Just in case you missed this one, long-hitting Bubba Watson finished the Chrysler Classic of Tucson last week without making a single bogey. While he may be the longest hitter on TOUR, he has touch, too. He got it up and down 11 out of 11 times when he missed a green last week. • Only six players have finished among the top 30 money winners in each of the last five seasons -- Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, David Toms, Davis Love III, Kenny Perry and Chris DiMarco. • David Branshaw and Charley Hoffman both graduated to the PGA TOUR this year from the Nationwide Tour. Each enjoyed his first career top-10 finish last week in Tucson. Branshaw finished in solo sixth while Hoffman earned a tie for ninth. Two-time TOUR winner Gabriel Hjertstedt enjoyed his first top-10 since he tied for fourth at the 2001 Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic. • Jason Gore looks like he’s regained his form after tying for seventh last week in Tucson with four consecutive rounds in the 60s. • Tiger Woods has won in 11 different states on TOUR. He has 10 wins in California and eight in Florida in his career. • Here’s a good gauge of how international golf is these days -- there are 10 countries represented among the top 20 players on the Official World Golf Ranking. |
