGA Comment Thread
/I know the action at Wentworth wasn't enough, what with the first of fourteen senior majors today at Benton Harbors and the historic Colonial National Invitational. But with Jason Dufner going for a third straight win, there is something pretty serious on the line in Texas.
Na-t Happy About Being On The Clock
/Our Prayers Answered: Kevin Na's Uncontrollable Pre-Shot Drama Miraculously Disappears
/I think this means I need to go back and pull up some of the sob stories about this horrible disease that latched itself onto young Kevin Na in a cruel twist of fate. You know, the one he had no control over.
Because miracle of all miracles, Richard Durrett reports that Na played like his normal (slow) self Thursday at Colonial, instead of the offensive and rude wacko that overtook Na's body at the Players.
Na shot even-par 70 on Thursday, his first competitive round since that Sunday at Sawgrass. And considering he was 2 over after five holes here, Na was pleased he managed to get those two strokes back by the time his round finished.
His plodding play at The Players made pace of play a hot topic in the golf world. As soon as that tournament ended, Na vowed to do something about it.
"That was the only thought I had," Na said Thursday. "It wasn't about, 'Oh I need to go work or I need to get rest.' It was, 'I need to change this and this is all I'm going to do and all I'm going to think about and I'm going to get it done.' I'm actually surprised at how quickly I'm doing this."
Na's new routine has no waggles and takes little time. He takes one practice swing when he's at the ball, then puts the club behind the ball, looks at the target, sets his feet, and when he feels comfortable -- and it didn't take him long to feel comfortable Thursday -- he takes the club back and hits the ball.
Praise Our Savior, Dale Lynch!

Video: Phil's Super Cool Recovery Shot At The Nelson
/This was a fun moment from round two at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, with a livelier-than-normal broadcast team including Chamblee, Gogel and McCord essentially betting on the possible outcome of Phil Mickelson's 9th hole predicament.
And as with most Phil recovery shots, Phil got the better of the architect though even by his standards this one was pretty, pretty slick.
