Would have, could have etc...

She should have won, would have if a) the race had been another 100 meters or b) if the jockey wasn't a halfwit. Damn.

The Verizon classic isn't really that much of a classic. If Brian Gay does hold on to win (he probably won't) then it'll be a reflection of the field as much as anything. Given that someone has shot 65 every day (and over a dozen did yesterday) you'd think that the tournament will be won with a score around 13 under. Gay's been flawless to here with just one bad hole in the first 54 but with just one tour win in the last five years, I'm not interested in taking the odds on him adding another trophy to the proverbial.

Davis Love is still there and knowing the course backwards could still represent the best value at 20/1. Luke Donald is probably itching a win and on pure form, one of the stars of Augusta looks nicely poised a few behind the leader. Then again, it is Todd Hamilton...
