Another Big Name Blows It
Hello. Congratulations to Steve Lowery for winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Classic. Lowery beat Vijay Singh for his 3rd career victory, and his first since 2000. All 3 of Lowery's victories have been in playoffs.
Singh should've won this in a walk. He made 3 bogies on the back nine to open the door.
Singh joins Justin Leonard and Phil Mickleson as "big names" who recently lost leads and let "little names" win.
What is wrong with these guys? I think they're so used to having the world by the tail, making gazillions of dollars, hearing how good they are, that they are lulled into a false sense of security. When they do get into the pressure cooker, they're the favourites, which adds more pressure. Then the fall is much steeper.
What has become evident is the gap between Tiger and the "big names" is larger than the "big names" gap from the "small names".
Also apparent is when a Steve Lowery gets in the hunt, and is highly motivated to win, he can take out a Vijay Singh. And that's worth congratulating.
Regards,
Steve
