U.S. Shock Open Golf at Bethpage
73 views in the world before winning the U.S. Open, Lucas Glover has become the latest player to alter the odds and win a Major Golf Tournament for the first time. Glover was one shot 500 / 1 before the tournament, but we should be too surprised that he won?
Other golf down hierarchy that have reached are similar, Steve Jones, who won the U.S. Open in 1996. Before his unexpected victory, Jones had not played in any of the majors he had done since the Open Championship in 1991 - a total of 18 consecutive majors. After winning, Jones was unable to reach the top ten in any another major.
In 2003 known American Ben Curtis, shocked the golf world by winning the Open Championship at Royal St Georges. It was his first time in a Major and won by a stroke from Vijay Singh and Thomas Bjorn. Curtis has played the Ryder Cup of golf and have had three major top ten finishes.
The following year, in 2004, Todd Hamilton won the Open Championship at Royal Troon. In the time it was only the fourth time he had qualified to play in a major championship in 15 years. He also has never made another top ten finish and that in any of the big four, his best position of being tied fifteenth in the 2009 U.S. Masters.
Scottish Paul Lawrie was the beneficiary of a mistake made by Jean Van de Velde who left a three-shot lead on the final hole at the British Open at Carnoustie in 1999. The forced error to play four away that Lawrie won. He has not finished in the top of any thirty principal since then.
U.S. Masters has also had its defenders shock, none more so than when Zach Johnson won in 2007. Although Johnson has played reasonably well in the PGA Tour, who had won once in 2004, Masters was only his second victory of the higher level. It has failed in nine majors after the top ten.
Shaun Micheel won the PGA Championship in 2003, not having qualified in all but two of the last 19 Majors. In addition to a creditable second in the same tournament in 2006 has had top 20 finishes since then.
The years before, in 2002, Rich Beem was the toast of the bookmakers, when he also won the PGA Championship. It was his only victory ever on tour and it was only the second time in sixteen events that had qualified to play in a major championship. He has not made the top 50 in any position.
These successes demonstrate that championships important are not always about Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington and the unknown, and the total can go and grab their moment of glory despite the difficulties, their past actions or form at the moment. Golf is about 4 days of intensity, frustration, skill, consistency, confidence, and above all the luck and its value and those above have shown that no matter how improbable, "comes the hour cometh the man" and this makes the game even more than it already is.
