FedEx points 251 ranked 129th.

Finished top 25 3 times this season, 7 out of 13 cuts made.

World ranking 51st.

2008 wasn't much better either compared to 2007 when he was 6th in the world rankings.

Quite a fall from grace? Just playing average golf for the tour. He was on fire during 2007.

You want to know why he is no longer in focus on the media or why he is not playing as good as he did in 2007?

No, just starting a dialogue on why his name has been missing off the leader boards.

He's streaky. When he's hot, he's very, very hot. When he ain't, he ain't.
A T10 finish in the AT&T; today says he may be heading into another hot one.

When he won the European OOM, he did it with just a few tournaments in the year.

Not to make excuses for him but I believe that he has suffered with a bad back in the past. If that's true - it's a tough game with that problem.

Yeah, in the beginning of the '08 season I was predicting he'd finish his season no worse than 5th in the world. Boy was I wrong. Dunno, he's still young, things will probably turn around.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
