"Most Amazing Golf Facts"
The best stats so far in 2006
WINDERMERE — Tiger Woods won his 50th PGA Tour event today, and thus moves into first place on the list of "Most Amazing Golf Facts of 2006."
Here's the short list so far:
3) Justin Bolli had an incredible run in the Nationwide Tour's Price Cutter Charity Championship (July 20-23), firing four consecutive rounds of 6-under-par 66. That reads 66-66-66-66, 264, 24-under par. Amazing fact: He didn't win the tournament! He didn't even come in second! Doug LaBelle II shot 63-67-67-64—261, 27 under, and Nick Flanagan shot 69-63-64-67—263, minus-25!
2) Corey Pavin won the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee on July 30, his first victory in 10 years. He also won the Milwaukee event in 1986, a 20-year span. Amazing fact: The winner's check in 1986 was $72,000; the first-place prize this year was $720,000. That's a 1,000% increase!
1) Woods has won 50 times in 196 career starts. Amazing fact: That's a .255 batting average — terrible if you're a designated hitter, but amazing for a golfer. (By the way — Tiger also shot 66-66-66-66!! But he won!)
