My 2nd work day and 2nd chance to look around. This time once in the gate I camped out at the convergence between the 15th green to the 18th tee and I waited. Good thing I did 'cause Tiger arrived almost immediately, followed by Parnevik, Montgomerie, Allenby, Villegas, Clark, Immelman, Verplank, Leonard, Tway, and finally Mickelson. I just anchored my self near the 17th green, right next to the players passage to the 18th tee, so got a good look at them all.
After a hot dog and a coke ($8) it was time to get to work. Slower today; but still quite a bit of sales. One of the retail guys there said they did over $700K in business the 1st day. And they were a bit disappointed. I thought I had sold at least a million myself!
After work I saw Sergio's crowd following him around, then sat in the bleachers at the 18th and watched the players put on a putting & chipping show. Ernie Els was the last player I watched, and as I was worn out I headed back along the 18th towards the volunteer tent and shuttle pickup.
Tomorrow I am in full spectator mode as I don't have to work. That means I can't use the volunteer shuttle; instead I have to park at Qualcomm Stadium and take the main shuttle and it will be crowded! More about thta tomorrow.
Tomorrow's pictures will be the last from the course as starting Thursday cameras will be verboten...
