Lightning Safety Advocates Leading Masters

I'm not particularly big on golf coverage but considering one of the biggest sporting events in the world began today, I have some interesting things from Augusta.

Currently, Vijay Singh is atop the leaderboard at five under with one hole to play and Rocco Mediate sits in second after finishing his day at four under.

With bad weather coming, it might only be appropriate for Singh and Mediate to be paired together over the weekend. As you can see from the picture, the two play a major role in helping get the word out that you should avoid being struck by lightning.

By the way, Torii Hunter of the Minnesota Twins is also apart of the same ad campaign.

In other news:

• Tom Lehman was shot at yesterday while driving to the airport to pick up his son. Apparently, the alleged shooter thought he was taking out Phil Mickelson. After realizing what a mistake he had made, the shooter said, “whoops, my bad.”
  

• David Duval, one of maybe six golfers I can name, is not very good anymore. He is in dead last right now after shooting an abysmal twelve over par.
  

• Tiger Woods is currently six strokes behind Singh.
