In a world with so many challenges - sports and entertainment can provide an outlet to momentarily pause reality. Although most do not understand how folks can watch "GOLF" on tv, that's ok - you have your own outlet to pause reality
Sergio is no longer one of the up and coming young guns - but watching him all these years, finally breaking through with his 1st major - was indeed a joy!
Tomorrow (Monday) will be back to reality.....but then it will ONLY be 4 days until TGIF and a full moon!!!!!!!!!!!
I was glad to see him win. And I was just waiting for sixty minutes to come on.
It's great to get Salisbury on the front page again.
Watched him win and so glad he finally won a big one. It's been a long time coming.
Long overdue. Should have happened 15 years ago. He's a magician on the course. I think he pressured himself too much. Plus off the course was a "bad boy". He's finally mature & settled. Hope it's not too late for him to become one of the greats. Because, I believe he is.
