Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial / PGA TOUR / May 22-25, 2008
 

Congratulations to Brian Gay on his spectacular 5-under-par 65 in today's second round. Brian's two day total of 134 (-6) puts him T2 for the tournament, just one shot behind leader Phil Mickelson.

Colonial Country Club (Fort Worth, Texas) is a storied venue -- dubbed 'Hogan's Alley' in respect to its 5-time winner -- and has long been known as a 'shotmaker's course'. With a $6.1 million purse and 25,000 FedExCup points at stake, this year's event promises to reward today's shotmakers very well. Especially the winner, who will take home $1,098,000 and 4,500 FedExCup points.

Could be right up 'Gay's Alley'!

Just saw Brian's position over on ESPN.com and thought Hey That's Yoda's Guy!
Phil is my wife's favorite player but I'll be rooting for BG this weekend!
Go Brian!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Tempus Fugit For Sure

Cookin' At Colonial
 

Brian was only two strokes back going into 17, but a tee ball into the hazard and the resulting double bogey dashed his hopes for the lead. He finished with 69 (-7 for the tournament) and T5, five strokes behind leader Phil Mickelson.

Making up five strokes in one round on the #2 player in the world is asking a lot, but there are only four men between Brian and the lead. This is a golf course where anything can happen . . .

And Brian can go low.

:rambo:

It was great to see Brian so close to the top...it was heartbreaking to see the double on 17....but BG is a professional and that hole is history...maybe something learned ....Yoda any idea what Brian hit off the tee on 17... it looked way off to the right and a very hard second shot to the green from where he was. I believe I heard 17 was playing the 2nd hardest on the course. He had a good save on 18 so tommorrow could be very interesting.:)

A Very Good Year
 

Brian Gay had another solid week, finishing T10 with his 69-65-69-72=275. For his efforts, he earned $ 140,300 and 575 FedExCup points.

Brian has played 14 events this year and is now #31 on the 2008 PGA TOUR Money List with $1,232,813. He is #35 on the FedExCup list with 4,690 points.

Sligo33,

What is the origin of your LBG handle?

Do you have an affiliation with Brian's new clothing line endorsement, Sligowear? http://www.sligowear.com/

Or are you from Sligo, Ireland?

Nah, he is just another one of those guys that likes to hang arround here. You know the type: PGA Professional, Authorized Instructor of The Golfing Machine. Some guys just can't get enough of this place, especially those New England transplants that live in New Mexico.

My father's family comes from Mayo & Sligo, and 33 has always been a good #, for me. Did not know about Brian's clothing line or have ever met him.

I do have a great deal of respect for his accomplishments and hardwork. It takes a lot of grit to be a PGA Tour journyman. His determination and hardwork is paying off, as he appears to be moving to the next level PGA Tour star.
