I'm sure BO is working on a post right now about John Rollins. Would be bad form not to nibble his teat a little bit, he beat the GOAT by a shot today.
And then I expect little nuggets of info about Hoffman, Ryo, Watney, O'hair and Haas as well pretty soon. All guys up there even with GOAT. I'm sure BO wouldn't want to be seen just as a Rose/Rollins fanboi.
To cap it off, I expect to hear an anecdote about Peter Williamson's 83 today, and how BO played with Peter's uncles cousins garage door repairman back in 1974 on the whogivesaratsass tour and BO clipped him by a shot by getting it up and down from a tumbleweed on 18, and when he shook his hand he could tell from the glimmer in that repairman's eye that he knew a guy who one glorious sunny day was going to have a family member have a kid who wouldn't break 80 at Bay Hill.
I mean, all of that is the minimum of what I would expect from a scholar of the game, a non teat sucker if you will, like BO.

Well, he knows a few members of the grounds crew and he spoke at length to them earlier today. They informed him that Justin showed up early this morning, before sunrise, and reviewed tape first of his swings, and then of old footage of Ben Hogan and Sam Snead grilling burgers. The footage was never-before-seen, but it definitely had a certain...I don't know...something special about it. Two legends, not talking golf, just flipping burgers. And Justin beat peen to that reel.
After this, he utilized Bay Hill's old microfische machine to read old news clippings of golfers I won't name hear because, trust me, you haven't heard of them. He then came out of the dark room a new man. A man with a plan. Not like Dan - this plan was special. Justin now deserved to shoot low round of the day. But he didn't stop there - no. He then smiled one of the largest, most genuine smiles ever seen - his teeth even whiter than his face. BOth of which are quality traits to have.
After standing around smiling and reminiscing about This Great Game of Golf that he is honoured (intentional spelling) to play, he pulled a Sharpie given to him by Gene Sarazen's grand-daughter, and began signing autographs and chatting with kids. My word! This man is a gent! This man may be the first that is worthy of winning Mr. Palmer's namesake tournament. How is this Gentelman of Golf not knighted yet? Why sha'n't we address him "Sir"? Sir Justin Rose, god dammit! The man shot low round and books will be written about it. Golf will be remembered in two ways: everything that happened prior to today, and everything that happens hence.
Anyone who cannot appreciate this man and what he has done here today is simply not a fan of golf. Old Dead Tom Morris is somewhere scoffing at all you ***gots for not starting to write a book about Sir Rose's round.
