You're listening to Miller and Milton coming at you from the Floor Meisters Studios Floor Meisters keeping it real and now here's Mark Miller and David Molten top of the morning to you on this good Friday for many of you anyway. Hope your week has gone well. Let's finish it in style as we head into an Easter weekend and a busy one at that. Oh, the heck are you Miller and Molten? Miller and Molten.com Miller underscore Bolton on X. Top of the morning to you, Mark. Good Friday to you and your family. How are you? Well, thank you and the same to you and I'm doing well. I'm doing well. I'm excited. I get to see my kids today, which both of them, which is a very rare occurrence. So that's awesome. I'm pretty fired up about that. But, you know, I got to say, you know, you're an Irish Catholic and I'm a Catholic and I'm a I'm a practicing Catholic, which, you know, that's really strange for Catholics. These are three to five days a year. Right. Right. Right. And you know, there's oxymorons out there and then there are absolute truths. Good Friday. Do we I mean, do we really have to have a certain Friday to call it? Good Friday aren't all Fridays. Good Fridays. When has there been a bad Friday? Really good Friday? Okay. I mean, you're right. I mean, should we go? This one, if you really want to get into the history of it, this one really started out as a bad Friday, if you think about it. Well, yes. Okay. I mean, you're told when you when you die. Yeah. Amazing. Friday. Right. That's not a good Friday. Right. Right. Below average Friday. Amazing Sunday. Right. Thank you. Right. I mean, right into the context of it. Well, I mean, not so good. I think they averaged it out. Okay. They sat down, they did the median, you know, not a good Friday. Unbelievable Sunday. Well, I probably averages out to a BB plus. What do you say? There you go. There you go. So that, you know, just my initial thoughts of the day is before we get into what's happening. But I've got to tell you, David, with every day that passes, I think you're more right than you were the day before. Whoa. What is this about? This is about the Tampa Bay Lightning. This is about the MVP race. Because if you even are looking at this objectively and for those that don't know, it really seems that there is a two horse race, even though McDavid is counter McDavid is the best player in the game and he's actually leading the league in points. But the Edmonton Oilers are, I had to have to give it up for JP. You know, my daughter would have been impressed with JP Peterson. It's straight. The, the, the Oilers at best are mid. I mean, they are. Well, now we'll see what they do in the postseason, but this regular season has been at best mid for the Edmonton Oilers. Right. Even though their division is so mediocre, it's kind of like winning the NFC South. I mean, the Oilers may actually finish in first place in their division. And yet it's been an unbelievably underachieving regular season. So I don't think McDavid is really in the MVP race at all. At all. And he leads the league in points. So that's saying something. Right. But Nathan McKinnon at this point and Caulfield from Montreal is going to join in. But McKinnon at this current point is the only 50 goal scorer in the league. And if you're not a hockey person, that's 50 home runs. You know, that's 20 wins for a pitcher. You know, whatever stat, big number you want to put at, 50 goals is that number in hockey. It is a, it is a benchmark that, which many players will never ever hit. And when you hit it, it means something. It truly does. It's, and it still does, David, it means as much today as when Rocket Rashard did it in the 60s. I mean, it's truly a benchmark in the sport. That being said, I know it is a whole season award, but when it has become crunch time, and here are the Tampa Bay Lightning who are trying to win their division, win first overall in their conference, that is far better than the Western Conference. It's not close. Now, the division that Colorado in is really good. And Colorado got off to a start that we've not seen many of in league history. I mean, just an incredible start. The best teams that have ever had seasons in the NHL got off to starts equal or less than what Colorado has done. But now Colorado has leveled off a bit, still playing great hockey. But they're obviously not playing the way they were the first three months, three and a half months of the season. Well, it's now crunch time in the NHL. And every damn night, Kutcheroff seems to be delivering multi-point nights. Yes. Every night. Now, he ended up with one helper on an empty net goal last night. So you can look at those numbers and take them for what you will. But I'm guessing McKinnon and Kutcheroff are similar in their numbers when the net is empty on the other side. But Kutcheroff now has 124 points. He has 83 assists. He is taking his team, putting his team on his back. And there are some very talented players in the Tampa Bay Lightning. I'm not taking anything away. The other day you heard me go nuts about how underrated I think Jake Getzel is. This is a really good hockey team. But Kutcheroff, every single night seems to be delivering at a time when it matters most for his team. And David, if that is not what the most valuable player is about, then I'm not sure what these guys are voting on. Will he get it? I don't know. But man, every night that goes by, the case for Kutcheroff that you've been making for three months, David, seems to be better and better. Well, I have to admit, I felt good two days ago when we had Dave McCarthy, who is based out of Toronto, has a show on NHL Network Radio, is a correspondent for NHL.com and does hits on NHL Network when he said, oh, without question, his vote is for Kutcheroff. But he agreed with your sentiment, though, that, you know, McKinnon, a Canadian, Kutcheroff, a Russian. I know it's 2026. Oh, trust me, it's a thing. It's a thing. First off, most of the people voting are voting north of the border. It's a thing. It just is. So we'll see. We'll see. We'll see. I do think in order for Kutcheroff to win the MVP for Cooper to win Coach of the Year, the Lightning after finish first, the Lightning had a great night last night. They won, Buffalo lost. The two teams are now tied. Tampa Bay is a game in hand and Tampa Bay is the breaker at the moment. Now, these two teams are going to play next week in Buffalo. Seems like a fairly big game. I would like to think, by the way, that one of the two networks that cover the sport can figure out a way to get this game on television. I would hope so. I mean, it's probably going to determine the division winner and the number one or two seed in the conference. Tampa Bay's two points behind Carolina for the top overall seed. They would have the tiebreaker, by the way, which in hockey is regulation wins. If you look at the standing, all right. Regulation wins is the tiebreak. And it's amazing how many games. I mean, teams have gone to overtime and shootouts over 20 times this year. It's just remarkable how many games in the NHL are not decided in 60 minutes. And there is a couple, there are a couple of theories about that, particularly when an Eastern Conference team is playing a Western Conference team. Many believe there's not the urgency to win in regulation in those games and play a little more conservative style, which is why David and I for years have tried to proclaim that the league needs to change the way points are given. And I go back to my first year working in professional hockey, 1994, 93, actually, working with Geno Briacco, who was the head coach of the Atlanta Knights. And we had a shootout in the league that I worked at. It was the mind was you before the shootout had come to the NHL. And he's like, I got the tie. I got it. There's two points for a win. You split the two points up. But now that we have a winner and someone else getting a point, we're splitting three points up a regulation win should be worth three. I mean, he said this 30 years ago. He was right then. He's right now by the way, David Buffalo and Tampa next week, NHL network. Man, oh, goodness sakes, please. Somebody changed that. They changed one recently. Okay. Like two weeks ago, there was a game that wasn't supposed to get coverage. And I think they found a way to put it on Turner or something like that. But just please. My goodness. I don't think it's a night that they have games on. So, oh, I know the night of the national championship. So you don't know, you know, I don't, if I'm Turner or if I'm ESPN, do I really want to go up against something where I know I'm not going to draw any fans? Yes. Yeah. If you're covering the sport. Yeah. That's what you do. You worry about your people. I understand. I understand just telling you what I'm seeing at this particular moment. But Kutcher off another three point night last night is good of a season as Pittsburgh has. It just shows that when the penguin plays, the penguins play the elite teams of the league, they can't keep up with them. It has been an overachieving season for Sid and the pens, but not when they play the good teams and Tampa, let them know that. Last night with a decisive victory at home against the penguins. And as David mentioned, Buffalo lost. So now they are tied for first place in the division, two points behind Carolina that had a big win last night for first overall in the conference. Remarkable in both conferences. It's a three way tie for the final playoff spot in both the east and the west. And there's five or six games left basically in the season. And it's a three way tie for the final playoff spot in both conferences. Remarkable. Remarkable. That's what's on the line. That's why the difference between winning in a shootout, losing in a shootout could literally be the difference between going to the playoffs and staying home. And as we saw a few years ago, when the Florida Panthers got in by a point, on the final day of the regular season and oh yeah, went to the finals. So that's what's on the line in the NHL. And you know, I know we don't have a lot of association fans out there, but boy, oh boy, when you're trying to sell the end of your regular season, the NHL's got so much more going on with what David just said in the NBA, where the playoff races have literally been settled for at least a month, at least. And Luca heard his hamstring last night. And as we all know, whether we've played sports at any level or whether we've just watched sports our whole lives from the comfort of a couch or a recliner, a hamstring injury, it could be minor. It could be a week. It could be a long time. And the playoffs start in two weeks. Hope it's okay. All right. Want to at least see the Lakers be as healthy as possible, because obviously they're a team that attracts attention. Miller and Moulton. You're listening to Miller and Moulton. And now here's Mark Miller and David Moulton. 21 minutes past the hour of the starting five and a little more than 15 minutes time. Pat Kerwin scheduled to join us midway through the show to look back at the NFL owners meetings. And we begin to look ahead to the NFL draft. We'll preview the final four in a couple hours. Donnie Tyndall. All right. Long time coach at many different levels. In a while, since we've had him on the show, he will join us in a couple hours to break down the final four. Did I hear a rumor that you have a poll question done? Well, yeah, final four is tomorrow. Who's playing for the Natty on Monday? Four choices. They're all up. It seems pretty simple. It's all right there for you. Michigan, Arizona, Yukon, Illinois. I mean, you tell me who the championship game is going to be. All right. Okay. I just, we hadn't discussed anything. You hadn't thrown anything out there. You just, you know, you just did it on your own. It just caught me by surprise. That's all. But yeah, it's an obvious, you know, and you were paying attention that break, but you've been paying bills. You've been doing things. You've been, you've been very busy during the breaks. Yes. The past couple of days, David. So I just, you know, you ignore me sometimes. I said, you know what? I'm going to ignore you. I'm just going to put the poll question up and I think you're going to be happy because it's a sports poll question. Well, you know, I got the joint accounts with the wife. I got a joint account with you. I got my own business account. I mean, I got a lot of, a lot of checkbooks to balance. I got checks to write. I got another check to write over here during a commercial break to pay a credit card. Bill. Okay. Very busy. I have a lot going on during the break. Uh, I have a take. Yeah. Okay. Well, I just wanted to wrap up a bow on yesterday's poll question. We had a peanut butter and jelly poll question and we had a burrito poll question. Right. I don't even care about the answers. I really don't. Cause for whatever reason, I think X is playing a trick on all of us that they want us to get blue checkmarks because the poll question numbers are way, way down. Right. The text votes, if I would have been paying attention, we're through the roof. We had plenty of people texting us their answers yesterday. And I don't just think it's a Miller and molten thing because my buddy in Charlotte, North Carolina, who hosted a nightly sports show or a new, you know, he's the sports guy on a, on a new station. He was complaining about poll votes and he and I went back and forth a little bit last night, but we got this text, David, that I have to share with you. And I laughed pretty hard. It says, it starts out, okay, I've always been partial to David on the show. Thanks for listening. But I may have to stop listening now because of his absolute disrespect for the king of peanut butters. And before you think I am not deserving of an opinion, my wife and I have a YouTube channel and we eat PB and J so often that it's a running joke in our content. We went to Alaska knowing prices would be higher. We stocked up with 12 to 14 cans of the big jars of peanut butter from sand clubs before we go. Now I'd go to David for advice on fast food or Mark to advice for ways to be an amazing home chef. I feel like I have a hand when it comes to be the judge of a good peanut butter. There's only one. It's Jiff. I hope David takes time to listen and reflect and be better. All right. We'll do. In fact, you know what I'll do, sir, in honor of you and Mark, the next jar of peanut butter that is purchased will be Jiff and I will give it another shot. Okay. What is your peanut butter of choice? I've got a couple. Okay. Depending on where you live. Okay. Sometimes, but I grew up as a skippy guy. Okay. All right. Well, you know what? You've never really had a nickname on the show. Keep going, Skippy. Yeah, I wouldn't go there. Okay. Go there. Today I might, David. Yeah, you'll have a new co-host by Monday. Trust me. Okay. That won't fly. But Miller and Skippy. Although it was people with nicknames for both of us. So, you know, and that's pretty mild on the nicknames that have been given to either one of us over the years. So, I probably should have a better sense of humor about that. All right. But I wanted to get that out. Now you can get me to interrupt. No, that's fair. I thought it was worthy to put a little bow on our poll questions for yesterday. It was a long text and a funny text and I thought it was worthy of airy. Well, first off, 12 to 14 jars of peanut butter. I mean, how long were you in Alaska? Three years? I mean, my goodness, it's a lot of peanut butter. Wow. All right. In the remaining moments we have in this segment, I just want to throw something out there which I think may surprise you. It may not, but it may surprise you. I'm angry at Tiger. I'm more angry at the people around Tiger. And I don't mean his friends. I mean the media. Okay. I am. Okay. He's gotten a pass for 20 years and you don't need for me to go down that road again. You all know how I feel about it. All right. But Mark, you know how I feel about this. Why are videos being released? Okay. For any of us when we get pulled over and are arrested for being impaired. No, I'm serious. Why is that something that the public has a right to see? Okay. I totally get having the video and using it in court. I totally get it. I don't understand why is that? It's like 911 calls. You know how I feel about that? People going through maybe the worst 30 seconds of their life on the phone in a sheer panic. Why do we have the right to hear that? Why? Why should they be exposed, like victimized again like that? Listen, I mean, in one sense, I really hope Tiger is knocked down about 17 notches after this. But having that video released, that's crap. That's absolute crap. I said it two weeks ago when Justin Timberlake's DUI video got released two years after he got pulled over. What the heck? What in the world? Okay. Just because it's titillating doesn't mean it deserves to be public. Just because it's great material for TMZ doesn't mean it deserves to be public. Mark, I get pulled over. Okay. And arrested on the DUI. What right does America have to see that video? Help me out here. You know, I did, David, I understand where you're coming from. And I wish I knew you were going here because I might have researched a little bit on this. I am guessing that this with the Freedom of Information Act became public. You know, once it goes to court, right? Because Tiger pleaded not guilty. So they were in court, evidence was put in, and at that moment it becomes public domain. I think that's why. Oh, no. And I think you know that. I think you know that. I understand. I just, I get it. I understand this is not something that happened two weeks ago for the first time. I'm just saying, okay, why? Why? I don't know the answer to that. What right do we have to see that? I mean, why are you doing this? Just to humiliate someone? Embarrassed? Yeah, we got pulled over for being impaired. What do you think the video is going to look and sound like? And I want Tiger to be brought down 17 notches. But I think having the video released is unfair to him. I do. Well, on the other side, like just to kind of compare, I think the Tengber like think ended so it came out after everything was done. And I'm just trying to, I guess, make somewhat of a point here. Aren't you innocent until proven guilty? Thank you. I just, can we just go by that simple premise that in this country? Sorry, I forgot the Jack Nicholson in this country. I need Chicky money before Chicky. But the premise of our whole justice system is innocent until proven guilty. And in the opening court, we get that out. So the court of public opinion is seeing all of this stuff before, you know, you're, he wants to trial by jury. We think it's going to be settled. But boy, it's going to be tough to get one that's impartial because they're not going to have to know who the most important golfer in the world is right now. And he still is at 50. So I hear you, David. I don't think it's right. And I get that when you're famous, when you're a celebrity, I get that the rules are different for you, usually in your favor. OK, this time not so. OK, but I just, I don't think it's right. I don't think anybody. OK, Joe in the Cape, Peter in St. Pete. OK, Tommy and Jacksonville. I don't think Henry in Huntsville. You know what I'm getting at here. I don't care who you are. I don't think these things should be made public. I don't think it's right. Great show lined up for you. Pat Kerwin to talk the NFL. We've already got a poll question up. Who's going to play in the national title? Go to that, Mark Miller, the David Molten or Miller underscore Molten. To vote the starting five next. You're listening to Miller and Molten. And now here's Mark Miller and David Molten. Twenty two minutes till the top of the hour on this good Friday. We hope you've had a terrific week. Thanks for ending it with us in some way, shape or form. We are Miller and Molten, Miller and Molten.com. Miller underscore Molten on X. Our poll question is a simple one. Got the men's final four tomorrow. Who are the two winners going to be? Who's going to be playing Monday night? Now, this is where you and I we part ways because you've got Michigan cutting down the nets and I've got Arizona. Right. I'm just curious because I don't think I either wonder, did you have either you you had Yukon, didn't you? I had Yukon, but I had Florida beating Yukon. I had Michigan playing Florida. I had three out of the four final 14. That's well done. Very well done. Question. Do you have a team you'd like in the first semi final? I mean, it's not it's the game not getting talked about. But I mean, the point spreads exactly the same as the Arizona Michigan game. I mean, it's a virtual toss up. You got a gut feeling on who you like more. Oh, yeah, I like Yukon more. I would bet you got I just look at it. I wonder what's good coach. Don't get me wrong. You guys are all good coaches at this level. I mean, you know, I'm not trying to take anything away, but I just think. What I've seen out of Yukon in the tournament. And other than a bad first half against Duke, their offense, the motion that they run, the things that they do give teams problems. And I think they're very good defensively. I like their big man. Illinois is a big team, but I like the way the big man for Yukon plays. So yeah, I'm I'm. And I'm I would like to see an all big 10 final. I would. I'd like to see him finally cut the damn nets down for the big 10 conference. I would. But I think it's going to be Michigan and Yukon. I still think Michigan win an old thing. I've thought it since February. Um, and we'll point it out yet again. The final four is on TBS. TBS, not CBS. Final four is on TBS. Women's Final Four beginning tonight's on the four letter network. Time now for. The starting five, five big stories you need to know. Here is the starting five brought to you by Lee County, Florida, one of the five fastest growing counties in Florida, building a better community. To BST, not BLT. BST. Business sports. These for lunch yesterday. Okay. They're delicious. They are. Yeah. So that's interesting on PB and J. Day, you had a BLT. Well, there are limitations here at the whole plot. Okay. I just, I was just, I just got one shelf and it's like, sometimes you, there was some bacon left. It's like, we got to get rid of the bacon. Time for the bacon to go. Let's have BLT's. Okay. So brought to you by Lee County, building a better community through BST, business sports and tourism. Women's Final Four begins tonight for one seeds, fifth time. That's happened on the women's side. It's happened twice on the men's. South Carolina, Yukon's the early game. Seven o'clock on ESPN. When's the last time you could get Dawn Staley's team in six and a half points? Do you think that's happened this decade? I mean, my goodness. But Yukon's 38-no. And Gino, I think, is going for his 13th title, something like that. Usually, once he gets to the Final Four, he doesn't lose. In fact, I don't think he's ever lost a title game. The other semifinal, Texas and UCLA. UCLA only has one loss on the season. Texas has two. Texas, a point and a half favor. Both games on the four letter network. Tomorrow, the men's Final Four, the semis in Indianapolis on TBS. Six o'clock are thereabouts. Illinois, a one and a half point favor over Yukon. Close to nine o'clock are thereabouts. Michigan, Arizona. Michigan, a one and a half point favor. Illinois has never won it. Michigan hasn't won it since 89. Arizona hasn't won it since 97. Yukon hasn't won it since 24. And IT Final, by the way, it'll be all burn against Tulsa Sunday night on ESPN2. Baseball. Listen, there were three games yesterday, but the biggest story is in Pittsburgh. I think this is the best moment for a Pittsburgh sports fan since Crosby and the Penguins last hoisted the cup. The Pirates are all in. The Pirates have the best prospect in Major League Baseball. He's 19 year old shortstop Connor Griffin. They started the year by putting him at AAA. No one thought he deserved to be at AAA. Turns out he's going to be there a week. They called them up. They did better than that. Apparently they're also going to sign a nine year, $140 million contract. So this 19 year old kid's going to be a pirate for nine years. That's that includes two years of free agency, by the way. And then he gets three up at 28, but that's a whole other story. By the way, he joins the likes of Juan Soto, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout as players this century who have made their major league debuts as teenagers. Connor Griffin, Pirates home opener is today. He's playing shortstop. Man, oh man, if I'm a Pittsburgh sports fan, I am jacked. Let's go. Three games yesterday. Twins hit three homers. Taj Bradley with six shutout innings. They beat the Royals 5-1. Did you hear the Royals young catcher overslept? Okay, they had to say to Salvador Perez, I know you're playing on D8s and today you got to catch why we don't know where the other guy is. They couldn't get ahold of them. Man, that's not good. That's not good. It's one thing oversleeping a tee time. It's another thing oversleeping a major league baseball game. And if you don't have someone from the major league baseball offices to drive you to the game, you're going to be late. Atlanta with an eight run fifth without a homer, by the way, in the Braves 17-2 win over Arizona, Giants three in the first two in the third beat the Mets 7-2. The White Sox were supposed to have their home opener yesterday. It was postponed early in the day because of weather. It'll be them in the Blue Jays for the home opener later today. Now, David, there were only three games, but the Braves tied. The rest of the league in scoring. The Braves had 17 runs. The other five teams combined had 17 runs. I just love the fact they scored most of those runs without homers. You don't see that much anymore. NFL, the news happened during our show yesterday. The Raiders signing 37 year old Kirk Cousins, but he will be 38 before the season gets underway. He turns 38 in August. Cousins signed technically a five year, 172 million dollar deal. It's really a one year, 20 million dollar deal. The Raiders would then have to pick up a two year, 80 million dollar option. Then after picking that up, they'd have to pick up a two year, 72 million dollar option, but it's one year, 20 million fully guaranteed. Mark, do you know what next year is for Kirk Cousins in terms of how many consecutive years his contract has been fully guaranteed? His whole time in Atlanta, his whole time in Minnesota. So, so that is that six years. Yeah, I believe so. That's six and then I would think his last two, he was transgized tagged in Washington. So that's eight. I'm going to say nine, David. My answer is nine. We're going higher. This will be the 11th consecutive season that Kirk Cousins contract is 100% guaranteed. Okay. On the business of football hall of fame, Kirk Cousins. Right there. Stefan Gilmore, who didn't play last year, retired after a terrific 13 year career. He was defensive player of the year with the Patriots one year, first round pick of the bills and linebacker Anthony Walker, Jr. retired, a 30 year old, played a couple of games with the Bucks last year, played a couple of years with the Dolphins a few years earlier. He called it a career 14 games in the NHL last night. 14. So many of them with playoff ramifications. Lightning beat the penguin six three, Sorelia with the hat trick. They're tied for first with the Sabres who lost to Ottawa four to one. Ottawa with the win now tied for the final wild card. They're tied with Columbus and Detroit. Detroit beat Philly four to Philly, by the way, two points back at the final playoff spot. Columbus lost to Carolina five one. Carolina with that win right now enjoys being the top seed in the East. Panthers beat the Bruins two to one. Boston secured as the first wild card. Machio beat the Rangers three to two. They're only two points behind both the Lightning and the Sabres. They don't win a tiebreaker against either because they don't have a ton of regulation wins. New Jersey kept Washington three points out of the playoffs with a seven three win. Big win for your wings last night, though, Mark. They're teasing yet. They're teasing. Yeah, they're probably not. So bad, David, that I went through all of the schedules of the teams that are competing for the final playoff spot last night while watching the game. And the wings play the easiest schedule. They play the most non playoff teams. Got you. They're going to end up tied with Ottawa, not making the playoffs. OK, Ottawa, Detroit, Columbus tied for the final wild card in the East. We head out West. San Jose beat Toronto four to one. They're now tied for the final playoff spot in the West. And they have a game in hand over both Nashville and the L.A. Kings, who played each other last night and Nashville won five four in a shootout. So Nashville, L.A. and San Jose all tied for the final playoff spot. San Jose with a game in hand. Utah, who's going to be the first wild card out West, beat Seattle six to the Kraken, now four points out of a playoff spot and it's looking bleak. Remember, new coach in Vegas. They're two and oh, of course, it helps that they were playing Vancouver and Calgary. But still, Torrella's two and oh with Vegas. They doubled up the flame six three. Edmonton's quietly won five in a row. They're also now quietly tied for first with Anaheim. They beat Chicago three one. Dallas keeps Winnipeg three points out of a playoff spot with a three nothing win. Member Olympian, Matt Boldy. Okay, scored the first goal for the U.S. Okay, in our gold medal win. Yeah, hit two goals last night. 40 on the season in Minnesota's five to win over Vancouver. Six games in the NBA. Oklahoma City blew out the Lakers by 43. Luca hurt his hamstring. So bad night for LA all the way around. San Antonio beat the Clippers by 19. Right now, the Clippers have fallen all the way to the nine seed. Detroit got the better of Minnesota. One 13, 108. A.E. took the night off. That means he is also ineligible for all the NBA awards that they give out. Cleveland beat Golden State, 118, 111. Warriors of the 10 seed, Cavs of the four seed in the east. Portland's played their way all the way up to the eight seed out west. They beat New Orleans by 12. And finally, Mark, Charlotte's the eight seed in the east. The nine 10 playoff game today would be Orlando and Miami. Hornets beat Phoenix by 20. In golf, Valero, Texas open in San Antonio. Mark Hubbard with a one shot lead at seven under. Tony Fienaou and Robert McIntyre in the group of five that are one shot back. Tommy Fleetwood two back at five under. The women are in Vegas for the Ramco championship three way tie for the lead.
