Trash Dispatch: Golf- The Honda Classic is under way with the AP reporting a,
3-Way Tie Atop Honda Classic Leaderboard
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Luke Donald made a quadruple bogey earlier this week. Mark Calcavecchia whiffed on a chip Saturday. Bad mistakes? Absolutely. But to win at PGA National, one must overcome blunders, which Donald and Calcavecchia have done with ease.
Donald shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday, Calcavecchia finished with 67, and the two former Honda Classic champions wound up tied with Matt Jones (71) atop the leaderboard at PGA National. All three were at 6 under, one shot better than Brian Davis (73) and Jose Coceres (68), who lost a four-way playoff at PGA National a year ago.
“There’s a lot of danger out there,” Donald said. “There’s some very daunting shots, a lot of scary shots with a lot of water around. So you have to really stand up there and hit good, solid shots.” [story link]

Undoubtedly, tensions are high and little sleep is in store these three heading into tomorrows final round. Nevertheless, Luke Donald, Mark Calcavecchia, and Matt Jones all know that just to play in the PGA at Palm Beach Gardens in Florida is well worth the loss of sleep. Especially, if you win.
