The ominous weather that has threatened the Travelers Championship all week never had a major impact. Until today.
The schedule for the final round was changed, due to the afternoon forecast. Tee times began at 7:30 a.m, with the guys starting on the 1st and 10th holes and playing in groups of three.
Well, it's noon right now in CT and the thunder is agressively rolling in the background. The sky is black and the first raindrops are falling. And the men at the top of the leaderboard are about half way through.
At this moment Stewart Cink in back on top, followed by defending champion Hunter Mahan. Tommy Amour, Heath Slocum and Vijay Singh round out the top five. That, of course, is subject to change...at any given moment.
Chris DiMarco is up there in the top ten as well, which is good to see. I took this photo of him on Friday as he got ready to tee off on one.
Well, I just saw a lightning flash down here in Danbury, so I'm thinking a delay might be inevitable. I'll keep you posted.
Update: After a brief rain delay towards the end, Alabama boy, Stewart Cink, wins it...much to the satisfaction of some of my readers!

Chris DiMarco. I always liked that guy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Chris on his first top ten of the season. Be great to see him up there again.
ReplyDeleteWoot, Cinks wins; a good ole Alabama boy. By the way, this is constantreader on Twitter. :-) and from http://colormehuntsville.com and http://alabamaimproper.com
ReplyDeleteI was glad to see Cink win, even though he made an adventurous par on the last. He's one of those guys you would expect to win more but has had trouble with closing.
ReplyDeleteWithout Tiger, golf just isn't the same :-(
ReplyDeleteCink was born in Huntsville, but played his college golf at Georgia Tech and now lives in Duluth, GA - so he's a Georgia boy now ! :-)
ReplyDeleteHe does have one of the greatest charity tournaments every year in Florence, AL. PGA players and a ton of celebrities make the trip and raise huge amounts for charity.
SO - GG - which golf Crocs did you bring home from the tournament ? :-)
Thanks for the link GG. And yeah, we still like Georgia too, seeing as how my Gent is from Georgia. :-)
