Steve and Jack 

Hello everyone. This week the PGA Tour played out for an exciting finish at the  Memorial  Tournament, hosted by none other than the legend Jack Nicklaus. For those loyal golfers out there, you can understand the great feeling of observing a fellow golfer win after experiencing extreme low points in their career, as a golf professional. That was the story for Steve Stricker, Stricker has been back on the scene for a few years now, but once only relied on sponsor’s exemptions. Stricker was certainly firing on all cylinders this week, the only player in the field to produce four rounds in the 60s, including a hole-in-one during the 2nd round, on the par 3 #8. Stricker was tied for first in eagles, tied for third in driving accuracy, and tied for third in putts per round. Revealing that it was no surprise, that Stricker would come out a champion on Sunday. Stricker started his final round with a 3 shot lead and an impressive front nine 30, 6-under par for nine holes,  nearly perfect golf if not better. Clutch par saves on #12 from the bunker and mid-range putt on #16, displaying the great talent and urge to win his 10th professional title. Jack Nicklaus was there to greet Sticker on the 18th hole, memorable moment. Tied for 2nd was Matt Kuchar, also firing a hot front nine 31, Kuchar would produce a bogey free 65, allowing to obtain the T2. Brandt Jobe played well this week, searching for his first win on tour. Jobe  fired a final round 65 leaving him one shot behind Stricker. Overall this was a great event, with many great players like world #1 Luke Donald. 

Besides the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance, this was a sports filled weekend. Rafael Nadal, king of the clay, defeating Roger Federer in four sets, for his sixth French Open title. Mexico defeating El Salvador 5-0, in the first round of matches for the Gold Cup.
