Yea, I suppose Rory is ahead of pace with a small sample size.......when Scott got Steve Williams to carry his bag, Adam Scott found his nuts. Before then, Scott never showed a lick of fire. Now the dude wants to win........And if Jason Day ever learns how to win, he is going to be tough for everybody to get by at Augusta. I think he played as well and prob better than everybody this week
I thought Day played the best too, surprised he didn't close the door..I expect both Day and Scott to have mulitple major titles.. Rory is going to get his sooner then later.. Snedekar will get at least 1 too.. His putter was a problem on Sunday which was surprising.. I think the door is closing on Westwood and Donald doesn't have the stones to get it done..He's not even a threat in my mind..
You mentioning this mad me think of something that happened over 30 years ago. Ricboff will like this story. I was about 25 or 26 so it was either 1980 or 81 and I was working the summer for my step brother who was starting his first year as head pro at a club in Conn. I was working in the pro shop one afternoon when this guy and woman walk in. The guy was a big guy, well dressed, dark complexion. I could tell he was foreign. The woman spoke and said he wanted to play 9 holes. I said sure and before I could say anything else, he reached in his pocket and pulled out his money clip to show me which had his name on it. The name said Roberto DiVicenzo. I swear to God I almost blurted out, hey you're the guy who got DQ from the Masters years ago. Luckily I didn't and instead welcomed him and acknowledged that I knew who he was. The woman explained that they were on their way to Newport to play in a Senior event when they saw the golf course from the highway. My step brother was out playing and on the 18th green by now so the 2 of them went out and played 9 holes. Word got out and by the time they finished about 40 or 50 members had shown up to watch. DiVicenzo stay quite while afterwards and talked with everyone. He was a real nice guy and made it a point to stop by every year for next few years when playing in the Newport tournament to play 18 holes at our course.
by the way, for those who don't know the DQ of DiVicenzo was much different than what happened with Tiger. DiVicenzo made a birdie on 17th hole and his playing partner wrote down a 4. DiVicenzo did not notice the error and signed the card which resulted in the DQ. Just a dumb error cost him.
By the way, the golf course where DiVicenzo played is just 10-15 minutes from Foxwoods in Pawcatuck Ct. My step brother is still the head pro. Its a 27 hole course now and gets lots of play from people visiting Foxwoods. The course is Elm Ridge Golf Course and the head pro is Tom Jones. If you ever at Foxwoods and play golf, stop by and ask him about the DiVicenzo story. Pretty nice public course too...
Here's a Buick commercial I found with Tiger Woods. It's actually pretty good. But all I can think about when I see Tiger in a SUV is Elin coming up from behind and smashing his window out with a 9 iron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubAxWIfcE5I&feature=youtu.be
