Andrés Romero: Or as they say in Spanish, "Stick" ...
Andrés! ...: Wait, wait a minute. I thought you were captain of the Briny Brigade.
Ah, Briny Baird is yesterday's man. Andrés Romero is a man for the future!: Well, we've been saying that for a long time now. He was our
Young Gun of the Year award-winner in our 2007 Rusty Awards, you know ...
You always have to point it out everytime you're right, don't you. It's very annoying.: I wouldn't do it so much unless it happened so frequently, and if you weren't so annoying by pointing out every time I'm wrong.
Geoff Ogilvy ring a bell?: I'm going to ring your bell in a minute ...
Easy cowboy. How about that Romero win, though ...?: It's something else. The Argentinian lad's only 26, this was only his 12th PGA Tour start, and he's heading to Augusta with a full head of steam.
Wow. And we've seen what Romero can do with a head of steam ...: That's for sure. He's one of those birdie machines that is really scary when he turns it on, as we saw last year when Romero strafed Carnoustie with 10 birdies on the final round and still turned up short.
But his time he closed it out ...: Indeed he did. He did that in typical Romero fashion as well, with a rain of birdies that overwhelmed the field: 15 birdies in his last 45 holes.
And then he had to sit around for three hours waiting for somebody to try to catch him ...: That was strange. Romero posted his total of 13-under 275 and then kicked back in the clubhouse, playing games on his laptop - as you do when you're 26 - while Aussie veteran Peter Lonard finished up.
Not enough though ...: Nope. Chalk one up for the young guys here. A bogey on the 17th cost the 40-year-old Lonard here against Romero, while in Europe the silver-haired Frenchman Thomas Levet held back 19-year-old Oli Fisher.
And now the ladies have another Latin heart-throb on the PGA Tour to ogle in addition to Camilo Villegas ...: Hey, somebody's got to be better with the ladies than Briny Baird.
But Briny disappeared in the haze of a 74 ...: And thank the Gods of Golf for that ...
See you in Houston!: See you in Houston! Then on to Augusta ...!
