Nissan Open, Day 1

Congratulations to one of my favorite golfers, Padraig Harrington as he shot the lights out at Riviera today, cruising to a three stroke lead over Phil Mickelson, Briny Baird and Pat Perez.

I've entered a "Fantasy Team Challenge" through TeeClub.com, the Ventura County Golfer's Network.

My team consists of (in order):

1. Phil Mickelson
2. Padraig Harrington
3. Adam Scott
4. Charles Howell III
5. Chris DiMarco

We'll see how the rest of the tournament goes, but the weather is supposed to be UNBELIEVABLY perfect, with temperatures in the low to mid 80's tomorrow (while the rest of the nation shivers), and cooling down a bit into the 70's over the weekend.

It's a drag that Tiger and Fred Couples are not participating in this tournament, but it would be AWESOME to see Padraig win it! (I'll be cheering for him to win this weekend!)
