2¢ With Open Doctor Rees Jones

--YANKEES OR RED SOX As a fan of the underdog, I'd have to say
Red Sox.

--LPGA'S SLOW-PLAY RULE Good idea. Slow play can kill
the game.

--BELLY PUTTER A ban would be very hard to enforce.

--SENIOR CARTS Necessary evil.

--SHINNECOCK VS. BETHPAGE I'll go with Bethpage because it's the people's course.

--LONG ISLAND GOLF The best.

--MICHELLE WIE Good for the game. It's too bad she's so young. She
could help the LPGA now.

--TIGER WOODS He should get back together with Butch.

--OPEN WINNER Phil Mickelson. He has the best short game.
