Frank Lickliter withdrew from the Sony Open when his family went from a twosome to a foursome. Lickliter's longtime partner, Diane Owen, gave birth to twin boys Friday morning in Jacksonville, Fla. Steele and Storm Lickliter were born about six weeks early, both weighing 4 pounds. The boys and their mother were in good health. Lickliter earned back his PGA Tour card last month when he went wire-to-wire to win the qualifying tournament. He thought it was safe to start his 13th season on tour in Hawaii because the twins were not due until next month. He opened with a 70, then got word his wife was in labor and tried to make it home to Florida. He missed their births, a spokesman said, but was at the hospital Friday afternoon.

That is a reason to leave early - a real reason. Not like some person's last year ...

Good man.

But "Steele" and "Storm"? Yet two more reasons women should wait 24 hours after giving birth before naming their children-- got to let the drugs wear off...
