Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers
Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers THE WOODLANDS, TX – April 12, 2016 —The Insperity Invitational presented by UnitedHealthcare will be celebrating its 13th anniversary May 2-8 as the 2015 champion Ian Woosnam returns to compete against one of the strongest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. Woosnam has the opportunity to join Bernhard Langer as the only player in tournament history to successfully defend his title. Langer, who accomplished the feat by winning the 2007 and 2008 Insperity Invitational, will not be competing this year so he can attend his daughter’s college graduation. Joining Woosnam will be seven other past winners of Houston’s PGA TOUR Champions event—Larry Nelson (2004), Mark McNulty (2005), Jay Haas (2006), John Cook (2009), Brad Faxon (2011), Fred Funk (2012) and Esteban Toledo (2013). In addition, five World Golf Hall-of-Fame members are currently in the field: Tom Kite, Mark O’Meara, Curtis Strange, Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle. “The field for this year’s tournament will once again be a fantastic combination of golf’s legends, new PGA TOUR Champions members, Hall of Fame members and the best players in the world age 50 and over,” said Bryan Naugle, Executive Director of the Insperity Invitational. “We are excited with all aspects of the tournament both on and off the golf course. The fans in the Houston area are in for a real treat as this annual tradition continues.” There are eight categories of eligibility in the invitational format, making this event unique on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule.

Final Leaderboard Jerry Smith 66‐64‐70—200 (‐16) David Frost 66‐70‐68—203 (‐13) Wes Short, Jr. 70‐66‐68—204 (‐12) Woody Austin 67‐68‐70—205 (‐11) Bart Bryant 69‐66‐70—205 (‐11) Recap Champions Tour rookie Jerry Smith shook off a shaky start on Sunday and then holed a greenside bunker shot at the par‐5 16th hole for an eagle to separate himself from David Frost and win his first career title on the circuit. Smith started the day with a three‐stroke lead and eventually won by three thanks to a 4‐under 32 on the back nine. There were quite a few ups and downs during his Sunday round. Smith bogeyed three of his first five holes and found himself in a temporary tie for the lead at the turn. He moved back into the lead for good after a birdie at the par‐5 11th hole. Nursing a one‐stroke lead over Frost down the stretch, Smith hit his second shot into the bunker by the green at the par‐5 16th and then holed the shot for an eagle to increase his lead to three strokes.

Unfortunately, the narrator who was NOT the author delivered the narrative in a somewhat melodramatic way, which after the nth individual missed the cut by 1 shot. Other author's books: Benchwarmers. He has never made it to the PGA Tour. One putt too many Todd Demsey needed only to two-putt from 10 feet on the final hole in to earn his tour card. When he learned of his miscue, he sobbed uncontrollably. This book gives me perspective as I realize that they are normal people just like us, and have every day problems like everyone else. There are three stages at Q school. Morning Drive. Perhaps 2, can legitimately think about trying to make a living playing the game. Did you know you can save your preferences across all your digital devices and platforms simply by creating a profile? Mar 01, Jake Herdine rated it really liked it. There is also repetition as players backgrounds are repeated as we encounter them again at a later stage. Once, 50 players and ties received tour cards. This book is unbelievably relatable.

Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf
COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf Jeffrey Paadre This paper examines 10 years worth of PGA Tour Tournament data in order to examine whether or not clutch performance exists during the final round of a tournament. After controlling scores for differences in course difficulty, the paper finds no evidence of tangible clutch performance. The authors find that the perception of clutch performance is more likely attributable to talent differential between golfers. Assuming a normal distribution of golfer talent, it is possible that Tiger Woods can outshoot his opponents on the final day of a tournament as well as lose his lead to his competitors. Motivation and Literature In professional sports, heroes can be created through the concept of clutch performance. The perception of clutch performance occurs when an athlete raises his or her performance to an extraordinary level during the most important moments of a sporting event. Athletes such as David Ortiz and Adam Vinatieri have been immortalized as legends due to their consistent ability to help their teams win baseball and football games during important games where the outcome was hanging in the balance. Conversely Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood are amongst the unfortunate athletes burdened with reputations as choke artists based on their inability to perform well when their teams needed a high performance the most. One of the challenges that accompanies examining performance under pressure lies within trying to define which performances constitute clutch performance. For example, in 2005 John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, presented David Ortiz with a plaque inscribed “David Ortiz: The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox”.
