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.

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.

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.
