PALISADES Neighborhood News Reporter Hits Delivery Deadline Alphabet Streets Alphabet Streets Security Sue Kohl and Lou Kamer, Pacific Palisades Community Coun- cil representatives and Alphabet Streets residents, are taking the ¢ lead in establishing professional security for the area in the wake of a spate of car robberies and burglaries. The plan is to create a permanent fund, starting at $57 per month per household (less if more than 100 households join), to employ off-duty police officers. They would patrol the area in plain clothes, eight hours per night, seven days per week, to supplement LAPD officers. The first Alphabet Streets security meeting will be held at the Pacific Palisades Woman’s Club, date to be confirmed.

Getting Swept Away in the Season for Dancing Photos by Rich Schmitt/Staff Photographer

There was grace, rhythm and giggling at the Father-Daughter dance at Corpus Christi School on Feb. 9—a joyous ruckus only matched by the Pal- isades Charter Elementary School Mother-Son dance that was held at the Pacific Palisades Woman’s Club the next evening. Palisadian-Post SportThursday, February 22, 2018 s Page 7 Back on Course Bubba Watson Fires Final-Round 69 for Two-Shot Victory, His Third in Five Years at Riviera

By STEVE GALLUZZO Sports Editor

n the two years since he last hoisted the winner’s trophy at Riviera Country Club, Bubba Watson admitted he contemplated retirement on several occasions, only to be talked out of it by his wife Angie. I All thoughts of trading in his clubs for a rocking chair melted in the bright sun last Sunday afternoon after the 39-year-old rebounded from three bogeys on the front nine to post a final-round 69 and capture the Genesis Open—his first PGA Tour title since winning the same tournament (then called the Northern Trust Open) in 2016. “I was close to retiring but my wife basically told me to quit whining and play golf. She’s a lot tougher than I am. I get a paper cut and I’m out for a week. I would rather be healthy than play golf, so that’s what I was focusing on. I was focusing on the wrong things. Pitiful me, not how beautiful my life was.” Watson entered the week No. 117 in the World Golf Rankings after his worst season in the FedEx Cup era, but he couldn’t have picked a better place to regain his championship form than the venue that seems tailor-made for his uncanny shot-shaping ability. “It was the lowest point I’ve ever been at in the game,” he said. “I was starting to wonder if I’d ever win again.” Now, he’s back on a high after jumping 76 spots to No. 41 (making him eligible for the upcoming World Golf Championship in Mexico), earning 500 FedEx Cup points and pocketing the $1,296,00 first-place check. Watson carved and sliced his way around, over and through Riv- iera’s signature eucalyptus trees to finish two shots ahead of Kevin Na and Tony Finau at 12 under par. With his 10th PGA Tour victory he also joined Hall of Famers Lloyd Mangrum and Ben Hogan as the only three-time winners at Riviera. Hogan won back-to-back LA Opens here in 1947-48 as well as the 1948 U.S. Open (also played at Riviera), earning the course off Capri Drive the nickname “Hogan’s Alley.” Mangrum won three LA Opens at Riviera (1949, 1951 and 1953) and a fourth at Rancho Park. The only other four-time LA Open champion is MacDonald Smith, who won his on four different courses, including Riviera in 1929. Arnold Palmer won the tournament three times in the 1960s, all at Rancho Park. Watson clinched his win with an eight-foot par putt on the 72nd hole to hold off playing partners Patrick Cantlay and Cameron Smith, Ryan Bubba Watson joins Hall of Famers Lloyd Mangrum and Ben Hogan Moore and two-time winner Phil Mickelson, who pulled within one shot. Defending champion and No. 1-ranked Dustin Johnson finished in a as the only three-time winners at Riviera.

Much of the pre-tournament hype centered around the return of Tiger Woods, who was playing the event for the first time since 2006. A 14-time major winner and former world No. 1, Woods wanted to play Riviera last year but skipped it to recover from back spasms suffered at the Dubai Desert Classic. Fans lined the fairways at every hole to watch Woods, who shot 1-over Thursday but missed the cut after a 5-over 76 Friday—only the 25th time he’s failed to make the cut since turning pro in 1996. “I missed every tee shot left and I did not putt well, didn’t feel Kevin Na blasts out of a bunker during the final round of the Genesis very good on the greens,” Woods Open at Riviera.

By STEVE GALLUZZO Sports Editor

acing the reality that every game could be their last, Palisades High boys basketball players relished the underdog role in their City Sec- Ftion Division I playoff opener at Dorsey. Determined not to let their season end, the Dolphins played as hard and as well as they have all season and got the reward they sought: a chance to keep playing. Captain Nick Kerkorian led the way, netting a season-high 25 points and knocking down seven three-pointers in a 70-63 over the host Dons. “My teammates did a great job getting me the ball,” Kerkorian said. “We’re playing for our seniors. We know we’re the underdogs. Nobody is picking us, but we’re moving on.” Guard Anthony Spencer made 10 of 12 free throws and finished with 16 points, Will Janney had 11 points, six rebounds and four assists, Graham Alphson had eight points, nine rebounds and three blocks, Cole Jacobs contributed six points and Avi Massaband added four points for the ninth-seeded Dolphins, who raced to an early 10-point lead and answered every run Dorsey made. Kerkorian said head coach Donzell Hayes devised the perfect strat- egy to disrupt the Dons’ flow on offense. “Once we saw what they were doing it was exactly what coach said,” Kerkorian added. “In the zone offense their guy flashes to the weak side every time and we just had to be ready. For us, it was about movement. Everyone was getting open and we were hitting our shots.” Dorsey, which finished fourth in the Coliseum League, scored nine straight points at the end of the third quarter to close within five, but Cole Jacobs swished a three-pointer from the corner to spark a 7-2 run. “When you’re 8-18 you gotta forget,” said Janney, an All-City safety in football who relished the chance for revenge against Dorsey, the Will Bucksbaum struck out seven Taft batters in the Dolphins’ 2-1 team that eliminated Palisades from the playoffs in the fall. “This is Poly Tournament victory last Saturday.
