Last
time we checked in with PGA Tour golfer Gary Woodland he had made 17
consecutive cuts on the PGA tour, the leader in this category. Now make that
18, with Woodland lurking eight shots off the lead at the 2019 Waste Management
Senior Open going into Sunday’s final round. The defending champ is not going
away quietly, and if Leader Rickie Fowler falters once again (after several frustrating finishes in prior
years) Woodland has a chance to hoist the trophy once more.
In
addition to his consistency and obvious talent, Woodland also seems like a very
good guy. Check out the attached video
which went viral, here. .During a practice round at the 2019 Waste Management
Phoenix Open, defending champion Gary Woodland asks Amy Bockerstette from
Special Olympics Arizona to play the infamous 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. Amy
recently became the first collegiate golfer to compete with an intellectual
disability such as Down Syndrome. (Amy attends
Paradise Valley Junior College in Phoenix.)
Amy nailed it, parring the hole with a Sandy to the roar of the always
exuberant crowd. Woodland, encouraging
Amy at every step, told Amy as they
walked off the green, “You are an inspiration to us. You are our hero.” The world needs more heroes
like Amy Bockerstette.
