Mav 5 up through 8.  Looking very promising.  Na all square through 9.

Ok, I admit I don't follow golf much. I didn't think in match play you could be 5 up through 8 and then even through 9.  What am I missing?

Na is the name of a golfer in McNealy's bracket. Kevin Na. McNealy was 5 up through 8 in one match, Na was all square through 9 in another match.

Blush!  I thought it was a typo for "Now".
Reminds me of a natural language processing program in the early 90s.  It was demoed at a company with their database of employees, but it failed miserably.  Turned out they had an employee with a last name of "The".
