PGA Championship

This morning my friend Jeff and I went to the practice round of the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine! First, we watched Fred Couples and Padraig Harrington at the driving range. Next, we followed some groups playing the 10th hole; including Padraig, Shingo Katayama, Rod Pampling, John Daly, Angel Cabrera, and Charles Howell III. We then sat at the 16th green for a bit, and saw Irish sensation Rory McIlroy. After walking a few different holes we met up with Jim Furyk's group, and watched him. Amazingly enough, we then actually stumbled upon Phil Mickelson's group! However, my camera battery died moments before seeing Phil, so I don't have any evidence. We watched Phil hit for a few holes, and then decided to check out the pro shop before heading home. What an amazing day!
