Show HERALD DAILY C6 Saturday, May 31. 2008 GOLF ROUNDUP Goggiii, Perry reach the top different ways THE 7 ASSOCIATED PRESS Someone asked him if he had a chance to win. "Did you see I was 10 back?" he replied. "I don't know if you saw that. I need some rough weather so the scores don't go too low, and they've got to play a great round." At least he has a chance. Ernie Els waffled on his decision to come to Ohio, flying over at the last minute and leaving just as quickly. He shot a 43 on the front nine, made eight pars and a birdie on the back and shot 78 to miss the cut by one shot. The cut was 150, the highest at the Memorial since 1989, the year 40 mph gusts were accompanied by temperatures in the 50s. It was pleasantly warm Friday, and the gusts were only about 20 mph, but that was more than enough to punish anyone slightly off The first DUBLIN, Ohio sign of hope at the Memorial came from the scoreboard, which showed Mathew Goggin coming back to the pack after a blazing start. The second sign came from a gray sky that promised relief from a brutal test of golf. Goggin birdied four of the first five holes before strapping in for a wild ride of birdies and bogeys that ultimately 72 that added up to an even-pa- r tied him for the lead with two-tim- e champion Kenny Perry, who recovered from a rugged start for a 71. 137, They were at one shot clear of Jerry Kelly. All those scores seemed so much lower on a Muirfield Village course that felt like a marough jor with its ankle-dee- p that swallowed up errant shots and greens as slick as glass. Only three players broke 70 on Friday, with Johnson Wagner turning in a remarkable 67. Twenty players couldn't break 80. The U.S. Open starts in two weeks in San Diego, but Joe Ogilvie came up with an environmentally friendly plan. He suggested the second major be contested at Muirfield, so ers wouldn't have to travel as far in their private jets. "You'd save millions of pounds of carbon dioxide in the air, and golf would be a green sport again," Ogilvie said after a 75. "All they have to do is change out the pins, replace the rakes and take away press parking." leader Goggin is the for the first time on the PGA Tour, and part of him wishes he had it alone. He was bogey-fre- e through seven holes, but vj - ..J v- - ! JAY Press IAPRETE Associated Perry sure didn't look like he had just played a round of golf on a beautiful course. "I'm tired," he said. "I'm mentally tired right now. That was a very stressful round to try to hang in there and keep it together. I hope that Saturday and Sunday, the weather will cooperate a little bit and not be as dicey out there." Help might be on the way, with rain in the forecast. Tee times were pushed back for the third round because course officials expect to need extra time in the morning to get the course ready. Phil Mickelson chopped his way to a 75 and was 10 shots behind. He was 35 feet behind the hole in two on the par-- 5 11th and rarely felt so hopeless with a wedge in his hand, given how badly his ball was buried. He hacked through the he said. grass and watched his ball roll A birdie on the par-- 3 eighth through the green into more allowed him to salvage a 71 rough, making him work for and a share of the lead.

After that, I'm just trying to will my way back to the top." It's not easy to do that at the predraft camp, where players are assigned to teams and play three scrimmages under the watchful eyes of virtually every executive and scout in the league. Out of last year's predraft crop, only 20 players were drafted, with only three of those making their way into the first round. Most of the 20 were veritaIn the NBA this ble season.

"It's like starting all over at the predraft camp," said Mike Taylor, who starred for Iowa State before being dismissed from the program and taking his game to the NBA Development League this past season. Taylor could be the first player from the to get drafted. He scored 27 points in the league's championship game, helping the Idaho Stampede win the title. Having some experience at the pro level gives Taylor a k'g up in this camp, where just about everyone else is a collegian.

Sergio Garcia, coming off his victory in The Players Championship, was going along nicely until he chunked a shot out of the rough and into the water on the 14th missed a putt and took double bogey. That was the start of him playing the final five holes in 5 over for a 77, leaving him a dozen shots behind. Goggin took only nine putts on his final nine holes Thursday, and he kept right on going.

There was plenty of muttering about the thick rough, which might be as deep as it gets all year, and the slick greens, which might be as fast as players see all year. But those atop the leaderboard figured out a way to score. "It tests your short game, tests your mental game," Justin Rose said after a 73 left him four behind.

Goggin paired the hole. then made only two pars the rest of the way. Three straight bogeys preceded a birdie, and he followed that with a double bogey into the water at No. 12, then two more birdies. "I had seven birdies today, so that was the same," Goggin said, alluding to his 65 in the opening round. "The five bogeys and a double, well, that was probably a negative." Perry knows all about the latter. He faced the brunt of the wind, and it showed when he bogey ed three of his first five holes, slipping down the leaderboard with so many others.

But now he's the father of a girl. He's changed his cell phone number countless times, trying to keep the bad Influences from his past out of his life. And he already feels he's overcome some things far tougher than trying to make the NBA. "It's a personal thing for me right now," Brumbaugh said. "I'm about business, man. I've learned from my mistakes. I've paid my dues. I'm ready to just play basketball and get back to being a basketball player. And I'm in it for the long haul. I've been playing basketball since I was 7 years old. I come from a fleet of athletes in my family. And we aren't quitters." t I i |
