And Dustin Johnson's caddie makes headlines again. I can't believe he hasn't fired this tool yet.

How can you mess up a tee time when they TEXT it to you? Just look at your phone the day before, or the morning of, or something.

I am guessing DJ will be double-checking the tee sheet for the rest of his career. Unless he wins of course.

Johnson needs to fire himself along with his caddie. Two tools that deserve each other.

``I don't look at my time,'' Johnson said. ``I leave that up to Bobby.'' Dumbass.

Totally agree.

Another tool is Jim Gray. This idiot barges in on the 13th hole to find out why DJ missed his tee time. I guess Brown (DJ's caddie) and Gray get into a shouting match at which point TGC removes him from coverage for the day.

There's a surprise. The headline, "Jim Gray causes controversy" is about as predictable as "Sun Rises in East, news at 11".

It is a sorry state of affairs that this coverage is what passes for golf news now that every article isn't gushing about Tiger.

Amen.... I don't disagree that they are both responsible, but blaming it on the caddie is a cop out. That's twice now in a just a few months that he has been penalized for not taking note of key information. Really foolish. The good news for him (if you can call it that) is that he missed the cut by 3 strokes.

I watched a bit yesterday. Haven't rooted for a train wreck so bad in a long time. Nothing against Baddeley, I just wanted Fred or Vijay to win.

I had a funny feeling all along that Freddie just wasn't going to make it. I thought that the Vijay looked more likely. Then all of a sudden 2001 winner, Robert Allenby came out of the blue In the final round. Having said all of that, Aaron Baddeley played very tidy golf. Four rounds in the 60. Hard to beat on that course.
