'If you want my shirt Mr Singh sir, you're gonna have to fight me for it...'

Mark Brooks: knows a good job when he's got one...

What this tells us: firstly, we've got to stop making the assumption that Tiger's ripped physique means he's yards better than the rest with the big stick (he's actually ranked tied 38th alongside Robert Allenby and Lucas Glover with an almost girly 289 yards). Secondly, a gigantic salute to Freddie Couples, who keeps booming them off the tee box even with a bad back. We get the feeling you won't be asking the question 'Dustin who?' for too long, after decent finishes in his first handful of tour events. And finally, check out Lee Westwood's 989 place leap up the charts. Bragging rights of the week to the newly-slimline son of Worksop!

It's credit to Tiger Woods alone that the Tavistock Cup has now become an international sporting event, rather than a friendly knock between neighbours.

For the uninitiated, one team of world famous golfers from the exclusive Isleworth estate take on the members of the equally exclusive Lake Nona Golf & Country Club every year, in what they call a 'Ryder Cup format' (secretly hoping that people will be stupid enough to associate the two events).

Tiger Woods has won the individual title for the past three years, in which time The Tavistock Cup has become a global TV extravaganza of sorts, which is why an understandably grumpy Tiger concluded his post-round interview at Doral sharply, to catch his tee-time in Orlando, joining Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Henrik Stenson, Chris DiMarco, and Trevor Immelman, among others. Annika Sorenstam and Paula Creamer will go to battle in the singles on Day Two.
For the record, Tiger's Isleworth team took a 7-3 lead after Day One. By the way, if anyone fancies a global TV rights deal for a match between Brighton's Arundel Mews and the Sussex Innovation Centre in Falmer (featuring a guest appearance by the bloke who played Warren in This Life), feel free to get in touch...
