"TWICE in five years? Frick!"

Following Saturday's 17th and 18th holes, two is the number of times that Tiger Woods has carded back to back three putts in a single round on Tour in the last five years. The last time he did it was at the 4th and 5th in the 2006 Buick Invitational which he then went on to win. At this point, if I was a TV commentator or Mystic Meg or something I might suggest that it's an omen and that he's on his way to victory. I'm not either of those things though, so I won't.

there's always one bloke in the crowd, showing off...

Hang on, shouldn’t you be finished by now?

Why?

Because a Sunday climax would clash with the Super World Series Megabowl or something.

Of course, the Super World Series Megabowl, who do you fancy in that?

I think it'll be close between the Detroit Eagle Kickers and the Southern Seattle Snake Scorchers.

Good stuff, so anyway, what's going on in the golf?

Well, Brett Wetterich leads by one shot, at 13-under, after a par save at the fourth that Phil Mickelson described as “just amazing.” After lumping a three-wood into the trees, Bretty Wetty needed six drops before he could play a stunning 220 yard five-iron which landed four feet from the pin.

Bretty Wetty? That's terrible. Who else is in contention?

Arron Oberholser is on his own in second at 12-under. Mickelson owns third place at 11-under and Woods and Aaron Baddeley share fourth.

So Mickelson's doing well, dare I ask about the other IGWT tips?

Mark Calcavecchia didn't disgrace himself but has no chance of winning, Rory Sabbatini fared better and finds himself only five shots off the lead.

Didn't disgrace himself? You mean like befouling the green or something?

Hello?

Tiger gets outdriven by a little girl...kinda

He still has both his original hips you know...

On this day, in 1966, Bruce Devlin won the Carling Open, the third of his eight PGA Tour wins.

Bruce William Devlin was born in Armidale in Australia in 1937 and turned pro in 1961. He had one win on the senior tour before retiring from playing to concentrate on commentating and golf course design. To date he has designed over 150 courses all over the world.

Also on this day, in the year 301, the world's oldest republic and worst football team, San Marino, was founded by Saint Marinus.

Meanwhile, in 1995, eBay opened its virtual doors giving everyone the chance to buy and sell their unwanted junk world-wide.

And it's Fritz Pregl! As they say in Slovenia, to; England football hopeful, Scott Carson (22), annoying, mousey TV presenter, Fearne Cotton (26) and Carlos Irwin Estevez (better known as Charlie Sheen) (42).
