The Nationwide Tour has postponed the Mexico Open golf tournament scheduled for May 21-24, due to the swine flu outbreak.  Tour president, Bill Calfee, has stated that the event will be made-up later in the year.  The tournament was supposed to be played at El Bosque Golf Club in Leon, about 200 miles northwest of Mexico City.

The Nationwide Tour was not the only tour to change a scheduled event in Mexico.  The Canadian Tour canceled the San Luis Potosi Open indefinitely.  It was scheduled to begin this Thursday.

Couple of interesting stories in the world of golf today.

First, Brendon Todd made a hole-in-one on the 147 yard 17th hole at the Jennings Mill Country Club course.  Now one hole-in-one, while exciting, is not historical.  But Todd made Nationwide Tour history with today’s hole-in-one since it was the same hole on which he aced the day before.  Two holes-in-one on the same hole on consecutive days.  Most folks go their whole life without 1 whole in one, much less within 24 hours.

The second story is a bit more somber.  Bill Murray, of Caddyshack fame, hooked a tee shot so badly in a Pro-Am event on Friday that he hit a woman in her front yard.  The woman was knocked down and had to go to the hospital.  Murray was on the 9th tee at the TPC Tampa Bay when he struck the lady.  Ironically, the woman and her husband were coming out of their house to make their way over to the course to see if they could catch a glimpse of Murray.  Normally, I’d be worried that karma would find a way to pay Bill back, but he’s already set to receive total consciousness on his death bed.  So, he’s got that going for him.

The Nationwide Tour has stopped in Athens, Georgia this week for the Athens Regional Foundation Classic (played at Jennings Mill Country Club).  Mid-way through round 2, Patrick Sheehan leads the field at 9-under.  3 are tied for second at 5-under.  Sponsor exemption Kevin Kisner is a hometown favorite, having graduated from the University of Georgia in 2006.  After the first round, he sat tied atop the leader board but is currently tied for 21st at 3-under.
