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

After four days of intense golf, Wagner plans to watch some intense golf

Johnson Wagner was still smiling after his 75 in the final round today, and why not?

He was a week removed from his first PGA Tour win. He had just played four rounds in the Masters. And now he had a chance to watch one of his good friends, Brandt Snedeker, try to win his first major.

“I’ll probably just have a little lunch in the clubhouse followed by some intense viewing of the Masters tournament,” Wagner said when I asked how he’d spend his afternoon.

And where would he watch?

“Either I’ll go back to the RV and watch it with my family, or I’ll sit right up there and eat as many pimento cheese sandwiches as I can,” he said.

Apparently the golf fitness craze only goes so far.

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.
