The Players Championship / PGA TOUR / May 7-10, 2009
Brian Gay struggled today.
Even par after three, he hit a 125-yard wedge shot short of a front pin on #4, and it rolled back in the water. His next wedge was from about 40 yards: It was a downhill lie in the rough that hit the railroad ties fronting the green and found the same water. His next pitch failed to backtrack down a very steep slope towards the cup, leaving an extemely difficult putt that could possibly also go in the water. That didn't happen, but he missed his twister of a second putt, and he left the green with a nine and +5.
Brian withdrew after yesterday's round. Mrs. Yoda and I will spend today here, then head back Saturday. Meanwhile, here are a few photos from the event.

Boss,
Four of those shots I can understand BUT how on earth did that good looking Lady get involved with you?
Thanks for sharing your experiences of Tour life with us less fortunates. Or should that be less deserving?
Was it illness and fatigue? ie was he sick and tired!!!
Just wondered what his reason was and whether he gets any grief from the tour for withdrawing

Brian finished a round most would never have begun. I am as proud of his opening TPC round of 80 as I was of his closing Hilton Head round of 64. Let's let it go at that and watch the Leaderboard in the weeks to come.
Thought there may be an underlying reason, happy to let Brian retain the reason.
If you're proud of the 80, then I'm happy too.
