Excellent Win for Watney

Excellent Win for Watney

Nick Watney won the Buick Invitational with birdies on two of the last three holes, including a ridiculous 40 footer on sixteen. With his great play down the stretch combined with a few too many errors by Camillo Villegas (my pick to win) and John Rollins, he won a cool $954,000.00. Why did I not practice more as a kid?

Watney has a great swing and showed a cool demeanor down the stretch. I think we will be seeing a lot of him in the future. Villegas is very exciting to watch, and sometimes I think his wild thrashes at the ball hurt him a little bit. He will learn to throttle it down a little and become more consistent. Look for Villegas to be in the hunt for the Fed Ex Cup this year.

The tour moves on to Pebble Beach next week. These guys really have a tough life!
