Weeksy Awards, Part 1
This week, with golf news a little light after the end – finally – of Tiger’s Target, I’m going to list off the Weeksy Awards for 2006. Today I’ll focus on the PGA Tour, including the Majors.
Biggest Moment in a Major: Phil Mickelson’s disaster at the U.S. Open. Absolutely stunning. I was standing behind the clubhouse interviewing players as they came off the 18 th and I noticed Amy and the three kids, all neatly dressed, walking out obviously in preparation of an 18 th hole celebration. A few moments later, Amy was quickly hustling the kids back towards the player/family tent. Oops.
Most Surprising Win: Either the backhanded Chris Couch in New Orleans or J.B. Holmes at the FBR Open. Anyone who had either of these two guys in the pool step forward.
Most Impressive Win: No question here. Stephen Ames at the Players. Second place to Tiger at the British.
Biggest Comeback: Either Steve Stricker or John Daly’s fourth wife.
Best Player with a Waist Size under 28: Camillo Villegas. And am I the only one who thinks that funny thing he does to line up his putts looks like a curling delivery?
Most Impressive Winner’s Speech: Jim Furyk, for announcing that he’ll come back to play in the 2007 Canadian Open.
What Ever Happened To?: Jason Gore, Chris Riley, Steve Elkington, Todd Hamilton or Craig Perks.
See I Told You I Was More Than A One-Win Wonder: Ben Curtis, who won twice in 2006.
Over-Rated (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap): Charles Howell III.
Most Disappointing Year: Ernie Els, who at least won the South African Open.

I just need to have only 240 guys make money on the PGA tour and I make 14 points with Perks. That alone should create a new rule called the Craig Perks Rule: A player must play in at least 1 PGA Tour event to earn any points in the FPGP. If that player does NOT play in a single PGA Tour event, no points are awarded.
