You Haas to be Kidding Me
The shot was absolutely thrilling. Even Hunter Mahan himself, suspected that he could tie a gaudy bow around his $10 million present. But, Bill Haas perfectly performed CPR on his ball, and his chances of winning the FedEx Cup Championship. One hole later, a simple, vanilla par sealed his biggest career victory and payday.
The dramatic finish was a bit uncharacteristic for the PGA Tour’s “Playoffs”. But, here we are a day later with our jaws still stuck to the ground. We’ll see if next year continues to pick up momentum.
As for 2011, golf has two attention-grabbing events left. First, Tiger Woods’ unusual appearance at the Frys.com Open on the West Coast. Everybody wants to see what an extended, HEALTHY layoff does for the former World No. 1 who continues to plummet down the charts. Will he make the cut? Secure a Top-5 finish? Win the damn thing? Crash his golf cart into a fire hydrant during a practice round? These questions and more will be answered.
Secondly, the sport’s ultimate tease: The President’s Cup. Will it end in a tie again? The Aussies could simply gang up on the Americans all by themselves and win handily. But, more on this to come. I’ll have a full breakdown in the coming weeks. See you then.
