Golf after “The Hydrant” proved
over the weekend it can stand on its
own.
Sunday the Europeans won a tense
struggle over the Asians in Thailand.
An Aussie reminded us of his remarkable composure in Hawaii.
And a South African captured his
continent’s Open championship in
his native land while impala and the
guinea fowl looked on from outside
the ropes.
One day earlier four American
amateurs — two men and two women
— outplayed four Argentine amateurs in Buenos Aires to win a 11-
team, 72-hole event called the Copa
de las Americas. One of the U.S.
women, Jennifer Song, has Korean
blood in her veins. The father of her
teammate, Jessica Korda, was once
a world-ranked tennis player for
Czechoslovakia.
No Tiger. No Phil. No Padraig.
Not even Sergio. At least not yet. Just
a lot compelling stuff on breathtaking venues all over the globe on
the first full weekend of the second
decade of the 21st century.
Don’t stay away too long, guys.
Geoff Ogilvy (left) is a serious player
who hits the ball forever off the tee,
doesn’t scare easily, and has the
touch of a diamond cutter around
the greens.
