Travelers Championship Update...

First let's celebrate Ken Duke's achievement. 44 years old and first win on the PGA TOUR. Hats off, err visors off. Ditto to Chris Stroud for holing out on 18 to force the playoff. Now on to some Bubba and Hunter hating. I said it on Thursday when I sent out the picks. Underachieving is their specialty. How many of you are loving those stellar weekend finishes? Bubba (70-70), Hunter (70-73). I know they firmed up the course this year and scores weren't nearly as low but come on!

I try not to hate but why do you think Bubba has lived in 3 new towns in 3 years? If you fit in and people like you and vice versa, you don't move 3 times in 3 years. You heard it on the broadcast on Saturday, even CBS guys had a hard time covering up for him. WASTED TALENT. There is nothing I despise more in pro sports. Maybe I shouldn't care because he's not on my team, he's just wasting his own talent. Feel free to chime in below with your thoughts...

Last comment, how about those red umbrellas? Great on-course branding!

  1. Wow...we can't hate on Tiger (who clearly is a great person and has overachieved for the past 5 years), but now we're hatin on the Bubba Button-Up? Maybe he's moved so much because in the last 3 years his income has exploded exponentially? The reason why is grown? He won the freaking Masters!

  2. Yeah, he won the Masters after leading or being in top 5 for every major the year prior. Then what? Nothing because he's complacent and doesn't care...

  3. Why is it that you equate desire with results? It's a non sequitur about golf. Those with the most desire and effort don't always win. Look at me: I love the game and suck! Bubba's performance this year shouldn't be an indictment of him as a person. Don't be a hater.

  4. Bubba clearly doesn't care....he didn't break down sobbing in tears when he won.
