I was fortunate enough to return home in time to watch (on TV) my cousin Bart Bryant win the Memorial Golf Tournament in Ohio. The initial report is that his share of the purse is $945,000$990,000*...not bad for a guy who was born in Gatesville, Texas and played college golf for New Mexico State University. It was especially exciting considering the clutch shot and putt he made on the eighteenth hole to seal the victory. Fred Couples (bless his heart ;-) was second, for the second straight year.

This tournament may have marked Jack Nicklaus' last regular competitive appearance at a US PGA event, so Bart's win will have just a bit more historical signficance.

Oh, and that Tiger guy? Finished in a tie for third.

*I just hope that Darth Vader guy doesn't show up at his doorstep claiming to be his father. Or uncle. Or, um, cousin.

Cousin Bart needs a website. I'd say $400,000 ought to build a really nice one!
