PGA Tour - Round 3 Bob Hope Classic

Probably one of the more boring rounds of the PGA Tour calandar, with the rich and famous mixing it with the pro's (for around $15K). Given the European tour is Qatar and some serious appearance fees are paid, the quality of the field drops significantly for this event. The top ranked player was Stricker, who was ahead for a lot of the tournament before throwing it away with a 7 and an 8 on par 4's on the run home. Choke! Pat Perez, pictured here, was good enough to hold on and win the 5 day tournament. Yawn. The best of the Aussies was John Senden who was 7 strokes of the pace at 26 under par. The courses for this round are too easy for the pros which makes for an all round average spectacle. The highlights are probably spotting the celebraties, with the likes of Alice Cooper and Petermen from Seinfeld strutting their stuff. About as graceful as his music.
