Colt Knost wins a pro event

[Shindig]

It looks like he hasn't forgotten how to win. His victory at this week's Fort Smith Classic, which includes two 65s, brings him to about $140K in earnings on the Nationwide Tour so far this year. Another good finish or two could well bring him to the PGA Tour next year.

And because someone's going to make the obligatory joke, I'll preempt and make it myself: too bad this victory doesn't get him a Masters invite!

Ive got him as a friend on Facebook! (seriously). In his profile, i never see him without his Titleist staff baseball cap on, even when hes dancing!

It never occurred to me to look for pros on facebook. I figured it would be like celebrities on MySpace, where there are a ton of fakes, but then again, FB looks for your .edu email, so the younger players could well be on there. Interesting.

Do you know him, or did you just add him and he has added back a ton of fans?

the Colt Knost that i have on Facebook is genuine- it is because he updates his pictures all the time and i know him through a network of golfing friends who play amateur golf at the highest level. Some of my friends play golf in low level professional tournaments as theyve now 'graduated' to the higher level.

I would say that he is not that popular amongst his peers, although the ladies, evidently from his pictures, find it hard to stay away from the man. He is a good golfer but that is about it sadly. However, i still like to look at his profile to see what he is doing and to check out his shenanigans on a regular basis. As ive already said, his trademark is his baseball cap- he even wears it in nightclubs!

Colt Knost is going to win on the PGA Tour when he gets there. Regardless of what some people may think of him (I personally question any U.S. Amateur Champ turning pro and skipping the majors), he is talented and knows how to win under pressure. I fully expect him to end up in the top 5 or 10 in Nationwide earnings this year, and then we will see what he can do next year on the PGA Tour.
