Bob Hope Classic / PGA TOUR / January 21-35, 2009
Brian Gay today shot a brilliant 65 (-7 / T-13) in today's first round of the Bob Hope Classic hosted by Arnold Palmer. The tournament is being contested over four courses, and there was only one lower score on Bermuda Dunes ( Vaughn Taylor with 63). http://www.pgatour.com/leaderboards/...002/index.html
Brian's round was bogey-free with seven birdies. Coming off two terrific tournaments in Hawaii, he's now goin' low on the mainland. What a great start in this new year!

I'm really interested in seeing what Brian does this year. Particularly in the US Open.

Brian's got to qualify first, Goose. A Top 30 on the 2008 Money List would have earned exempt status, but he finished #31.
I'm reminded of the old Scottish recipe for rabbit stew: First . . .
Catch the rabbit!

On a 'go low' day, Brian Gay today shot 70 (-2) at Bermuda Dunes. He is now -9 for the tournament and T-49.
Long way to go yet . . . Three more days! . . . and plenty of birdies comin'.

Brian Gay today shot 63 (-9) on the Palmer Private course and, after four rounds, moved to -18 for the tournament and T-44. His round included five birdies in a row (holes 2-6) and three in a row to close.
Despite this fantastic scoring, he's well back of the lead (-30). Ne're the less, a good check is in the offing.

Bob Hope Classic / Final Round and Results
Brian Gay today shot 66 (-6) and moved up 26 places (from T-45 to T-19) on the toughest tour in the world. His 65-70-72-63-66=336 was 24-under-par for the five days. He averaged 271.8 off the tee, led the field in driving accuracy (85.29% of fairways hit) and was 25th in GIR (84.44%).
I'll post the money won when the results are up.
Great tournament, Brian. All the best next week at the FBR!
