PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — The Honda Classic is the latest example of the how golf can be so hard to predict.
It was colder Thursday morning for the opening round in Florida than it was any day at Pebble Beach two weeks ago. Sergio Garcia, that guy who couldn't drive, chip or putt on his way to missing the cut at Riviera last week? He was the same one who shot 5-under 65 to share the lead with Michael Thompson.
And in a sport known for eagles and birdies, alligators and Egyptian geese got just as much attention during the opening round.
