After round 1 of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, a guy named Bubba (Watson) was the leader at 6 under par. Leading a prestigious golf tournament like the Bridgestone is a great achievement, but ol' Bubba had other goals coming in besides winning.
"I'm just trying to make the cut," admitted Bubba while being interviewed by a Golf Channel reporter after his round.
That would seem a realistic goal for a major championship type tournament on a tough course like Firestone. But there's just one problem Bubba. There is no cut at this tournament.
"Well, perfect then. I made it."
Yes Bubba, you made it. And here's another newsflash - you're winning.
For a seven time winner of this tournament, Tiger Woods played as though he had never even played a practice round on the course. A four over first round of 74 left Tiger with not much to smile or joke about. Scowls, spitting, and self-chastisement were common scenes Thursday.
But he did manage to find some humor in the day after a rare birdie at the 17th.
If only Tiger could find more joy and amusement in his rounds, perhaps his play would follow.
