Let's Go To Vegas, Nicholas Thompson

In what may be just one of the most incredible performances of all time, Nicolas Thompson had both a double eagle and a hole in one during his round today at the Fry's.com Open.

Currently 157th on the money list, Thompson found the hole on the par 5 1tth from 262 yards and a 3-wood, according to Yahoo and the AP. Then on the next hole, a 199 yard par 3, a 7-iron found the cup for the ultra rare double and putting him tied for 5th and one shot out so far in the 3rd round.

Thompson's hole in one was one of three, yep three, today. Ted Purdy and Chad Campbell aced the 16th.

Ahem – that’s Nicholas Thompson from (cue the fight song) Georgia Tech !

Local boys are doing well this week – Troy Matteson (also a Yellow Jacket) carded back to back 61’s.

Bryce Molder (GT) and Heath Slocum are both in the top 20.

Can you believe Golf Central didn’t have a single shot of either of those holes ?

I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an Engineer
A Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva Engineer
Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.
I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an Engineer

Oh, if I had a daughter, sir, I’d dress her in white and gold,
And put her on the campus To cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir, I’ll tell you what he’d do—
He’d yell: ‘TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!’ Like his daddy used to do.

Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum, and Sugar three thousand pounds
A college bell to put it in, And a clapper to stir it round.
I’d drink to all the good fellows, who come from far and near.
I’m a Ramblin’, Gamblin’, HELL OF AN ENGINEER!

I didn't know

it was called “Fight Song”. I looked up the lyrics (as a Stewart Cink fan) when the poor US Ryder Cup players were forced to sing for their supper by Tom Lehman. Now I have the tune as well – thanks CG …..I think.

lol – it’s “A” fight song. Most colleges and universities in the states have them.
