On his back nine at the Buick, Kevin Streelman (-7) is 1 behind Tiger (-8). His bag has a big, bold D on it.

He was an alternate for this tourney and got in in the last few minutes. He is finished his round and is in 2nd and will play with Tiger tomorrow.

That's a pretty good first couple days after barely getting into the tournament. I hope that he manages to withstand the pressure of playing with Tiger and all that it entails (especially in regards to the crowds).

That will be an education all by itself, regardless of how he does. It will be an experience he will never forget, even if he gets to do it on a regular basis (we can all hope he does!)

Kevin is playing in the last twosome with Tiger Woods on a course (Torrey Pines South) that is the site for the 2008 U.S. Open.

Wow! You can't practice this.

Stewart Cink will be joining the #1 player in the world and #1,354 (our man Kevin).

I am an avid golfer and a Phil fan, and am glad to see a Dukie doing well. What an oppurtunity to get to play with Tiger. There is a story we will be telling the grandkids, ya know?

That's right, Tiger will be telling his grandkids about playing with Kevin Streelman before Kevin won any of his 30 majors.

I knew I recognized that name on the Buick Invitational leaderboard. The erstwhile Dukie began the day in second (!), behind (of course) Tiger Woods. A cool story about Streelman's journey thus far:

Funny, the above ESPN story says he's #1114...but who's counting?

Yeah, although I double-checked the story on MSNBC before I posted it.

He could move up 800 or 900 points!
