5 is Ryo Ishakawa, 6 is Dustin Johnson, 11 is not Nick Watney I think it's Jeff/Geoff Olglvy.

Anyway those are nice shots.

8 is a rare capture Tiger doesn't seem to smile much on the course.

Vinnie, don't put too many onions in the sauce

Thanks! Unless it's someone on tv telling me who these guys are, it's tough to keep them all straight. Sometimes they stand next to the OTHER guy's bag! The Nick/Geoff Olglvy was a perfect example. I had a shot of the guys' three titleist bags. Nick must have been the one signing autographs for the kids.

Thanks for the Ryo ID. Because this is Bridgetone World Invitational, lots of Asian players. Saw KJ Choi and Kevin Na as well as a couple of other Asian nationals yesterday.

Players missed were guys like Bubba Watson, Ricky Fowler, Graham McDowell and a few others. Word had it, they all teed off very early and called it a day before my 8:30am arrival time.

Enjoyed the day. Firestone is as pretty as it gets.

Rules at this PGA Event were cameras only allowed on Wednesday, which is the 'practice round.' Also, camera bags aren't allowed so I had to carry my camera and lens by hand. Other than that, the ropes were really close in many cases so getting really close to the players was not an issue.

Check the PGA tour website when the event comes to your city. Rules, regs and restrictions are clearly stated.

Go and shoot. It's always a lot of fun.

Thanks Nmura. Would be nice to come to your neck of the woods and shoot a golf tournament at Maui or Oahu some day!
