Week One-Pro Golf 2012-What I Learned
10. Steve Stricker is still Steve Stricker. I don't know if he doesn't like to run away from fields or if he subscribes to the theory of "make pars and let them chase/catch me." If it's the latter, why doesn't he have a major yet? 9. Martin Laird should win again in...
