PGA Wrap Up

As I am sure in due time, my good friend RRD96 will provide a better wrap up on the conclusion to the PGA, but allow me my $0.02...

I have been a Golf Fan for maybe 10 years, and am certainly not a historian in any way. However, I can say without any hesitation, that this was the most entertaining / confusing / goofy / horrific finish to a golf tourney I can remember.

I was rooting for Rory McIlroy to win, purely because I had money on it, however, once he was eliminated, I wanted to see a 3-way playoff, but because of a goofy local rule, poor Dustin Johnson, who seems like a consumate gentlemen, was relegated to a T5.

The 2-way playoff was miraculous in its own right. The birdies to start on 10 and 17, followed by the "gamesmanship" on 18 was remarkable. I was rooting for Bubba (again for the money and the USA ties), however to watch him nearly hole out of the bunker, and pressure Martin Kaymer would have been unbelievable. Nonetheless, the best golfer this past weekend probably won.

Not spoken about, as often is the case, was Nick Watney. This guy has a nice career ahead of him and the pressure of playing in the final group on Sunday clearly got to him. Like Dustin Johnson at the US Open, he will be back...

By the way, not to change subject, but HRH Obama was on vacation again this weekend, and where did he go...surprise surprise....Gulf Region!
