Greenbrier Classic Post Mortem

A wonderful week for The Greenbrier Classic. It started with Erik Compton in the lead, and ended with Stuart Appleby's 59 to clinch the tournament win by a shot. Can anyone really complain when scores are in the mid/low 60s, with one 59? Let the pros shoot -68, I prefer the birdie-fest to the monotonous finishes at other tournaments (US Open).

Wonderful win for Appleby, he's one of the true nice guys on Tour, and easily one of the most resilient (possibly #2, behind Compton).

It was embarrassing to watch Jeff Overton repeatedly tamp down spike marks on Sunday, in addition to repeated club drops on his follow-through, cursing, and his visor toss, which brought back George Welsh memories. He needs a major demeanor adjustment.

Charles Howell III played a bogey free tournament, his reward? T9. Crazy.
