Welcome to the Monday Scramble, where we would like to pass on good wishes to Annika Sorenstam and Mike McGee on the news that they are expecting their first child.
As usual, some baby-name suggestions, free of charge:
Girls names: ANNIKA II, Annotherka, Sam Annika.
Boys names: Cutter, Buck, Charlie Annika.
Three possible outcomes of last weekend's Transitions Championship running into a Thesaurus:
Changes Championship
Metamorphoses Championship
Evolutions Championship
Life lessons from around the world ...
Chapchai Nirat of Thailand made birdie on the final hole of the Asian Tour's SAIL Open this weekend to finish the tournament at 32 under par, believed to be the lowest 72-hole score with relation to par on any tour in the world.
Of course, Nirat -- who shot 62-62-65-67 and won by 11 shots -- afterwards had the nerve to say this: "I was a bit disappointed that I didn't putt that well in the final round, but winning the title is a happy occasion."
Life lesson: Every cloud has a silver lining.
Scotland's Callum Macaulay birdied eight of his final nine holes to lose the European Tour's Madeira Islands Open this weekend by a shot to Argentina's Estanislao Goya.
Life lesson: Play better.
Random question
Who shows more excitment? Retief Goosen after winning a PGA Tour event -- or an ant after being stepped on by Retief Goosen?
Random thought
If Hank Haney can fix Charles Barkley's golf swing, we here at the Scramble will only muster further hatred for people who don't fix their ball marks.
Buzz in the blogosphere
The biggest news this week probably had to do with a 62-year-old Norwegian woman who aced the first hole she ever played:
Here are key highlights from the story first reported by the St. Petersburg Times.
The who: Unni Haskell — curiously, featuring the same surname of famous TV fibber Eddie Haskell of "Leave it to Beaver."
The how: Haskell hit driver on the 100-yard par-3; the ball landed about 25 yards from the pin and rolled and bounced its way into the cup. (We hear it was pretty similar to Tiger Woods' birdie putt on the 72nd hole of last year's U.S. Open.)
The photo, of Haskell holding her lucky ball, which actually looks to be a range ball. (That is one way to earn your stripes.)
