The Mayakoba Classic brought ideal conditions on this picturesque golf course located at Carmen del Playa. Designed by full-time businessman and occasional pro golfer Greg Norman, El Camaleon has stunning views of the Carribean Sea.
On Sunday, everyone was chasing winless Brian Gay. Gay, whose career spans 10 years, led the Colonial in 2004 after 54 holes only to stumble and eventually finish 14th. Leading by 5 shots, Gay posted a 1-under 69, good for his first win in 293 events. Steve Marino made things interesting firing a 66 good for solo-second. I really like this sophomore from Oklahoma who has made over 600,000 clams this season and looks like a player who will win soon. Matt Kuchar and John Merrick tied for 3rd, each carding a 67. Cliff Kresge, best known for falling in the water at the TPC's 17th hole island green, had a great round shooting 66 to finish fourth.
Nice to see Nationwide rookies Nick Flanagan and Roland Thatcher sneak inside the top ten. Rounding out the bottom is Brett Rumford 12-over, Martin Laird 15-over and Bob Burns +19- didn’t he beat Tiger Woods once? Well guys, do not be too upset- you made more money than I did this week and you get to hang out in Cabo. On a personal interest note I wonder what Greg and Chrissy did all weekend? Well children see you next week with more analysis, speculation and useless trivia from the writer.
