The Tiger and The Puma

Day 1 of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines is complete. There are a lot of guys close to the lead, Tiger is only 5 off the leader shooting a 3 under 69 yesterday on the North Course. Today, he'll tee off the South Course at 10am alongside AK and Rocco, who he beat in 2008 on this same course in a playoff.  Tiger looks strong, he's losing strokes on the par 5s, but hopefully the Santa Anna winds won't impact his play too much today and he'll gain a few strokes on the leader. I'm still pulling for him to win! Shocker I know.

If you're wondering who the Puma is... you have obviously not seen a golf tournament in the last year. Rickie Fowler is one of the best up and coming golfers. He is young, strong, and very capable of being a dominate presence on the tour- and this isn't buzz like when Sergio Garcia was suppose to be the next hot thing- Rickie can actually do it. He has been pegged as the guy to beat this weekend and is proving that with a 7 under on his first day, one shot off the leader. 

Can't wait to see how these two do today.

And if you're still confused about Puma, here is Rickie Fowler... often seen wearing head-to-toe bright colored Puma gear as his main sponsor.
