“Thomas Brent “Boo” Weekley … is a fat guy who plays on the PGA Tour.” (Wikipedia) How eloquent.
Boo is stepping into the role from which John Daly has so ungraciously exited – that of the blue collar golfer who is more NASCAR fan and full-time sportsman (the fishing and hunting kind) than elitist golfer. The golf course is just a job that keeps him away from his family and fishing rod.
There’s no doubt he is an exceptional player. He has played in the last four Majors and made the cut in every one. He won the Verizon Heritage last year after chipping in twice in a row, and is looking at a repeat victory this year. Boo is leading by three going into the final round of the this years Verizon Heritage. With only one bogey in his last 40 holes and rounds of 64 and 65, his chances to successfully defend look solid.
