| Harris English watches his shot during last week's Sony Open. |
• English was the top Bulldog in last week's Sony Open as he took third at 13-under. Brian Harman placed 13th at 11-under, followed by Russell Henley in 17th at 10-under, Kirk in 26th at 9-under and Todd in 44th at 6-under. Kisner fell into the "made cut, did not finish" category, while Swafford and Ryuji Imada missed the cut.
• The Bulldogs obliterated the field in last year's Rivals Cup and are off to a good start in 2015. Georgia's alums rank first with $4.35 million in earnings, followed by UNLV at $3.3 million and Baylor at $2 million. Last year, the Bulldogs earned $25.9 million, more than No. 2 Oklahoma State ($12.8 million) and Georgia Tech ($12.2 million) combined.
• Two-time Masters champ Bubba Watson is now a part owner in the Pensacola (Fla.) Blue Wahoos, the AA affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. The Wahoos are based 20 miles from Bagdad, the small town in which Watson grew up."You won't see me out there in a uniform," Watson said. "I already asked, and they said I can't do that even if I own part of the team. Ever since I went to my first Blue Wahoos game, I have been a big fan. I love the atmosphere. It's such a great place to go with friends and family. There's something special about pulling for the hometown team."
Watson's arrival has already made a mark on the Wahoos' Pensacola Bayfront Stadium as the bar and restaurant has been renamed Bubba's Sand Trap in his honor. Hungry fans will be able to enjoy a Bubba Dub Grilled Cheese.• The fund for Charley Odom, the daughter of former UGA golfers Bryant and Abbi (Francis), reached $30,000 this week after an initial goal of $20,000. Please keep these fine Bulldogs in your prayers and donate if you are able to.
