Retief Goosen may have taken home over a million dollars on March 22, 2009 but the real golf was played on Thursday after the Transitions Championship. That is when the 2007 Egan Cup Champion tamed the famous Cooperhead Course at the Innisbrook Country Club. The pros call this the toughest course they play on tour but it was no match for the Egan Cup Champ.
He had a rough start with a double, triple and another double but then birdie the par 3 and he was on his way to an 89 score that was outstanding.
No wonder Soo Steve and London Tim have withdrawn from the 2009 Egan Cup. They know they can't beat him. I also suspect there will be a no show from Islander Sterling for the same reason. Wounded Knee George will be no competition, but then he never was.
Where is The Scot? Haven't heard from him in months. Will he defend his title? I doubt it.
