Our theme this week is Nick Faldo and our question yesterday was on the first golf course that Nick designed in America. Exactly 50% of the entries we received chose D and then 30% chose A. Well, one of those is the correct answer so be sure to watch today’s show to see if your answer was right.

And last, but not least, congratulations to our winner on yesterday’s show - Kong An of San Francisco who won a free round of golf from GolfNow.com.

Okay, that’s it for today. Have a great day and I’ll see you tomorrow for Big Prize Friday! - Keri

As if there wasn’t enough stress piled on Michelle Wie, now she’s grouped with her chief rival Morgan Pressel in the first-round of the Evian Masters this week. Pressel has publicly asked why Wie gets so many sponsor exemptions, and also criticized Michelle on her decision to skip junior golf and go straight to the pro circuit.

Oh yeah, Wie just accepted another sponsor’s exemption for next month’s Safeway Classic. Ha.

Sen. Fred Thompson wrote a letter to than President Bill Clinton thanking him for a cigar. Here ya go:

The wood reference has to be about his golf clubs right? And I’m sure Mr. Clinton is really sick of cigar and wood stories coming out.

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

Congratulations to our winner from yesterday’s show, who was Ken Jensen of Mesa, Arizona. Ken won a “grab bag” of Nike golf products.

Our theme this week is Nick Faldo and our question yesterday was on how much he made in his first appearance at the British Open. We had a pretty interesting split in the answers with 25% of the entries for A, 50% for B, 18% for C and 7% for D. Be sure to watch today’s show to see if your answer was correct.

Okay, that’s it for today. Have a great day! - Keri

Today’s NY Post offers an interesting little insight into how Padraig Harrington ended up with the Claret Jug sitting on his mantel:

“While he was on the (practice) putting green (Sunday) he said, ‘Every time you see my hand like this it means I’m raising the Claret Jug,’ ” Bob Rotella, Harrington’s sports psychology coach, said holding his hand out like he was carrying a vase. “That’s not something I’ve ever seen him do before. He was so positive all week. He understands his mind, body and game better than anyone I’ve ever worked with.”

After 36 failed atttempts to win a major Harrington deserves this. Stoked for the guy.
