Lowery Wins; Hart Finishes T-3

I have to admit I was pulling for Steve Lowery to defeat Vijay Singh in the playoff at Pebble Beach yesterday. Nice win for the 47-year-old Lowery, who had not been in the winner’s circle since 2000.

The better story was Dudley Hart, the third round leader. Hart is playing on a family crisis medical exemption for this year. He missed the last six months of the 2007 season after doctors found a large tumor in his wife’s lung. Suzanne Hart underwent successful surgery and Dudley stayed home with her and their young triplets while she recovered. He has 15 events to earn $485,931 to keep his full playing status. Hart picked up $312,000 for his T-3 finish.

Hitting range balls while wondering whatever happened to Brad Fabel.
