33 Under?

After seeing Pat Perez raise the scoring bar (and subsequently the trophy) at the Bob Hope. I wonder how long it will be before another 59 is unveiled on the tour.

Season Opener - Who's On Top in 2009


The golf season kicked off in fine fashion this week in Hawaii. The coast to coast leader in the clubhouse is none other than Geoff Ogilvy of Australia. Geoff has one of my favorite swings on tour. If you watch closely, he's got a tiny pause in the motion at the top in which he sets up his turn for the downswing. It's not too different from The Big Easy, Ernie Els who, by the way is gearing up to have a great season. In my opinion the pause is both good and bad because it can cause transition problems and is probably the main reason for inconsistency, but when it's good, either one could run the board like Ogilvy did this week.
A few notables this week in Anthony Kim and Davis Love III. I like the way Anthony Kim swings his club with a short backswing and powerful turn through the ball. This is a very very consistent move, but when Trip has his stuff together, he's one of the best to watch in action.
I know it's pretty early for predictions, but who do you think is going to come away with the cash on the west coast swing?
