Winning: Real Man Style
OK, The Masters is over, so it was an off week in golf. Few people probably watched the Verizon Heritage tournament and saw golfer Brian Gay win with a 20 under par to break the tourney record and beat his nearest opponent by 10 strokes. With this win, he assures himself an invitation to next year's Masters. Way to go, Brian!
Honestly, until yesterday, I had never heard of Brian Gay. I probably would not have even seen this event, but I was looking for something to take my Sunday afternoon nap to, and nothing lulls you to sleep like golf on television (except the peaceful hum of NASCAR). None of the big names were there for the tournament, so many will say Brian really didn't accomplish that much, but there were 3 people of great importance who watched closely as he putted in on the 18th green to cement the win.
After that final putt dropped in the hole, Brian's family ran to join him on the course. He scooped up one daughter in his arms and held the hand of the other. As he was being interviewed, he held his family close and shared this big moment with them. His daughters obviously knew their daddy's arms were a safe place even in that public spotlight, and this man seemed as comfortable with his child in his hands as he had been with the club a few minutes earlier.
My congratulations to Brian Gay. You've done well. (And you're a pretty good golfer, too.)
