Our reigning Champion continues to sport a 3.6 index which means he gets 4 shots at Arnie's Place. PAZE contemptuously deigns not to play in the months leading up to this year's event, apparently of a mind that the field does not merit even so much as one round prior to the defense of his title. Given the rest of the field, this is not an unfounded belief.
HEIMSCH has gained another half an index point and now rests at 9.3, adding a stroke to his BH handicap, now 11. He is planning to play another 37 rounds prior to the Four Ball however, so it is difficult to predict exactly where he will finish.
As we have previously noted, GORDON uses a handicap system that he alone understands but is necessary to accommodate his unique method of scoring a round of golf. According to his calculations, his index has somehow dropped to 16.5(allowing him 19 shots) even though the last time he played he reports: "I took an 11 on the first hole--two shots into different water hazards and a third on the bank of a still different one. I also hit a sign that stood about 3 ft off the ground and sent me backwards about 50 yds."
BURKE continues to sputter and hack his way towards an increasingly unlikely 9th title and now sports a 10.5 index, good for 12 shots and, more importantly, only 7 short of GORDON.
Time........marches on.
