Did Sergio Win the Players or Goydos Lose It?
Friday, May 16th, 2008I happen to be in the camp that Garcia won the thing. No, really, he did. He had an abnormally good week of putting, fairways, and GIRs. Still Furman Bisher disagrees:
I was out of town at another golf event, watching Paul Goydos almost win The Players Championship. He has a better handicap than Hiaasen, and he doesn’t go around writing books about it. I mention Goydos over Sergio Garcia because Sergio won about the way Ernie Els won a tournament awhile ago. Neither won it, somebody else lost it, in the case of the TPC, Goydos. Good-natured, humorous and just recovering his game, as is Hiaasen.
Did Goydos lose it because he is all of the qualities Furman described? Is he referring to Els’ victory at PGA National in the Honda event? I just don’t see it.
Do you think Paul Goydos lost the Players – basically choked?
