About the author

Tom Edrington

Tom Edrington spent the first 10 years of his misguided youth as a sports writer for the Tampa Tribune. His career brought him face to face with many of sports greatest stars -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Don Shula, countless Hall of Fame NFL stars, more PGA Tour players than he can count. In 1980 he was honored by the Golf Writers Association of America for writing the best news story that year, his coverage of Jack Nicklaus' U.S. Open victory at Baltusrol. Today, 36 years later, golf is still a great part of his life, thanks to competitive playing days and the wonderful people he has met on this fabulous journey.

    A lot to like in the finish in Houston.

    Poulter’s gutsy comeback from, Yes, you are playing in the Masters, to No, you need to win to play in the Masters, to a bad round that had him literally packing his bags, then to making a clutch putt when it seemed he was all but dead, and then prevailing in the playoff. Talk about an emotional cyclone.

    I think Hossler will be back, and may be around as a force for a long while. After he bladed that sand shot into the water, he knew it was over. But no histrionics or petulance, he gathered himself and professionally went about his business to finish his round. A lesson to many of us. I know it will make me more conscious of trying not to let one rotten, frustrating shot turn into two or more bad shots. Well done by both players

    Nice to see Spieth end on a good note, hopefully boding well for a strong Masters. If only Spring would come to the Northeast!

      Good observations, RM. Yes, we are going to see a lot of young Beau, he’s got game. So looking forward to this week’s Masters, sure hope the rain stays away.
