Here’s this week’s What It Means:
1) Good job by Carl Petterson on winning this week’s RBC Heritage. Consistent play with timely putts helped lead to his five shot win. Petterson now has five career wins, even though it seems like he has about two. In fact, he might be able to battle Mark Wilson for the claim of most underrated man on the PGA Tour.
So what’s the rub? He hasn’t really won anything of much importance besides the Memorial, and hasn’t followed up his wins with any big wins. Winning WGC’s and ultimately a major will be what it takes to put Carl Petterson on the map.
2) Colt Knost is an up-and-coming guy. Watch out for him. The former U.S. Amateur champion finished third this week and once he finds his footing out on the PGA Tour he will be someone to watch as time goes on. He’s got the game to win out on the PGA Tour.
3) Kudos to Louis Oosthuizen, who flew 30 hours from Augusta to Malaysia and won the European Tour event there today. Good job by him and for getting over his jetlag. We all saw how well he was playing last week, so I’m not at all surprised to see him win this week.
