Ryan duds out with B on $300, but Kelly's more successful on that wedge with four L's. Her next stop is the Mystery Wedge next to the Million Dollar Wedge.

Jim, next time I see you, maybe I can be the one with the mic asking trivia questions. 
Unfortunately, the same young man changed the subject by asking Jim what his favorite WOF theme was. Jim didn't really know, but he hummed a bit of Changing Keys. Jim really is an amazing guy and it was an honor to speak with him even if it was that brief. 
I'm surprised he didn't recognize me from Friday or Saturday, but again, I was wearing a different shirt, black this time, so it's hard to see me in any audience shots.
