In Songdu, Korea this week covering the Songdo Championship on the US Champions Tour for Golf Channel. Sodden is the right way to describe the week so far, including yesterday where I managed to stay half dry until a monsoonal downpour on the final hole that finished me off properly.
Day 1 was windy and wet, and the scores reflected the difficulty of the conditions, with Fred Funk, Jay Don Blake and Michael Allen shooting 3 under par 69's to lead.
I was on course for the day, and spent it with the group of Tom Watson, Fred Funk and Jay Haas. Great to see Tom Watson playing up close and personal. At 60, he still hits the ball beautifully and with a precision that would still be the envy of many half his age. Not his best day on Friday with a few wayward drives on the back nine but he has nothing left to prove to anyone and appears to be enjoying himself regardless.
Today out with the three leaders from the first round after the seeded draw has taken place. On air from 2pm Korea time.
Hi Grant. I met you on the 15th green this morning. I just wanted to let you know that it is Songdo and not Songdu. No "u" on the end mate.
