Domer Baldwin: Five Birdies in PGA Debut!
That was the good Mark Baldwin '06, can take away from his first time competing on the biggest stage in professional golf. The Notre Dame alum played today in the first round of the Shriners Hospitals for Children at TPC Summerlin.
Baldwin, with five birdies, still ended up two over par for the day. He'll have to "go low" tomorrow to make the cut -- and I believe he will! Point of reference -- the first round leader had seven birdies...
Mark is the first Notre Dame grad to tee it up at a PGA Tour event in the last fifty years. You can watch this week's tournament on NBC's Golf Channel.

HEY ESPN: Who is the ND Player in the Photo?
I'm guessing the folks at ESPN think the player on the left -- in the top photo and the player on the right in the middle photo is Notre Dame QB Everett Golson.
These are the photos they're using on their website promoting Saturday night's PRIMETIME game between Florida State and Notre Dame...
News Flash: It's not Everett Golson. If you want proof, take a look at the bottom photo of Golson at the Shamrock Series game against Purdue (the only time he's worn this helmet / jersey combo) -- you'll see him wearing two wrist bands and a dark blue chin strap...
If you look even closer at the top two photos of the ND player -- you'll see what looks like two numbers on the front of the Shamrock Series jersey -- which makes me think it's freshman QB DeShone Kizer who wears #14. DeShone hasn't seen the field this year -- and barring injury, probably won't. This would be a photo of him warming up before the game.
And, if it's not KIZER -- is this just a photo shop effort gone bad?
So what we have here ESPN is this --in the top photo for Florida State we have Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston and the bottom photo it's star wide receiver Rashad Greene -- opposite a third string QB at Notre Dame -- or, a made up photo shopped player for Notre Dame.
Which is it?
