The Masters Super 6 Fantasy Golf Picks

We're so excited about the Masters we have the Super 6 Fantasy Golf matchups already for you.

Here we go: Numbers in brackets represent the players Super 6 Matchup Record prior to the Shell Houston Open. To see their matchup records remember to visit the newly updated player profiles . Noticeable is Jim Furyk's (1-5) poor performance especially against lower ranked players, Sergio Garcia's 0-6 winless record and Vijay Singhs 7-1 record, perhaps more impressive than Tigers 5-0.

Match 1: Tiger Woods (5-0) Vs Ernie Els (4-1). Ernie is 4-1 but looking at his matchups he's had it easy and the 4-1 is rather flattering. Angelina's pick is not surprisingly Tiger.

Match 2: Phil Mickelson (3-3) Vs Jim Furyk (1-5). Jim has been surprisingly inconsistent this year and you'd be a brave better to go against Phil.

Match 3: Rory Sabbatini (1-4) Vs Ian Poulter (1-3) Tigers best mates go head to head in another match. Rory is a big game player and should take this match.

Match 4: Adam Scott (3-0) Vs Vijay Singh (7-1) Adam Scott is overcoming a virus and with Vijay's impressive matchup record so far and previous masters win you have to pick him.

Match 5: KJ Choi (3-3) Vs Zach Johnson (2-2) The Tank will take down last years champion who has been rather inconsistent this year

Match 6: Justin Rose (2-2) Vs Sergio Garcia (0-6) With a 0-6 record you'd be a fool to bet on Sergio.

Bets will open Monday of tournament so sign up now and go watch some golf videos while you're waiting.

Honda Classic Fantasy Golf Picks - Final Results

Final Round Update, these are the final results for the Super 6 matchups for this weeks Honda Classic.

Matchup 1: Adam Scott Vs Geoff Ogilvy. GEOFF OGILVY WINS, finishes T2
Adam Scott WD's due to sickness. Ogilvy is currently 5th heading into Sunday.
This one will go down to the wire. This'll be a humdinger and a hard one to pick with last years winner Scott up against the CA Championship winner and Tiger beater Ogilvy.

Matchup 2: Phil Mickelson Vs Aaron Baddeley. AARON BADDELEY finishes T14, Mickelson T23
Baddely will just make the cut and needs a good weekend to go after Phil.
UPDATE: The Big Pussy Ernie has decided to pull out citing injury after also doing a runner at Doral. He is replaced by Aaron Baddeley. We're picking Phil as Ernie is all over the show this year and can he really believe he can be world number 1 after all the beatings Tiger has given him over the years.

Matchup 3: Asians KJ Choi and Anthony Kim KJ CHOI WINS - T11
Anthony Kim misses the cut again and barring DQ or WD, KJ Choi will win.
go at it. We're going for Choi as Kim is just too inconsistent this year.

Matchup 4: Charles Howell Vs Hunter Mahan. CHARLES HOWELL III wins T47
Hunter Mahan misses the cut
Tough one but Howell is sexier so The Slice Girls would kill me if I picked Hunter.

Matchup 5: John Daly Vs Angel Cabrera. CABRERA WINS even though he misses the cut.
JD withdraws yet gain and continues his pitiful year.
Both not playing well this year, toss a coin.

Matchup 6: Couples Vs Leonard. COUPLES T4, Leonard T39
This ones still alive. Justin is top 10 Fedex Cup so you must pick him as Freddy's back can't hold up 4 rounds.

UPDATE: Results after round 2 to date. All matchups are over with at least one player in matchup missing the cut.

To see player profiles, Click here

Match 1: COMPLETE - BUBBA WATSON WINS - Daly another cut and Watson is currently T32. Big hitters John Daly and Bubba Watson go head to head in match 1. Bubba had a good result at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and he's our pick.

Match 2: COMPLETE - MIKE WEIR WINS. Both players miss the cut and Furyk continues his rather up and down year by shooting 75-74 to Mike Weirs 71-75. Weir wins by 3 shots. Jim Furyk Vs Mike Weir. Can't go past Jimmy, Weir is not consistent

Match 3:COMPLETE - STEVE STRICKER WINS. Another bit of a surprise as Stewart Cink is DQ'd. T63 and wins regardless of his weekend performance. Two in form players Stewart Cink and Steve Stricker go at it, we're going for Stricker.

Match 4: COMPLETE - DAVID DUVAL WINS. Double D gets lucky as he shoots77-79 to miss the cut but David Toms WD's citing "I'm too boring". Good on ya David, this is his first Fantasy Golf win this year although he's still yet to make the cut. Two of the most boring players in golf - David Duval ad David Toms, both not in form and Duval hasnt been close to producing his former magic. This is a tough one but we're going for Toms.

Match 5: WOODY AUSTIN WINS as Jesper misses the cut n the number. Two of the tours characters, or clowns, depending on how you look at things, Woody Austin and Jesper Parnevik. Jesper is not in form and we're hoping for a good performance form Woody.

Match 6: RETIEF GOOSEN WINS as Anthony Kim misses the cut. Anothony Kim goes up against Retief Goosen, who may have produced some form after a poor start in his first few events. This is another 50/50 match with both players rather inconsistent this year. We're taking Retief.

Game 2 Super 6 Fantasy Golf Round Up

Only one tournament to go in Game 2 of Super 6 Fantasy Golf - the WGC CA Championship. It's mathematically possible for almost the top 40 players to win, but realistically the top 10 players have a great chance of winning and it's still wide open with the last event. Some cat named DangerMouse9 is atop the leaderboard,and that could be dangerous for other players, but he/she is only one bet ahead and with a bunch of upsets last week, it's still anybodys game. Game 1 winner kingcobra is down the leaderboard at 24th position but he could still win if he picks unlikely winners and hopes there are 6 upsets. Game 2 winner will win a bunch of golf gear including a golf shirt from basicgolfco.com, 2 golf shirts from froghair golf in the UK, a couple of T-Shirts from Dirty Shirty in the US, a golf DVD from golf rascal, a belt from Williams Golf Wear, two dozen golf balls from Globalgolf.com, a couple of caps, t-shirt and golf balls from the boys over at BogeyPro.com and a chance at winning a Bob Burns driver.

Stay tuned for the winners announcement, if you'd like to know some winning strategies from past winner kingcobra, check out the Super 6 Fantasy Golf forum.

Good luck for the next Game - Game 3 beginning next week.

Tiger Adds Another One

Tiger Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational by making a 25 foot birdie putt on the last and avoid a playoff with Bart Bryant. His winning streak is now 5 and the likelihood of a perfect season and the grand slam is looking not so ridiculous. It seems whenever Tiger is pushed he produces his best results in must-make situations. His 4 under 66 was the lowest of the leaders and as usual he saved his best for last, stalking his 25 foot putt as if it were a Slice Girl. No surprises when it rolled into the hole and produced another memorable Tiger moment that left us speechless.

Tigers next event is the Masters and to all of you who are a little sick of Tiger, get used to it and remind yourself that we are witnessing something very very special in the world of sports.

Couples Says Big JD Better Shape Up

Mark Canizzaro, NY Post

March 14, 2008 -- ORLANDO - Fred Couples, a friend of John Daly's, yesterday said he hopes Daly listens to the criticism coming his way stemming from his most recent incidents, which include disqualification from this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill after missing his pro-am tee time Wednesday.

"One of two things is going to happen," Couples said. "He's either going to look at what everyone is saying about him and say, 'Maybe they're all right,' or he's going to keep doing what he's been doing.

"I'm not bashing John Daly," Couples said. "I think he's got more talent than 85 percent of the players on tour; he just needs to find someone to get it out of him. I look at him as a golfer and he should be doing better than he's doing."

Couples said when he looks at Daly hitting his booming shots on the practice range "he looks like Jack Nicklaus." But, Couples said, when Daly gets onto the golf course "he doesn't look like he did a few years ago; his body doesn't look the same.

"When he gets onto the course, something's missing when he's playing," Couples said. "If he was to come here to Bay Hill and play well, it would be a huge deal. If he had shot 65 instead of me [yesterday], it'd be a lot bigger deal."

Couples, who works with swing coach Butch Harmon, said he knew a few weeks ago that Harmon was losing patience with Daly because of his lack of commitment. Harmon, who dumped Daly this week amid some piercing comments, said he was going to give Daly one last chance.

Harmon decided he'd had enough after Daly had Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden caddie for him in the first round of last week's PODS Championship and then after Daly missed the cut and partied at a Hooters tent on the grounds on Saturday.

"Hey, I like people, too, but I'm not going to have a guy [Gruden] who's never carried my bag doing it at a PGA Tour event," Couples said. "I'm not bashing Jon Gruden, but he doesn't know yardages. I don't think that's exactly what you need to be doing at a PGA Tour event."

Good call Freddy, come on JD, get your act together.

Our Favourite Feherty Gets Drilled by a Truck

By Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Golf analyst David Feherty broke three ribs and punctured his lung when he was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle near his home in Dallas. He expects to be fully recovered in time for the Masters.

Feherty said Friday he was returning from his morning bicycle ride a day earlier when a truck hauling irrigation equipment pinched him into the curb and he was struck by the side mirror.

“He didn’t want to hit the car on the left, so he ran over the cyclist on the right,” Feherty said. “I don’t remember a whole lot about it. There was a lady on the scene quickly, keeping me conscious. The next thing I know, I’m at Baylor Medical Center, the only hospital in the United States that doesn’t have the GOLF CHANNEL.”

He then asked who was leading the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Feherty is regarded as golf’s most comical TV analyst, a former European tour winner and Ryder Cup player from Northern Ireland who has been working for CBS Sports since 1997.

He has taken up cycling recently, and said last year after riding along 17 Mile Drive at Pebble Beach, “It’s actually 28 miles.” He has been injured a few dozen times riding his bike, but he described those accidents as “pilot error.”

“That’s when you hit the ground and slow down. This was flying through the air and speeding up,” he said. “It was entirely different, and not near as much fun. I was lucky I didn’t go underneath the trailer.”

Feherty said he would be hospitalized for at least a few more days, and that he had a tube sticking out of his chest.

“But it’s not as bad as it sounds,” he said.

Get better David, The Slice Girls are distraught.

Els Snubs Arnie Citing Tiredness

The Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard got the official word Monday from the PGA TOUR that World No. 3 Ernie Els will not play in their tournament this week at Bay Hill.

Scott Wellington, the tournament director of the Orlando-based event, said he first learned Els might not play over the weekend when he received a heads-up E-mail from the London agency that represents Els.

Els, who won for the first time on U.S. soil in almost four years two weeks ago at the Honda Classic, cited “fatigue” for his withdrawal. Palmer’s tournament would have been the fourth in four weeks for Els.

“We’re obviously disappointed not to have the No. 3 ranked player in the world,” Wellington said. “But we still have a great field.”

That field includes World Nos. 1 and 2, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, respectively. Woods won this event four straight years from 2000-2003. But he has failed to crack the top 10 at Bay Hill since then. Els and Mickelson are also both former Bay Hill winners.

The final field for the tournament that begins Thursday will be set at 120 players. And, Wellington said, the alternate replacing Els will be Cliff Kresge, who lives in nearby Apopka, Fl.

Isenhour Gets a Birdie - LIterally

t’s perhaps evidence that I am guilty of being initially insensitive, but let me confess that when the story involving Tripp Isenhour and the migratory bird surfaced, there were two thoughts that came to mind.

One, if ever there was irrefutable proof that we long ago reached the saturation point on golf instruction, it is the knowledge that even Tripp Isenhour is involved. Oh, yeah, when I think golf instruction, I think Claude Harmon, Harvey Penick, Henry Picard, Tommy Armour, Jack Grout, and Tripp Isenhour.

Two, if ever there was irrefutable proof that maybe I should spend a little less time with my head immersed in the world of golf, it is the fact that while I’m not sure who the secretary of state is, I do know Tripp Isenhour is a former winner of the Trinidad Open.

Those thoughts, however, were quickly accompanied by the understanding that something terribly unfortunate happened during that Dec. 12 filming of an instructional video at the Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Fla. A bird that is on the federally protected list, the red-shouldered hawk, was killed after being struck by one of the more than dozen golf balls Isenhour fired at it as it sat in a tree and did what it is known for: Making a lot of noise.

“I can’t deny that the accident did happen,” Isenhour said during an interview on the Golf Channel. He said he was simply trying to hit the tree and make the bird “fly away” and that he was “very upset” when he realized that one of his shots killed the bird.

Isenhour has been charged with cruelty to an animal and killing a migratory bird — misdemeanors that carry maximum penalties of jail time and or a fine — but there are others who think that more needs to be done. Animal rights groups want PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem to come down hard on Isenhour and the Orlando Sentinel editorialized that a year’s suspension from competition is warranted. Since Isenhour earned $471,980 while finishing 152nd on the PGA Tour money list in 2007, one could make the argument that that would amount to a half-million dollar fine. It seems excessive, but there are no worries here if it puts Finchem on the hot seat, because that’s why they pay him the big, big bucks, to handle sensitive situations that cross his desk.

(Frankly, the fiasco that continues to be John Daly is a far more compelling one for the PGA Tour and you can’t tell me that Finchem doesn’t get heartburn over that one. On the one hand, he wishes Daly would go away. On the other hand, it’s the heart and soul of his empire, the sponsors, who trip over themselves to keep Daly from going away. As dilemmas go, it doesn’t come any stickier.)

Regarding the misdemeanors, Isenhour will get a chance to tell his side of the story to court officials and we’ll let that play out, too. (The thought does occur, however, that if the 39-year-old is truly as accurate as some would suggest he is, why in 2007 did Isenhour hit just 60.57 percent of his greens in regulation to rank 184th and average a mere 3.02 birdies per round to sit 177th?)

With this story still having shelf life, part of me just can’t get away from one angle that continues to amaze. That is, the endless stream of infomercials, books, videos, and gadgets which promise to make you a better golfer. I’m not sure any of them have made improvements upon “Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf,” that came out more than 50 years ago, but needless to say, the flow of money being poured into whatever quick fix is thrust into public view hasn’t evaporated.

“Practice Like a Pro” is a DVD collection offered for “3 easy payments of $29.98” — plus the infamous shipping and handling, of course — and if you Google it, whose face pops up but that of Tripp Isenhour. He’s there with a big grin on his face, so we assume the photo was taken before the red-shouldered hawk fell into his world with a resounding thud. Standing next to Isenhour is Dr. Bob Rotella, who knows a thing or two or three or 20 about books and videos that promise better golf. Isenhour is billed as a “PGA Tour pro,” which begs the question: Does anyone know of any “PGA Tour amateur?”

Reportedly, the Dec. 12 session was to film a video in the “Practice Like a Pro” series and you’d be wise to wager that there won’t be anything about a drill on taking aim at feathered creatures in trees. As to whether or not these videos are “revolutionary” or truly reveal “secrets of the short game,” as the advertisement states, that’s for you to decide.

This is America and thanks to our precious capitalism, Isenhour, for sure, is free to cash in on his status as a professional golfer and pitch products like the “Practice Like a Pro,” just as you are within your rights to purchase the Medicus dual-hinged Driver, the Brush-T, the Heavy Putter, the Swing Glove, or any magazine that announces on its cover that you can cure your slice or hit your drives 20 yards further.

Getting better at golf is a huge industry, but I guess it took the unfortunate death of a migratory bird to make me realize once again just how huge it is. I mean, Tripp Isenhour offering help with golf instruction? I hadn’t heard much of him since he won the Trinidad Open.

Tavistock Cup Features Legends of Golf

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The competition is heating up as team captains Mark O’Meara and Ernie Els prepare to lead their team of fellow Isleworth and Lake Nona members in the 2008 Tavistock Cup presented by Citi Private Bank.

“This invitation-only event for members and residents, sponsors and invited guests, is truly unlike anything in the game of golf,” said Andy Odenbach, vice president of sports ventures for Tavistock Group. “That same uniqueness is found in the charity element of Tavistock Cup, in which $1 million is donated on behalf of the winning team to the charities of their choice.”

Mark O’Meara returns as captain for Team Isleworth and is joined by teammates Robert Allenby, Stuart Appleby, Daniel Chopra, John Cook, Paula Creamer, J.B. Holmes, Charles Howell III, Nick O’Hern, Craig Parry and Tiger Woods. Chopra, Creamer and Holmes are making their Tavistock Cup debuts.

Ernie Els returns as captain of the 11-member Lake Nona team. His teammates include Ben Curtis, Chris DiMarco, Retief Goosen, Trevor Immelman, Graeme McDowell, Mark McNulty, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose, Annika Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson.

The combined members of Isleworth and Lake Nona have won a total of 48 major championships and more than 700 career worldwide victories. Eleven of the top 50 men in the world will be competing along with two of the world’s top five women. Isleworth professional members have already racked up an astounding eight victories in the first two months of 2008.

The fifth annual Tavistock Cup will be televised live in the U.S., Canada and Japan on The Golf Channel and to over 40 countries around the globe through a network of international affiliates. TavistockCup.com will also feature real-time live scoring of the matches.

Daly Butches Relationship with Butch

By Brian Hewitt The Golf Channel

John Daly’s brief tutelage under the respected eye of teacher Butch Harmon appears to be over.

The pair started working together earlier this year in hopes of restoring the form that helped Daly win two major championships in the '90s. But when Harmon became aware of, among other things, recent published reports that Daly’s problems with alcohol abuse had resurfaced, he became frustrated.

“When I started working with John the understanding was that I would help him with his golf game if he helped himself,” Harmon told GOLF CHANNEL Tuesday. “Quite frankly I don’t see any reason for us to continue going down that road.”

There were eyewitness reports out of California that Daly had to be helped from at least one of the parties he attended in January at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Then the Tampa Tribune ran a story in its Sunday editions detailing a Daly appearance Saturday at a nearby Hooters Owls Nest during which Daly reportedly consumed multiple beers and autographed the blue-jeaned derriere of one female fan.

Harmon said he hasn’t spoken to Daly in 10 days. And, he added, “I don’t even want to be associated with him now.”

None of this comes as a great surprise. Harmon said from the beginning that any aid he gave Daly would be of the ‘tough love’ variety.

The 41-year-old Daly has played in seven events in 2008, missing three cuts and withdrawing once. His best finish is a T60 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico last month.

Atwal Gets Away With Street Racing

By Associated Press

ORLANDO -- Pro golfer Arjun Atwal will not be charged in an alleged street race in which the other driver crashed and died, prosecutors determined.

Witnesses have said Atwal and John N. Park were driving at or near 100 mph in a 45 mph zone last year when Park failed to negotiate a turn, sending his Mercedes CLS 55 AMG airborne into a tree. Prosecutors determined Thursday that Atwal wouldn't face criminal charges.

"The two racing vehicles did not come into contact with each other," assistant state attorney Robert Eagan wrote. "There is no evidence that either vehicle was driven in a manner causing the other to brake or evade the other."

Atwal could only be charged with participating in a street race, Eagan said. But he won't even be charged with that, because the State Attorney's office wasn't given a citation on it by the Florida Highway Patrol, prosecutor's spokeswoman Danielle Tavernier said.

FHP investigators recommended Atwal be charged with vehicular homicide.

Atwal and Park, who did not know each other, were driving in March 2007 on a suburban road connecting the Walt Disney World resorts and upscale communities west of Orlando.

Atwal joined the PGA TOUR in 2003 as its first Indian-born player, but lost his card after failing to finish in the top 125. He won the Malaysian Open on Sunday and finished second on the Nationwide Tour's Panama Movistar Championship in January.

Daly Hooters and Beer

By ANWAR S. RICHARDSON, The Tampa Tribune

Published: March 9, 2008

PALM HARBOR - Fans paid homage to golfer John Daly at the Hooters Owl's Nest on Saturday as if he were a modern-day Buddha with reflective sunglasses.

Daly sat on a barstool behind a table at the 17th hole of this week's PODS Championship at Innisbrook Resort. They bought orange Hooters visors for him to bless with his signature. The aroma of Daly's Marlboro cigarettes replaced the incense candles that could have appropriately been placed around him.

He was only four beers into the afternoon when Daly, who failed to make the cut, was approached at his table of wings, beer and cigarettes by St. Petersburg's Chase Saidla.

"Can I buy you a beer?" Saidla said.

"I got one, brother," Daly responded.

"Wanna drink one together?" Saidla proposed.

"Sure. Why not?" Daly replied.

Daly and Saidla proceeded to chug their beers in a way that would have made most frat boys proud.

"You want a refill?" Saidla inquired.

"I got plenty over here," Daly answered.

"Right on, dude. Stay strong, man," said Saidla, who then shouted while walking away: "I just drank with John Daly."

For a second consecutive year, the Hooters Owl's Nest has been a popular destination for fans of beer and wings who occasionally watch the golf tournament surrounding them. Packages begin at $69 for spectators who want to enjoy the Owl's Nest benefits, which include close parking, wings, Hooters girls and unlimited beer.

Although the raucous crowd seems peculiar among traditional golf spectators, the Owl's Nest has found a home in its second year.

"It's at a popular spot. People can be right on top of everything and watch all the players. It's a good time," said Bob Passwaters, executive vice president of Provident Advertising & Marketing. "There are marshals up there and they fans are quiet, or when guys are on the green or teeing off, they tend to quiet down.

"It's more of a fun place. It gives that person who is not a serious golfer a good time to watch golf and not have to be real quiet."

Silence is one thing not to expect at the Owl's Nest.

Tournament volunteer Susan Long's job during the tournament is to hold a "Quiet" sign at that hole, but her task is equivalent to a resident assistant trying to enforce curfew on a Saturday night.

"It's more like I'm their mom out there," Long said. "They are pretty well behaved, but what do you expect? They are drinking beer."

Even though the crowd was rowdy, no golfer seemed affected by their inebriated fans.

Golfer Jason Gore's first shot on the par-3 hole sailed into the rough behind a bunker. His second shot barely made it over that bunker and was on the green's edge. Gore was able to save par by making a 20-foot put, resulting in exaggerated applause and screaming.

Whether it was Gore's spectacular shot, or alcohol's magnificent effect, he enjoyed the ovation.

"That was nice," Gore said. "They are great."

Hooters servers Jaclyn Cayavec (North Tampa location) and Kaylie Kushner (Spring Hill location) poured many of the beers Daly's disciples willingly drank. Kushner was asked on several dates this week by men who might not remember their rejection, while Cayavec was content to keep the beer flow going.

"We are pouring and pouring away. We won't stop pouring until about 5:30 p.m.," Cayavec said. "They are either going to go in the tray right now and be picked up, and they will be gone in about 10 seconds. They want more. ... It doesn't stop.

"They are definitely taking advantage of the unlimited beer. That is what we're here for. It's the Hooters Owl's Nest. That's why we're packed."

There was also a crowd there for Daly, who loosened up as the day progressed.

Daly, whose best finish this year was tied for 60th in the Mayakoba Golf Classic, and his associates gave a news photographer who tried to take photos of him the middle finger. One member of Daly's group mooned the photographer, resulting in boyish laughter from his group.

The golfing Buddha also willingly autographed Trinity resident Kim Geiger's jeans, who bent over and offered her backside as his canvas.

"I go, 'Here I am again. I'm your worst nightmare.' He goes, 'Oh no you're not, honey. As a matter of fact, I like it when you walk away,'" Geiger said. "He goes, 'I like your butt. I'm an butt man.' He goes, 'And you have a nice butt.' Yeah baby, he likes my butt."

The Green Blazer

While googling "golf blogs thats the bomb shit" I came across the Green Blazer's blog - http://thegreenblazer.blogspot.com/.

The Green Blazer has caused quite a commotion amongst the Slice Girls, what with his superior knowledge of golf and wisdom of the greatest players to play the game, the Slice Girls have been biting at the tit, I mean bit, to get a glimpse of the Green Blazer. His own words are really only worthy to describe his golf blog, one of just a few blogs that might actually be worth reading:

"The Superhero Columnist of Golf -
Great balls of fire! Whether he's bringing zingers to the golf media world with his raw-blog style, or hitting pin shots barefoot from bunkers made of hot coals, The Green Blazer will always come correct with nothing but that bomb shit. You no longer have to hit the greens to experience golf euphoria"

To get a taste of The Green Blazer, here's a pic from his golfer-celebrity lookalikes which got Condoleezza Slice all worked up:



Take a little look, The Green Blazer is rated money by The Slice Girls.

Els Ends 0-47 Streak on PGA Tour

Ernie Els, who can be seen in our newly updated golf videos section,giving a fan a boner, ended a four year winless streak on the PGA Tour by winning the Honda Classic. Next weeks defending champion made double on the Par 3 15 to give Els his first win on the PGA Tour for a long time and give him some much needed confidence. He goes to 3 in the World Rankings, one behind Mickelson, or Poulter depending on how you feel, and got a nice comment from runner up Luke Donald who said "I think he's one of the best players I've ever played with". Book Weekley, who missed a 3 footer last year to lose the title, shot a final round 80 but made a putt of similar length on the last hole giving him some happiness before heading into the wilderness to shoot some bears. South Korea's YE Yang, most famous for beating Tiger at the 2006 HSBC in China, played the last round in 1 hour and 53 mins and shot a 71 while listening to "We got to get out of this place" on his ipod.

Honda Classic Fantasy Golf Picks and Results

One round to go in the Honda Classic and here's the update on the matches: Only two matches are over, two matches are close and two matches are all but over.

Match 1 Ernie Els Vs Sergio Garcia. Ernie leads El Nino by 5 shots and I'd bet my favourite G-String he'll end up holding that lead after Sunday.

Match 2 Luke Donald Vs Justin Rose. Luuuuuuuuuuke is tied for the lead with Justin 9 shots back so that match is also all but over

Match 3: Justin Leonard Vs Woody Austin. A closer one this one with the man who folds his socks (Leonard) having a 3 shot advantage over Aquaman.

Match 4: Boo Weekley Vs Camilo Villegas. The closest match with Boo leading by a stroke, who knows what will happen in this unlikely matchup of Redneck Vs Spidey

Match 5: Zack Johnson Vs Angel Cabrera: One of two matches that're over with Angel Cabrera missing the cut.

Match 6: David Duval Vs Jesper Parnevik. Duval might as well pack his clubs away as he misses yet another cut and loses to out of form Jesper.

Come back tomorrow for the official results and matchups for the PODS Championship.
