Odds and ends from Interlachen
Posted on June 26th, 2008 – 3:21 PMBy Michael Rand
*Michelle Wie described parts of her round as “unlucky.” The lucky part: The pre-made scoreboard here in the media room only has scores ranging from 67 to 79. If you worse than that (Wie and a few others), you don’t make it on the big board (despite the repeated urgings of a certain colleague). At least not yet.
*We saw two women smoking in the parking lot, but we are certain they were not players. So far, no players have been seen smoking, which has severely hampered the feature that was suggested.
*The Asian media throng is strong here, and for good reason: Koreans alone account for 32 golfers in this tournament, including the very impressive Ji Young Oh, who is the leader in the clubhouse at 6-under.
*If you didn’t think lunch could consist of soft shell chicken tacos and potato salad, think again.
*Underrated: Paula Creamer. She’s 2-under early and looking strong.
*Our media pass comes with a list of items one cannot bring on the course. One of those things is, “pets.”

Is anyone still here? If so, why?!? Get on over to Deadspin for the roasts! Omigod between those and the Twins on Gamecast this is the best afternoon in the history of the inter–

I read in today’s NotTC that Creamer is the #4 golfer in the world.
How underrated can she be, in that slot?

At first it looked like thong and I was beginning to think that Joker made a strong impression on which special features to include this week.
When do we start the “Kevin Love” chants?
I’m tellin’ ya. UNDERRATED.
Also: Simmons on Deadspin. The webs are broken.
Somehow, that Simmons post wasn’t even the best thing. #1 is Skeets’ video, #2 is Zook. But whatever, the point is every post has been roughly 1000x funnier than anything I’ve read in a long damn time.
Except those funny posts that you write, Blogger Who Is Reading This. Yours are the balls.
“Underrated: Paula Creamer. She’s 2-under early and looking strong.”
Is strong a new code word for lickable?
After a full day in the heat, outside of the freindly confines of the Metrodome media room, I bet Reusse smells like warm soft shell chicken tacos and potato salad.
Thanks, Brandon.

We call that “Fulda After Shave” in my part of the world, Clarence.
RE: Deadspin roast. I already e-mailed Marth aboot this, but Spencer Hall is a national treasure.
other items listed as things NOT to bring: air-horn; cymbols; distant, backwoods cousins; and of course, guns are also not permitted on the premesis…
I just googled Paula Creamer and it’s not just a clever name.
update: intrepid reporter Kent Youngblood reports that a golfer was, indeed, smoking and that the caddie (caddy?) had to hold both the bag and the smoke while the player played. We need to find this golfer tomorrow.

Look for the “women” without shoes on. I hear John Daly may be playing in drag.
Paula Creamer >>>> Natalie Gulbis
John Daly - Size 42 EEE
How old is Paula Creamer? Should roughkat be showering after those comments?
jama - She’s 21. Roughkat can ogle all he wants…

Yes, you do.
“Paula, my name is _____ ____, and I just want you to know that I think you’re real pretty, but if you don’t celebrate Scott Stapp’s work with Creed and as a solo artist, you’re dead to me. DEAD.”
Stu’s business card reads “Scott Strapp Fan Club: Stearns County Chapter Prez”
