Choking Dogs

Sometimes these guys are not so good. Take Brad “Taco” Adamonis and Jay Williamson, both of whom are winless on the PGA Tour, in the John Deere Classic on Sunday. Adamonis (wearing a visor with "Taco" stiched on it) choked horribly on a birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win outtright and ended up in a three-way playoff with Williamson and Kenny “No Majors” Perry. On the first hole of sudden death, Adamonis cranked a 3-wood into the trees and instead of laying up and playing for par, did his best Tin Cup impression and dunked his second shot into the greenside pond. Williamson, who owns and equally undistinguished record, hooked his second shot from the middle of the fairway into the same pond. Perry, who skipped the U.S. Open and will play the U.S. Bank Championship a.k.a. the Greater Milwaukee Open, next week instead of the British Open, hit the green and two-putted for his third victory of the year. Really compelling golf from players no one has ever heard of and may never hear from again.
