Teeing Off

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

Stricker up one

August
26

Steve Stricker just knocked in his short birdie putt on No. 17 to regain the lead by himself at 15-under par. He now heads to the 18th hole with a one-shot lead over playing partner K.J. Choi.

Ahead of him, Ernie Els managed to make birdie, but The Big O, Geoff Ogilvy could only make par. That means Els, Ogilvy and Mark Calcavecchia currently share the clubhouse lead at 12-under.

That’s only going to last for another few minutes, however, unless Stricker and Choi do their best impressions of Jean Van de Velde at Carnoustie in 1999.

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.
