These Guys Are Good
Lately, golfers around North America have been makin' it rain. Makin' it rain with their putters no doubt. Mark Calcavecchia made a PGA record 9 birdies in a row, turning in a 7-under 65 in the 3rd round of the RBC Canadian Open this past weekend. Nine birdies in a row is just ridiculous but it is becoming more common for players to perform at such a high level.
Also over the weekend, John Douma from Arizona, competing in the Health One Colorado Open at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in Denver, birdied holes 9-11 and 13-18. He carded one double on the 12th hole (not that hard of a hole and usually birdie-able) and finished the day with a 64. Despite his back-nine charge, he still fell short of Derek Tolan, a recent CU Buff grad and rookie professional, with an un-rookie like second win this summer.
Last week, I was lucky enough to play in the Pro-Am for the Colorado Open and made 9 birdies and no bogeys. I missed a 6-footer for the 10th one too! Although they were not consecutive, it was my lowest non-competitive score, a 63.
