The Honda Classic at Palm Beach Gardens

[Thrash13]

I'm not a Rory Sabbatini fan, but it sounds like his last six months to a year has been pretty rough at home.  The pregnancy problems his wife went through along with his skin cancer issue made this a pretty emotional victory.  He played awesome in the second and third round, and he did enough in the final round.  He may not be one of the most popular golfers on the PGA Tour, but I think his story surely touched a few fans this past weekend.  Hell, I was actually pretty happy for the guy, and I've said my fair share of negative things about him in the past.

if you had a bout with skin cancer you might wear a hat like that too.

His post shot banter with his caddy (sort of whiney) is a bit tiresome, but he seemed respectful of his playing partners on Sunday, and they seemed genuinely happy for him.

There are other ways to protect against skin cancer.  It's just an ugly hat.  Those things Martin Kaymer wears around his neck can be sun blockers too.

true.

let me say this however.  i had lymphoma.  one of the side effects of the chemo i got was a hypersensitivity to the sun.  i wore a big-ass hat for quite a while until those effects wore off.  now i wear an ugly-ass UV bucket hat to keep the sun off my head and neck.  youll make adjustments when more important things are at stake.

and like i said, anyone who "encourages" ben crane to speed up is good in my book.
