Horses For Courses

Hello. Congrats to Sherri Steinhauer for winning the Women's British Open, and to Tiger Woods for winning his 50th title at the Buick Open.
What do these players have in common? After all, Tiger is only 30, and has just set the record for youngest ever to 50 wins. Steinhauer made this title win #7 in her career and at 43 will be hard pressed to get to 10 wins.
The answer is they have both won these titles before. For Steinhauer this is her 3rd Women's British Open, and 1st since it became a major. As for Tiger, it's his 2nd Buick Open, and he's never finished worse than 11th. Here are the other events he's won multiple times:

Mercedes (Kapalua Plantation)
Buick Invitational (Torrey Pines)
WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship (La Costa)
Doral
Bay Hill
Masters (Augusta)
Memorial (Muirfield Village)
US Open (Pebble Beach, Bethpage Black)
Western Open (Coghill)
British Open (twice at St Andrews, Liverpool)
Buick Open (Michigan)
PGA (Medinah, Valhalla)
WGC-NEC Invitational (Firestone)
Disney (Palm and Magnolia)
WGC-American Express Invitational

Quite a list huh? Do you think Tiger will be favoured at the PGA at Medinah, since he won there in 1999? Me too.
We all have courses we do well on. Tour pros are no different. When in doubt, look for someone who has done well at a course in the past to do well again.

Regards,
Steve
