Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

I’m officially fried

June
17

It’s the toughest major of the year for a reason, and not only for the players.

I don’t think I have a coherent thought left in my head (which isn’t much of a tragedy when you don’t have many to begin with).

Anyway, it was an impressive showing by Angel Cabrera, and yet the bigger story was invariably Tiger Woods not laying the hammer on everyone else when he seemed poised to do so. I suppose all the rumors of him being human might be true after all.

As for Jim Furyk and his brain cramp on 17, he was adamant that driver was the right play given how he had played the hole all week.

“The play I made was the play,â€? Furyk said. “Now if I went back, I wouldn’t hit left of the green for damn sure. But it was the play. I would stick by that play through and through with the way the wind conditions were and the pin position was. In my mind, I made the right decision.â€?

Of course, one man’s mistake is another man’s triumph, and I’m not even talking about Angel Cabrera: There is no playoff, meaning I’m going home to my wife and son tomorrow.

Alex MyersAlex Myers
A sports reporter at The Journal News for nearly three years, Alex Myers has covered a bit of everything, but a lot of golf, ranging from the high school level to last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot. His golf writing goes back to his college days when he attended Wake Forest University. Myers is also an avid player who is constantly trying to improve on his current handicap of 8. Perhaps his biggest thrill came earlier this summer when he conquered the famed 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass by hitting a 9-iron onto the island green and walking away with a 2-putt par.
