The first bold moves of the day
John Daly, almost certainly too far back (-3 at the start of the day) to have a chance at winning, opened his Sunday round eagle-birdie and is -6 for the tournament with nine holes to play. Big John has moved up to a tie for 15th. His best finish this year was a tie for 28th. Phil Mickelson and Rich Beem birdied the first hole while Paddy Harrington parred it, and Ernie Els birdied 1 and 2. So the top of the leader board reads 1. Mickelson -14, T2. Harrington and Beem -12; T4. Els, Robert Allenby and Charles Howell III -11. No promises that we'll keep up this sense of urgency all afternoon, but it's kind of exciting to have the leaders on the course, huh?
