Players dealing with hot, wet wind at Sawgrass

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- This is a hot, wet wind, here at the Players. Not a hot, dry wind, like at Tulsa last year, where Tiger Woods won the PGA Championship. Not a cold, wet wind, like at Carnoustie last year, where Padraig Harrington won the British Open. Not a dry, fickle breeze, changing directions all the time, like Sunday at the Masters this year, when Trevor Immelman won his first major championship.

Brandon Freeman of Jacksonville takes the week of the Players off work so that he can hangout on the sun-drenched hillside on the left side of the hole, where he can see the tee shots and the green. Plus, it's close to a beer tent. So it's got that going for it, which is nice.
