Who says golf isn’t entertaining? A game of intellect, strategy and concentration, golf affords the general public an opportunity to witness some of the world’s greatest athletes in action. This weekend the Barclays, a leg of the PGA, or Professional Golfers Association Tour, proved to be no different than so many others this summer.
Saturday evening, finishing the third round of the Barclays, Tiger Woods closed the gap for the lead to 5 shots, playing a -4 for the day and sitting at a -4 for the tournament. By the time he completed the 15th hole, Tiger was once again on the prowl, pulling to within two shots of the lead at -7.
The first round of the FedEx Cup, a leg of the PGA Tour came down to the 18th hole. The Barclays golf tournament, part of the FedEx Cup, is played at the Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, New Jersey. Residents of this city are given a real treat every year in being able to attend this tournament. Consider moving to New Jersey to partake in this distinguished tournament where Ellis Island, home of the Statue of Liberty, serves as a magnificent backdrop. This was truly a match of suspense.
The Barclays were infused with suspense. The final round began with Steve Marino and Paul Goydos sharing the lead at -9. But as with any major tournament, if Woods is within striking distance in the final round, the leaders sense this - and choke. And as usual, opportunity after opportunity presented itself for Tiger to pounce. But the story of the tournament was his putting. He simply could not pull it together. However, Steve Stricker and Heath Slocum took advantage and seized the lead, walking into the 18th hole, both at -9.
Tiger made things interesting, closing in even more by making birdie on 16. The on-lookers had never been as silent as when he stepped up for his birdie putt on 18. Releasing his stroke, the crowd, the announcers, even Woods thought this putt was going in. But it just grazed the edge of the hole and rolled about 4 feet to the other side. Disappointment. Disbelief. Woods couldn’t understand how he missed that putt. Tiger just doesn’t miss putts from that distance with the match on the line.
Meanwhile, both Stricker and Slocum shot into the bunker on their first swing on 18. The match wasn’t over yet. But Slocum simply had luck on his side. Entering this tournament ranked 124th, making the cut by the skin of his teeth, Slocum managed to make one of the biggest jumps in this tournament, winning outright by saving par making a 20-foot putt with a final score of -9 shooting a 67. Stricker bogeyed on 18, finishing at -8, tied for second with Woods, Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington.
Congrats to Slocum, but Tiger remains ranked number 1and will shoot for his sixth win of the tournament next weekend, with the field narrowed to the top 100 in the Deutsche Bank Championship beginning September 4th in Norton, Massachusetts.
