...AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES: DAY 2 AT PEBBLE BEACH

By Doug McAllister

The tale of the top two. Tiger and Phil. Both slopped it up about as badly as could have been done, yesterday at the 2010 U.S. Open. Not a birdie between the two of them +3 and +4 respectively. Botched chances on a beautiful golf day.

Enter the dynamic duo, Day 2. What would be the tally 24 hours later?

Not long in finding out. Tiger finally chipped in to achieve his first birdie of the tourney. But then it was a roller coaster rid—up and down—birdie after bogey after birdie. The result? An improved round of only one over for a +4 total.

Phortunately Phil wouldn't phollow! Phil's phront nine phlew by with birdie after birdie. Phlawless! Except phor an unphortunate phlop at nine. Still, a round of 31. Phil's phinest in any of his U.S. Open nines! And he was quick in getting back his lost stroke, taking him back to Phive under...a score that he maintained to the phinish! I Phil phor real? Count on it. He's talked of philling out a career slam and a win at this year's U.S. Open would would be a phine step in the right direction!

Of course there are others who might have something to say about that. Graeme McDowell and Ernie Els played wonderfully today as well.

So it's on to the weekend. Enough of this nonsense. But, hey, aren't you surprised that I actually wrote two days in a row. Tune in tomorrow. I might even wax poetical with a U.S. Open limerick. Now, that's not something you encounter everyday. Certainly not something to be missed!

And don't forget, as always to bash them lengthily and accurately!
