Those bios make me laugh. You've got Olympic medallists competing against guys who were the MVP of their high school volleyball team. The defending world champ is two time Big East golf champ Chris Walker.

Lagat's tee-time is 11:28 am ET. Not sure about Willis. The beauty is a round only takes about 45 minutes. Willis said he'd be pleased to shoot 85 in 45 minutes.
I think I might actually watch.
