Michael Allen, who I consider the best driver of the ball on the planet, rallied with a 65 Saturday at Congressional. Just one shot behind the leaders Tiger Woods and Anthony Kim. Not only is he a good friend and ex-roomie on the 1989 European Tour he's a 19th Hole Wine Club member and he loves our wines!
While most his age are chasing the Senior Tour Michael Allen feels he's playing too darned good not to play with the best on the PGA Tour. I'm personally excited because our wine club followed Michael on the "West Coast Swing" earlier this year(Pebble Beach Pro-am, Bob Hope in Palm Springs and the LA Open) and he's ball striking was superb, if he'd made a putt or two he might have won in all three events.
Well now he's putting and it's fun to see a guy whose played for twenty plus years on tour and have a chance to win on the PGA Tour at fifty year young. He had a big victory a month back in the Senior PGA Championship in Ohio and I know that victory gave him a huge boost of confidence.
Hopefully he'll have a great day tomorrow and win the tournament which with Tiger on top would make the victory even more sweet!
