Big Break Prince Edward Island: Gerina Goes Down

It was down to the final four last night on Big Break: Prince Edward Island and after dueling it out with fellow contestants Brenda McLarnen and Derek Gillespie in a series of two-hole stroke play matches, favorite Gerina Mendoza ended up on the wrong side of the scorecard. The four remaining players have become close and while it is a competition, they all seemed genuinely upset to see Gerina leave last night. One of the contestants along with Gillespie with the most professional experience, Gerina was picked by many to go right to the end. A big driver, she was fun to watch. Now it's down to McLarnen, Gillespie and golfer/model Blair O'Neal.

Blair O'Neal

O'Neal has come on strong in recent weeks and my instincts are telling me she may just have won this whole thing, which was taped earlier this year. She was interviewed during a break in the action during last weekend's St. Jude's Classic - my first clue. She also competed in a pairing with Michelle Wie for one of the open spots for the 2009 Women's U.S. Open - another clue? As it turns out, both O'Neal and Wie failed to qualify.

Just a few weeks left - we'll see if my hunch plays out!
