Boo Weekley was definitely in touch with a Higher Power today. He must have been in church all day on Sunday while the last round of the Heritage was postponed. He prayed for a miracle and hot-damn.....he got it. He was in deep caa-caa trying to protect a slim one-stroke lead when he chipped-in on each of the last two holes for PAR to hold off Big Ernie. To add further drama, Big Ernie almost holes out from about 150 in a high wind on the difficult 18th to eventually lose by only one shot. So....if Mr. Boo doesn't make either of his biblical chipshots, it's a playoff. More likely, he should have lost another close one. Remember when our boy Boo missed a 3-footer on the 72nd hole at the Honda about a month ago? The Golfing Gods get even in strange ways. Boo we are told, is now firmly on his way to greater heavenly victories. The talking heads on TV rave about his ball striking ability. Now that he has God on his side and he's off the schnide, he perhaps can live up to their potential. Look for his name at the top of the leaderboard for the next ten years. I just wish he would stop spitting on the greens.....it leaves brown residue and one can't tell which way is "down grain".Four of youse picked up some nice fantasy change by picking defending champion, Aaron Baddeley who finished T-10. Five more of us had the hometown favorite, DL, III who finished, "bad/good, bad/good" for a T-36.
Onward to 'Nawlins for some boiled crawfish and the Katrina Open. Fantasy record: 14 No-Shows this week. Go Glover!
