Short hitters rejoice!

Surely, short hitters everywhere were celebrating Fred Funk’s win at The Players, at the TPC Stadium course at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra. Funk showed you don’t have to be a long bomber, like a Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods or those guys, to win on the PGA Tour.

Funk takes some ribbing about his short stature off the tee, but no one makes sport of his soft approaches into the green. Course management, baby, that still has a place in this era of 350 and even 400-yard drives. Give John Daly a touch of Funk and you’d have a dominant force on the world golf scene.

All hail the Funkmaster!
