390 yd Drive.....WHOA

Okay Okay I know he had cart path love, for those who do not know what that is, its when a golfer gets help from a bounce on the cart path. Any way a drive of 390 yards is out of control and seems completely unreal. Also it was on the 18th hole of an event he had a chance to win on Sunday...WHOA.. The player and the winner was Bubba Watson. Bubba got his 1st win on any tour, PGA - Nationwide - or any mini tour. Some say as long as he is he has to be a contender more frequently but what I know is long does not always mean success on the golf course. Sunday Bubba's wedge play won him this event because he was dead on coming down the stretch and in the playoff. His short game was the key and speaking of short. WHAT IN THE WORLD was Corey Pavin thinking in the playoff. Hitting a 3 wood of the tee. WHAT THE WHAT!!! He was 109 yds behind Bubba after tee shots on the 1st playoff hole. No chance Corey with that kind of decision making...LOL Scott Verplank was also in the playoff but we all knew he would not get it done and the only thing I remember about him was his Brooks Brother polo shirt. My thoughts immediately went from can he win to why does he not dress better with Brooks Brothers behind him...LOL


FRAUD OF THE WEEK - Another FRAUD that I hate to say because he is an Euro golfer and I somewhat like his style. Justin Rose. Had the lead headed into Sunday and was playing lights out just, had to play a solid round of golf and bring home the W but no. Sleeping on that lead is tough for the 20 something players. The 20 somethings are ready to kick him out anyway with his 30th birthday coming up. His performance Sunday was certainly that of a 30+ golfer....LOL
The runner up for FRAUD OF THE WEEK is Ai Miyazato she was suppose to be #1 in the world on LPGA tour and she did nothing in a major championship. She has entourage (chef, personal photographer, her own media coverage, etc) and had an opportunity to build on some serious momentum but a choke sandwich in a Major Championship. Thanks Ai for letting Cristie Kerr be the new #1 player in the world. Cristie played well but Ai played awful....
