FROM HERO TO ZERO


We all know what it's like to lose a bit form.
Pre-season, string a few nice rounds together (off the winter tees) and one thinks they have mastered the game.
Then comes the first medal of the year...
1st tee nerves set in and a "Boeing" start (7,5,7) assures we crash back down to earth with a bump.
Surely this horrendous loss of form applies only to us meak duffers?
Not at all....welcome to the world of Justin Leonard.
Last year after the FBR Open, he was ranked a fairly respectable 32nd.
In his next 23 tournaments, he's only made the cut in 14 of them.
This year, he's missed every cut!!
He's now at number 210 in the world!!
For someone with an Open under their belt and always one of the more consistent players around, this really is a shocker.
The Masters is looking like a spectator sport for him this year.
Never mind Jus, there's always money to be made as a Prince Andrew lookalike!!

I'll certainly have to remember that one while I loop...a "boeing start"...just genius.
