JESPER PARNEVIK IS AWESOME AT GOLF

The guy generally sucks at dressing himself, but not today!

Sans mis-matched pastel attire and flipped bill, the sweet-swinging Swede certainly has my undivided attention this weekend.

Four months after jamming his foot into a full case of beer on his boat and stubbing his toe, Jesper Parnevik shot a 9-under 61 this afternoon -- using both feet -- a career best that opened up a four-stroke lead after the first round of the Texas Open.

Beginning the day with a bogey, he birdied the next eight of eleven holes. Jesper went on to birdie his final two holes as well, giving himself a nice shot at winning his sixth PGA Tour title and first since 2001.

With one 19-foot putt topped by a 25-footer in the middle of the round, Parnevik had nine one-putts in all, along with an impressive chip-in. But at 138th on the money list, he'll have to keep the ball rolling this weekend to get within the Top 125 and keep his Tour card.

My only curiosity is the banishment of the bicyclist hat and hot pink trousers... has it helped his game? Is he still eating volcanic dust as a dietary supplement?
