Tampa Bay Championship: Kevin Streelman



Kevin Streelman’s victory is a great example of perseverance. After shooting an average first round (73) he fired back with three solid rounds. The task of winning would not come easy with players like Boo Weekley who shot 63 on Sunday. He also had a few veteran winners closely chasing his lead (Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Pat Perez), but failed to get the job done during the final round. 

What’s next: This is Streelman’s first victory on tour since turning pro back in 2001 another great example of perseverance.  We’ve seen sparks of greatness from Streelman but he’s lacked the necessary tools to get the job done. That possibly being confidence but now after defeating a fairly stacked field this should definitely be a confidence booster. Hopefully we’ll see a bit more of Streelman this year, most importantly in the winner’s circle.
