The talk this week about the PGA Championship is not very normal. Usually, the talk would be mainly about who everyone is expecting to win, and who will shine in the tournament. This week though, the talk is all about the first 2 rounds of golf regarding Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson being grouped together! Two rivals that also happen to be the best in the game will make for a very good pairing. After the first day, both men shot 69, and are 3 strokes behind the leader. It seems that they Phil and Tiger have been feeding off of each other, and are trying to play the best golf that they can! Even better, it is the first time I have ever seen the starting day of a tournament look as if it was the final two players on a Sunday walking down the 18th hole being tied...it is that tense! The PGA Championship is being held at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois. Being close to Chicago, I would expect the tournament to draw in a lot of spectators. The country club has 3 18-hole courses in it, but it is best know for Course #3. Tiger Woods won the last event here (The PGA Championship in 1999), so I am sure he would like to repeat himself at this course! This should be a great weekend for golf, so keep a close eye on the leaderboard!
