Waugh's shot from the deep rough to tap-in range should come as no surprise to friends. A good athlete who played shortstop at Amherst, he finished par-par-par from the tips of the famed composite course at The Country Club in a charity outing for the Hyde Park YMCA Wednesday. As smooth as that was, Waugh was just as deft when a CNBC reporter nailed him coming off the course at the TPC with a question about taking over Fannie Mae.
Meanwhile, there's Singh, who no longer answers to "Vijay." After missing the cut at the Wyndham Championship, he was working on his game back home in Ponte Vedra Beach, when he ran into Finchem. The Fijian instructed the commissioner that from now on, he should be addressed "World's Greatest Putter."
So that's how it shall be, entering week two of the playoffs. With a win at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Singh comes in as more than a wild card. "The World's Greatest Putter" made the bomb to match Garcia on the first playoff hole at The Barclays, but players are raving about the way he's driving the ball, and this venue has been good to him.
When he beat Tiger in 2004, it was one of nine victories, and raised "The World's Greatest Putter" to No. 1 in the world. "Hopefully I can top that one this year and make another win," he said, happy with the state of his game, but with his game face on.
