Zach Johnson & Johnson Every spring, we are reminded in Dallas-Fort Worth just how stinking lucky we are, sportswise. It's one thing to have four relatively successful major sports franchises.
It's another thing to have the ancilliary events like The Colonial and the Byron Nelson in Dallas. Just think, you could leave work right now, head on over to The Colonial and watch some of the greatest golfers in the world, right now. It's relatively easy. You might see Lebron James or Sidney Crosby once a year; and you might see Adam Scott, Jason Day, Jim Furyk or Angel Cabrera once a year. Fact is, in Dallas, you can.
Here's who to watch:
Zach Johnson
The defending champ and the 36th ranked player in the world. One top 10 finish in 2011, so far.
Matt Kuchar
The highest-ranked player at Colonial this weekend. He's having a stellar 2011 with six top 10 finishes.
Jim Furyk
A consummate professional. Love watched him play. Very understated for a guy who's won before.
Jason Day
Impressed the pants off everyone at the Masters. He's 23 and has five top 10 finishes so far.
Adam Scott
For a three-year period, Scott was my boy. Rooted for him as the potential next big thing. Then he flamed out. Did finish second at the Masters.
