As Tiger lined up the 6-foot putt on 18 to earn a spot in the playoff, I was running into my house. I had been receiving 30-minute updates on my Blackberry from my good buddy John in Toronto.

Ten way tie.
Jonathon Kaye - 4 birdies in a row.
Some no name takes the lead.
A couple of personal insults. Standard fare!

Bad time to be trapped in “Big Momma Part 2.” By the way — take a big pass on that!

Why was I running? He thrives on this stuff. Dead center! The rest (playoff) is so anticlimactic.

Not since Jack Nicklaus entered his fourties have I rooted for the favorite. Way to go Tiger.

Congratulations to Phoenix’s own Jonathan Kaye who had a great last round (-4) and finished one shot off the lead. I recently had the privilege of playing a few holes with him at Silverleaf, his home course. He was just killing it. I have no frame of reference since I never get to play with pros, but he seemed friendly, relaxed and confident. He hit a drive off his knees, well past mine. Again, as a frame of reference, I am told I have a swing like Jim Furyk, with the distance of his wife — hence the tag “Jan” Furyk.

He has got to be an early favorite at the Phoenix open with Phil Mickelson, where both have won.

Get out and play…
