Things Are Heating Up in Tulsa

It seems that Southern Hills and a hot August Texas summer are setting the stage for an interesting scenario at the PGA Championship. Heat index is suppose to be around 110 ...
After Woods won at the WGC - Bridgestone he should be considered a big favorite to win this week but ... Graeme Storm from England set the course on fire today and shot a 65, to be followed by Grip It and Rip It, John Daly, with a 67. Tiger is tied for 23rd place with a 71.
Tomorrow it is suppose to be 102 which can really take a toll on the body during an 18 hole round of golf. Will Daly make it or will the wheels fall off? Will Tiger move his way up the leaderboard? What about Lefty, moving up or still sitting in the starter box? And there is a lengthy list of younger players who are in the fray this week after round one, so we can really just sit back and watch.
I'm putting my money on the one who can handle the heat to take the lead. It will be the player who can maintain his course management, keep mentally alert and manage their energy level who will excel in round two. With the heat index that players will face tomorrow, these will be big factors.
I'll be watching ....
