I’m going with Phil. Five runner-ups... hopefully he learned something from Winged Foot in 2006.

First it was Charles Barkley. Next he set to help Ray Romano break 80. Now Hank Haney has a new challenge for the 3rd installment of the Haney Project...

The next challenge for Hank, none other than our hero RUSH LIMBAUGH!!! Yes it’s true, Rush was on Live From at 10:00 to make the big announcement!!!

And we found out that his very good friend, Tom Watson was in the same room with Hannity, Levin, Elton and the other guests at the wedding!!!!

Anyone in the clubhouse at even to +3 are dancing a jig right now. I’ll bet a dime the score goes no lower than the -1 it is now by the end of the day....

Tiger is still a great golf player, and as he settles his recent history, he will come back with domination.
