The Players Championship from TPC Sawgrass (Jax, been there, lived there) day two completed and the leaderboard is…..Martin Kaymer still in the lead at -12. He is followed by the young sensation from Texas, Jordan Spieth at -11. After that…Henley at -8, then J. Rose, Lee Westwood and Jim Furyk at -6. The cut…Even Par. Lefty (Mickelson) just misses, finishing at +1. Rory Mcilroy and Adam Scott survive, both at Even Par! Others…Zach Johnson and Graeme McDowell at -4, Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson at -2 and Bubba (Watson that is!) at -3. So this is how things stand heading into the weekend at The Players. Still wish Tiger was there!
Tennis action from Madrid Open. Maria Sharapova over Li Na in three tough sets, the second set going to a tie break and Maria dropping the first set but sealing the deal with a third set victory. Darn…I was pulling for Li Na. Radwanska looked vulnerable but managed to pull out a three set victory over C. Garcia of France, wow, she played a gutsy match but Aggie is just a human backboard! Serena Williams withdrew due to a thigh injury, giving Kvitova a walkover win…so who wins this now? Sharapova is looking really good, I hate to say, but she looks like the one to beat. Ivanovic fell, still got A. Radwanska in there. She will meet Sharapova in the semifinal! Go Aggie!
On the men’s side…Rafa looks like he is on his way to another clay court title. He won in two sets over T. Berdych, 6-4, 6-2. David Ferrer advanced, as did K. Nishikori over the handsome F. Lopez of Spain in two sets. No Federer, no Djokovic, and no Wawrinka! Murray a disappointment with his loss as well. Have to say Nadal looks like the favorite on the men’s side. Wonder what Fed is going to do as far as Rome next week? May be a bit too soon to return to the tour after the birth of Leo and Lenny, but he does need to get in another clay court event before the French Open. If not in Rome, perhaps one of the smaller events prior?
NFL draft last night…number one pick..Jadeveon Clowney out of South Carolina by the Texans! Come on people..no surprise here. Perhaps a surprise to some…Johnny “Football” Manziel did not go until the 22nd pick…to the Cleveland Browns! Almost seemed like I was watching Draft Day the movie all over again!! Think the Browns got a great draft pick at #22!!
OK, ate dinner at my favorite Mediterranean Restaurant, enjoyed good food and conversation..now time to kick back and watch Unforgettable on CBS! Have a great Friday night! Later…
