Morning Drive

Ron Sirak - August 20, 2012

The final of the 112th U.S. Amateur between Michael Weaver and Steven Fox was very exciting as Weaver, who had led since the 7th hole of the day and was 2UP with 2 to play, ended up losing the 35th and 36th holes before losing to Fox on the 37th hole. Steven Fox, who plays for  the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, entered the week as a virtual unknown and it will be interesting to see what he does in competition between now and the 2013 Major Championships.

Paula Creamer tied for 19th in the Safeway Classic after a final round 76. She has not won since the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open and the main reason behind the drought is the putter. She has struggled with her putting for the last couple years although some have also pointed to her serious thumb injury from 2010. Once putting gets into your head, it is hard to recover from those struggles and Creamer is trying to do exactly that right now.
