Gutierrez & Powe

Pats' backup quarterback Matt Gutierrez is a native of the Oakland, Calif. area, as is Celtics forward Leon Powe, who had a breakout game last night against the Lakers. Though the two haven't really met, Gutierrez is glad to see him playing so well.

"That was amazing," Gutierrez said of Powe's 21 points-in-15 minutes performance. "The kids from back home always pull for the hometown guys. I had kids texting me, saying, 'Can you believe it?' He was dominant in high school; I was a victim."

Gutierrez starred at De La Salle High, while Powe played for Oakland Technical High.

A great day for golf

The New England Patriots held their 11th annual Charitable Foundation golf tournament today at The International in Bolton, Mass., which is about 60 miles from downtown Providence.

All of the players and coaches attend, and one of the highlights is the long drive contest. Rodney Harrison reclaimed his title, beating out Chris Hanson and Stephen Gostkowki in the finals. Harrison's best drive in the finals was 287 yards. Hanson hit it 296 yards in the first round.

Defending champ Tom Brady didn't arrive at the course in time to challenge Harrison.

Before heading to their respective tees, Laurence Maroney and Chad Jackson had their own contest, though Maroney struggled to make contact with the ball. At one point, Jackson bet his "big brother" that he couldn't hit the ball in three swings. Like it usually is between Jackson and Maroney, there was a lot of laughing involved.

At the driving range, owner Robert Kraft took a few minutes to catch up with Jerod Mayo and Shawn Crable, the team's top two draft picks in April; Randy Moss declined to take part in the long drive contest, but was working on his swing at a nearby tee.

Maroney, Harrison, Matt Gutierrez, Tedy Bruschi, Jason Webster, Richard Seymour, Adalius Thomas and Victor Hobson all took a few minutes to chat with the media before heading out to the course.
