Flesch Hangs On

Hello. Congrats to Steve (love your first name) Flesch for winning the PGA stop yesterday. In spite of an indifferent final round, Flesch cashs in with his second victory of the year.
There was some talk yesterday about including Flesch into the Masters field because he has two wins. While a win is a win, and more guys like Mike Weir should be doing everything in their power to win, I don't think Flesch belongs. His victories have occurred when the top players have been out of the field. He is not high enough on the money list (in spite of two wins) to crack that barrier. That may indicate how he's played the rest of the year.
In a way Flesch reminds me of Ben Curtis, who won twice last year, yet wasn't even on the Ryder Cup radar. Needless to say, it's tough to defend Curtis or Flesch as upper echelon players.
Is this unfair? Maybe. But let's just say consistency should be rewarded. If Flesch continues to play this year, and make money, and increase in the World Rankings, then he should be able to earn his way to Augusta.

Regards,
Steve
