The 2012 PGA Tour season is shaping up to be both competitive and wide open. Tiger Woods's game is rounding into form (or did he just experience three good weeks of golf?), Luke Donald is a Top Ten machine, and Rory McIlroy has the talent to cruise to tournament wins, evidenced by his victory at the 2011 US Open.
Aside from the headlines, two golfers I'd like to see win post haste are Erik Compton and JB Holmes.
Compton's story is nothing short of a miracle. A professional golfer, on the PGA Tour, on his third heart. A PGA victory would be the golf story of the year.
To quote from JB Holmes' website, "JB had a successful brain decompression surgery on September 1 at Johns Hopkins for chiari malformation. JB has been released and is back home starting his recovery process. His plans are to start chipping and putting in a month, full swings in two months and return to competition in 3 months. JB is looking forward to a full recovery and returning to the tour in 2012. JB is very appreciative of all the emails, thoughts and prayers during this time."
There is no such thing as minor surgery, let alone brain surgery. He deserves all the best in health and a speedy return to the upper echelon of competitive golf.
