Wow, Brenda calls out Nicole in a head to head match and wipes the golf course with her. Nicole had no problem talking smack about Brenda either: “I’ll always be a better golfer than her.” Not on this particular day and not on this particular hole, you won’t. In fact, I don’t think Nicole hit one decent shot against Brenda. Nicole may be more in denial about her golfing abilities than Brian – if that’s possible. Compare her later quote: “I’ve never been to an elimination and it’s quite stressful.” Boy, her true colors came out at the end of this show. Anyhow on to the rankings:
7. Derek 9.5 points – This guy has duck hooked everything, and, in his head to head match against Brian, he yanks it into the woods yet again. He managed to get out and then hit an unbelievably lucky shot as he chipped in for eagle. I’m not convinced about this guy’s talent. He just got lucky. I’ll bet right now that he doesn’t make it to the final unless he has all kinds of room on the left.
6. Blair 10 points – “She is in total meltdown mode now.” Eugene smoked her in the head to head. Blair just hit one bad shot after another. The overall talent on this Big Break has to be the worst I’ve seen since the show started. To her credit, Blair hit two very nice bunker shots in the elimination round.
5. Eugene 10 points – Eugene is looking stronger and stronger on The Big Break but can he string together a few good shots? May be the sleeper of the show.
4. Brenda 11.5 points – Called out Nicole and closed her out no problem. Brenda is on a roll. Can she ride it out for a few more shows?
3. Brian 13.5 points – This guy has barely survived elimination on a couple occasions but he’s probably the best putter out there. Now if he can stay out of his own way as well as get one in play off the tee, he may be a force to be reckoned with. And we’ve got Brian quotes: “A bit longer putt than I suspected but that’s the nature of a pure shot.” “I hit it pure obviously, just swung a little too hard.”
2. Aaron – 14 points – He had a 30 yard chip to put pressure on Gerina and blew it 12-15 feet past the hole. He did hit some good bunker shots in the elimination round though. I think there’s a huge gap between him and Gerina and she smoked him head to head. He internalizes a lot of emotions and the volcano may explode.
1. Gerina – 16.5 points – She smoked a drive 290 against Aaron and had a 100 yard advantage on him off the tee. She is probably the Kim Welch of this Big Break. Despite Nicole’s claims, this girl is the real deal but you never know what will happen in this format. She has choked badly in the past as well.
At this point, I like Gerina, Eugene and Brenda to be in the final. Stay tuned.

Tiger’s shot on 13 ultimately did him in
Woods pulled off a miraculous shot at 13 which gave him the confidence to try what would have been an even more miraculous shot at 15, a slice 5 iron from 228 yards. The shot on 15 turn out to be ill advised. He did save par but in reality a par on 15 is a bogey especially when you are 3 behind at the time.
2007 Masters: A complete bore
Besides the lousy announcers (Faldo excluded), the 2007 Masters was a complete bore. Sure there was a little intrigue with Tiger trying to fight his troubled swing and come from three behind, but Masters tournament organizers had made the course so tough that the back nine on Sunday (typically the most exciting 9 holes of golf) was devoid of excitement. Where were the slew of birdies and eagles that allowed competitors to make a final 9 charge?
Granted Woods did have a back nine eagle and then completely blew it on 15 going for another, there were no other notable fireworks. Perhaps Masters tournament geniuses will figure it out next year and bring back the opportunity for the most exciting nine holes in golf.
