Hello Folks. This week’s PGA Tour event exhibited an exciting finish with yet another rookie winning their first PGA Tour title. This year’s Greenbrier Classic champion is Scott Stallings, Tennessee Tech alumni. With this victory Stallings jumped to 26th in FedEx Points Race, revealing that a win can have a dramatic change in the standings. Stallings certainly provided a roller coaster ride for the viewers, shooting a front nine 4-over 38, but Stallings soon reached the highest peak of his round, firing a back nine 5-under 31. Stallings bogeyed the 2nd to last hole, forcing the rookie to birdie the final hole. That was no problem for the up and coming star, striking a beautiful iron within feet of the pin, resulting in a birdie and a spot in a three way playoff which included Bill Haas and Bob Estes. The trio headed to the par 3 #18, in search of a much needed win. All three would hit the green in regulation, but Stallings was the only one who was able to convert and birdie the 18th hole, disclosing that tournaments are won with the short stick. The biggest disappointment this week was Anthony Kim’s performance during the final, after producing a errorless round on Saturday. Kim fired a 4-over 74, taking the young star out of contention. Hopefully Kim’s play is a sign of good to come since this guy is too talented, not to be winning multiple tournaments every year. On a side note it was great seeing Andres Romero back in contention, one of my favorite golfers. This week my fellow blogger JJ came out victorious since his pick was able to out play my pick. The current score is Bernardo (me) 11, JJ 10.
