Clutch Cargo

Golf Online recently ranked the Top 17 most "clutch" golfers. To spare you the time of scrolling through their boilerplate and ads, I'll summarize:





(G.I. Joe's "Clutch" was himself quite clutch, ed.)

17) Justin Leonard - "The Man With Two First Names"
15-T) Fred Funk - "I Got Nothin'"
15-T) Geoff Ogilvy - "BAMF"
14) Retief Goosen - "Was He Maverick's RIO?"
13) K.J. Choi - "Not to D.A. Points or Chan Ho Park, but Possibly a Genetic Combination of the Two..."
11-T) Stewart Cink - "The Rice Cake of Pro Golfers"
11-T) Padraig Harrington - "Joey's Infinitely More Clutch Cousin"
10) Sergio Garcia - "Mrs. Paul Casey"
9) Chad Campbell - "The Moonfaced Kid"





8) Bart Bryant - "Saddam Hussein"









6-T) Adam Scott - "The Burberry Boy"
6-T) Ernie Els - "APARTHEID FOREVER!"
5) Jim Furyk - "Easy With the Listerine"
4) Stuart Appleby - "..."
3) Phil Mickelson - "F.I.G.J.A.M."
2) Vijay Singh - "Dot Not Feather"
1) Tiger Woods - "White Bread Toast With Cocoa Butter"

The rankings were based on some loose categories involving come from behind wins, and wins while leading late. Points were deducted for blowing leads. Keep these guys in mind as the draft approaches.

Also note that CNNsi is reporting that Aaron Oberholser may have a bulging disk in his back and will undergo surgery. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, which might take him out of Accenture Match Play as well. Rampant rumor-mongering on my part suggests it could affect his swing all season, but then again, I'm no DOCTORB. ("The 'B' is for bargain!").
