Buick Thoughts

Some thoughts on the finish that was the Buick Open:
- How the heck did Woody play so well at the President's Cup? I mean, OK...he didn't finish well at the Zurich Classic earlier this year. He had to make birdie to tie and didn't do it. This happens all the time. But my God, that was a complete meltdown on #17 & #18. 3 poor putts and a really poor 8 iron on #18. He essentially handed the tournament to K. Perry who made two bogies himself on the back nine coming in. More thanks to Dudley Hart also who played the last 6 holes in +2 or +3.
- Kenny HAS TO play the British Open instead of Milwaukee now. I haven't seen the latest Ryder Cup point list, but with the top 9 positions now on the team with Tiger out and Kenny with two wins, he is a lock. Milwaukee is now basically a Nationwide Tour event. You are top 20 in the world now and you just have to go to Birkdale. If he doesn't, I am going to have to sadly say he is being weak.
- I think Daniel Choke-ra just wrote his ticket off Captain Nick's Ryder Cup team. 75 on that track with a 2-shot lead on Sunday? The coverage came on with the leaders on #7 or so and Chopra had about 2 shots covered the entire telecast and it was likely only because he was playing with Bubba Watson, who almost got it done on Sunday.
- Perry said he was playing in events that suit his game. And with 2 wins and a couple other top 10's, you can't argue with his goals and his outcomes.
- Lucas Glover's 67 on Sunday has to be his low on Tour over the last 2 years. No one plays the back nine on Sunday in 40 like LG lately
- And finally...AT&T National at Congressional. Great track, but where are all the players? No Phil, No Ernie, No Adam Scott, No Sergio....wow. Oh, and no VJ or Sabbatini, but that's no surprise in Tiger's event.
