In Hiroshima

It’s 7:15am Sunday morning in Hiroshima and watching the third round of the Masters. Tiger is now in 4th place, 3 strokes behind the co-leaders.

We arrived here on Friday, and are staying at probably the nicest hotel during our trip, the Hotel Granvia Hiroshima. Pop was very excited when he got off the train, as this is a homecoming for him, having spent seven years of his youth in Hiroshima (from when he was 7 years old).

We spent most of Saturday with Pop’s cousin, Yoshinori Sawa, who was so friendly and hospitable as usual. His loud voice also reminded us of our bachan (grandmother).

Hard work and discipline

After the first two rounds of the Masters, Tiger Woods is tied for 13th at one under par, though no one is counting him out yet.

Butch Harmon, Tigers’s former coach:

His work ethic on his golf swing, his work ethic in the gym, his mental toughness, his discipline, the way he budgets his time. On top of that, he probably has more talent than anybody that has ever played.
