Wow. Greg Norman leading the British Open by 2 shots at age 53? Can you really ask for a better British Open story? (Well, it would have been nice if David Duval had stayed in contention today.)
Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch the final round as it unfolds, as I'll be driving on day one of a two-day journey to Oregon. I hope that the Shark can hold out and claim his third Claret Jug, a historic victory (the eldest major champion by 5 years), as he was the last dominant golfer before Tiger hit the scene in 1996 (and I became a golfer/golf fan in 2000). Although I am disappointed I won't be able to watch the end of this championship, I'll take solace in the fact that I'll be driving through Pebble Beach (!) and will hopefully get a chance to hit some balls there.
As an aside, this two week trip to the University of Oregon will be a desperately needed respite from my latest addition: Rock Band. It rocks. If you have any doubt, check out these two ridiculous Rock Band drummers.

MAJOR COLLAGE
Tiger won the US Open four weeks ago in a Monday playoff (on one knee). I just finally caught up on the Sunday and Monday broadcasts, and it was fun to see all of the shots that I didn't get to see in person (the vast majority of them). With British Open week upon us, get ready for the first Tiger-less major since in almost 12 years. Here are snapshots from the 14 of 46 majors that Tiger has won (images grabbed off ESPN):
