What? GOLF NEWS?
I assume the majority of my 0 readers watched the Masters last weekend. Well, as I just found out, all 0 eyes in the golf world (which is sad, Tiger kinda ruined everything) were on the Maybank Malaysia Open. Seriously.
Anyway, renowned choke artist Rory McIlroy had the lead through the first three rounds. Sound familiar? Charl Shwartzel was nowhere to be found. The eventual winner, thanks to - you guessed it - a Sunday choke by Rory McIlroy, was Matteo Manassero.
Who? (Hey, we said that about Shwartzel, now didn't we.)
You may remember him (sike) from finishing ninth in the Accenture Match Play Championships, aka golf's March Madness. He's played in three PGA tournaments and has made one cut.
Oh yeah, and one more thing. HE'S SEVENTEEN. Scratch that. Today is his eighteenth birthday. So happy birthday, kid. You can officially start cashing checks for finishing in 67th place now. (Side note - is it legal for him to cash the $412,562 check for winning the tournament?)
(Other side note - how did the European Tour even afford to give out a $412,562 check to the winner? Are we the only country that has to make budget cuts?)
