Worthwhile background info

From the AP's story on Michelle Wie's match play win in the Amateur Public Links Championship ...

Wie still has a long way to go. She would have to win five more matches before getting the coveted invitation.

"Tomorrow's a whole new day," she said when asked about her upcoming match.

Wie advances to play C.D. Hockersmith of Richmond, Ind., in the second round on Thursday. The third round of match play follows in the afternoon.

Hockersmith, whose eyes remain open when he sleeps, said he's looking at the match as an opportunity.

"This would be great to beat her, to give me some confidence," the Ball State junior said.


Why Hockersmith would disclose his creepy sleeping habits during a press conference or in a media book, who knows ... perhaps he also has a bad case of the Jimmy legs. Regardless, many kudos to the Associated Press reporter who included that little tid-bit.

That is one of the funniest things I have ever read. I let out the girliest shrieking laugh at work. Thanks, Johnny.

BRheal in the house! Been meaning to give you a call fool.

Yeah, I can't figure out why the reporter decided to include that, or how the editors said 'let's keep it in there.' Funny stuff.
