Where the hell...?: For once it's not my fault...
Don't tell me, the dog ate your laptop...: Look, there's barely a corner of the golfing globe this weekend where the weather wasn't rubbish and playing a top-line event in Florida at this time of year practically guarantees rain. Then some more rain. And some bolts of lightning...
Clearly they should have listened to you and not even bothered starting the tournament...: At least it would have saved me the indignity of being the victim of your rapier-like wit.
It also would have saved you from looking like a damn fool: So you heard that Geoff Ogilvy won, then... Obviously I regret running that cheeky caption after Day One about you enjoying him while you can before Tiger and Phil took matters into their own hands...
Does that also mean you lost money on Tiger as well?: Only the reckless and the super-rich can make money from betting on Tiger these days, although it looked tempting once he started putting the squeeze on this morning, cutting Ogilvy's lead from five to just two shots, giving himself birdie putts on each of the seven holes he played today (and still missing four of them!)
How did Ogilvy close out the win?: For once someone other than Tiger got lucky. Staring at a bogey at best on the par-3 13th, Ogilvy chipped in with his third shot for a ridiculous par. He carded a 71 for a total score of 271, a shot clear of Jim Furyk, Retief Goosen and Vijay Singh in second, with Tiger a further shot back in fifth place.
So that's the end of the streak, then...: Hard to stifle a yawn with that level of insight. I was more interested in Ogilvy's 60-hole streak without carding a bogey. If he'd managed another 12 he would have been the first player to go a whole tournament bogey-free since Lee Lee Trevino in 1974.
You know, you've almost won back my respect with that fascinating golf fact...: I found it of the WGC site, actually.
Why do I bother...?: Because I do all the donkey work and still make you look good...
