Congratulations to Kim Welch as she just won The Alliance Bank Golf Classic (Syracuse, NY) with rounds of 70-64-70. I guess the pressure from hiding her Big Break secret was gone and she cleaned up in Syracuse. Nice job, Kim!
If Greg Norman can’t win the British Open on my birthday then I’ll gladly take a victory by Kim.
First prize cashola was a cool twelve grand (oops, check that, I was six hundies short). Hope she hired an accountant. I’m dying to know if she kept or sold the Beemer.
If you were looking for another hint as to who won the Big Break Ka’anapali, it was right there in front of all of us. I should’ve just looked to see who was playing the most Futures Tour events. Entry fees were covered by The Golf Channel to the Big Break Champ. Duhh!
How are the other Big Breakers doing on the Futures Tour – check ‘em out -

Tiger’s shot on 13 ultimately did him in
Woods pulled off a miraculous shot at 13 which gave him the confidence to try what would have been an even more miraculous shot at 15, a slice 5 iron from 228 yards. The shot on 15 turn out to be ill advised. He did save par but in reality a par on 15 is a bogey especially when you are 3 behind at the time.
2007 Masters: A complete bore
Besides the lousy announcers (Faldo excluded), the 2007 Masters was a complete bore. Sure there was a little intrigue with Tiger trying to fight his troubled swing and come from three behind, but Masters tournament organizers had made the course so tough that the back nine on Sunday (typically the most exciting 9 holes of golf) was devoid of excitement. Where were the slew of birdies and eagles that allowed competitors to make a final 9 charge?
Granted Woods did have a back nine eagle and then completely blew it on 15 going for another, there were no other notable fireworks. Perhaps Masters tournament geniuses will figure it out next year and bring back the opportunity for the most exciting nine holes in golf.
