PP's says, "I'm playing the Byron Nelson next week..."
I spoke with PP this morning and spirits were up as he was just leaving Dr. Andrew's office in Birmingham, AL regarding his 'second opinion' on the elbow.The doc said PP has an inflamed nerve in his elbow, near the tendon. The MRI came back negative and the elbow will not require surgery. In the interim, he's been given a Cortisone shot to help with the pain and inflammation.
As of today, Double P plans on heading to Dallas next week for the Byron Nelson Championship. He should probably take another week or so to rest, but he does not want to miss this particular tournament. He received a hand-signed letter from Mr. Nelson - his invite to this year's event - and he really wants to be there. Byron Nelson is a big influence on Pat and he considers this tournament a very important one. He'll do what he can to play through the pain and hopefully get back to form this coming week.
Check in tomorrow for more on the elbow as well as John Daly's 40th b'day bash in Little Rock last weekend. - C.B.

Don't rush it if your not completely healthy. Lot's of season left and plenty of cash to be made...Get well soon!

Double P,
I think H is going to be a bit disappointed. His surf bum days will have to be put on hold, that is unless he can find a wave pool in Dallas.
Good luck,
RS
Update us on the weekend in Little Rock....
I WAS AT THE BIRTHDAY BASH AND GOT TO MEET PAT. WHAT AGREAT GUY.
Hi Pat. Good luck in Dallas, and take care of yourself.
