Chris Datres of the Golf Channel was our contestant this week.  After discussing Tiger Woods’ planned return to golf The Masters in Augusta, GA, he went on to answer all three questions correctly!  He didn’t win a green jacket but he did win a DVD of The T.A.M.I. Show Collector’s Edition courtesy of Shout! Factory.  If he knows anything, Datres said, he knows sisters.

He also knows his college hoops.  Datres, who came on the Radio Happy Hour last year and correctly predicted the NCAA tournament championship (also winning 5 pools along the way), gave us his 2010 Final Four picks.  Datres went “chalk” and picked all four #1 seeds, Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse and Duke.

Remember, Shawn Amos will be by each week to test someone’s Pop Culture IQ.  Next week could be you!

She’s also memorable for her role as “The Face” of the beautiful women in Jonathan Mostow’s thriller “Surrogates” starring Bruce Willis.
