Love Breaks The Season Trend

Hello. Throughout the year PGA Tour events have been won by one of three types of players:

1. The Elite - Woods, Furyk and Mickelson headline this list. Geoff Ogilvy is included now that he's won the US Open.
2. The struggling veteran - Ben Curtis, Jeff Maggart, Tim Herron, Corey Pavin
3. The newcomers - Eric Axley, JJ Henry, DJ Trahan, Dean Wilson, Chris Couch

Now Davis Love has won in Greensboro, adding a fourth category

4. Guys who should be winning more often than they are given their world rankings.

Love had every chance to make the Ryder Cup team, and failed. It says a lot about how weak the US team was that people thought Love should be a shoe-in. He hadn't won a PGA event in over 3 years. Prior to the PGA, he hadn't done anything in 2006 to show any signs of a breakout. And now he's a Tour winner heading for Hawaii.

Will anyone care that his only win was in a 'lesser' event? Probably not. Yet this win could reignite Love's career. Just one more reason players in category 4. above should be trying to play in as many of these events from now until the end of the year. Get your games back. Get a win. Finish the season on a high note.

Regards.

Steve
