In Vegas, this week's Emiliano Grillo will be...

One tournament, one new winner on the PGA Tour. Welcome to the fall portion of the wraparound season, folks! Last week it was Emiliano Grillo's turn to shine as the 23-year-old rookie from Argentina picked up his first PGA Tour title at the Frys.com Open. Who will it be this week? Perhaps, I should just pick another player from our 9 Sleepers To Watch season preview. And perhaps, this time, I should actually plug that player into my fantasy lineup. So without further ado, here's who I'm taking on my PGA Tour Fantasy Golf squad for this week's Shriners Hospitals For Children Open:

Patrick Rodgers: I labeled him as my "Brooks Koepka Breakout" nominee before the season started and he began his campaign with a solid T-6 in Napa. He's my pick to be this week's 23-year-old winner.

Brooks Koepka: While we're on the subject of Brooks Koepka, let's get Brooks Koepka into the lineup also. A T-4 in this event last year helped jumpstart a fantastic season. He's only coming off a T-41 at Silverado, but I like that he's not coming in here rusty. Speaking of not being rusty. . .

The Grind: Rich Beem turns on American golf and Paige Spiranac sizzles in dresses

Emiliano Grillo: What a run this guy is on. His last two starts produced his first win on both the Web.com and PGA Tours. The only thing we can knock about Grillo right now is a tendency to miss short putts. Well, and that time he drove into the group in front and nearly killed Rory McIlroy. Assuming he gets better in both those categories with fewer nerves this week -- and the bright lights of Vegas don't reel him in too much -- he's going to be really tough to beat.

Tony Finau: For a second consecutive week, we'll go with Finau. The big hitter was only able to produce a T-32 last week, but we're expecting better at an event where he picked up his first PGA Tour top 10 (T-7) last year.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
