Tom Lehman gets shot at, still posts better Masters score than 26 other golfers, including David Duval

How would you like to be one of the 26 golfers who posted a worse score than Tom Lehman in the first round of the Masters?

Lehman gets shot at on tournament’s eve - apparently by some wacko taking random pops at cars on the Bobby Jones Expressway - and still manages to hold it together for a first round 76.

Meanwhile, Charles Howell The Forgotten comes in with an 80. David Duval manages a nifty 84. (Maybe, a reporter asked Duval a question on the way from the parking lot and completely shot his focus. Or maybe he just stinks.)

Lehman’s dodging bullets and he betters you by eight shots? An even better example is the fact Chris DiMarco - who some fools still think is a potential major player - could only match Lehman’s opening 76.

A bullet went through the rear passenger door of the Cadillac Escalade Masters courtesy car Lehman was driving to the airport. If it had happened when he was driving back from the airport instead, his 10-year-old son Thomas would have been in the back seat. Lehman digests all this, goes out and battles Rae’s Creek and still gets that 76.

At least, Lehman must have known instantly that it wasn’t a European who feared the U.S. Ryder Cup Team gunning for him. Because no European fears the U.S. in any Ryder Cup.

But it all seriousness, the guy has a bullet whiz at him and still shows better nerve on the course than 26 other pros.

Nice David Duval coments. Keep writing this meaningless blob.

Nice hairline Chris, you look like a retard in your picture. I love these writers that just ridicule people for things they have no ability to do themselves.

Colin,
Please don’t mock retarded people like Baldwin.
Besides if baldbrain gets depressed and stops writing blogs...where else would we go for comedy?

If you're not familiar with his work, do yourself a favour and read through the archives....You’ll find wonderful journalistic quotes like….

Charles Howell will probably be catching an early flight...

What does Barry Bonds and Baldwin have in common? They just need a little bit of Tea and Sympathy.

Congratulations to David Duvall for an impressive comeback in round 2. After being 7 over after two holes, he shot 4 under for the rest of the round--including 5 birdies and 7 pars over the last 12 holes.

I still think it's time for David Duval to move away from persimmon golf clubs.

Careful about slamming guys battling hard. Credit him for showing up and facing down the enemies and making best effort. Duval talent is immense - 5 under last 12 holes?

I know Tim Clark's going to be tied for the lead once play resumes tomorrow. But, he's got to lose that belly putter of his. It should be banned outright -- the thing is an eyesore. He looks like a penguin putting for fish.
