Glory's Last Shot, or Something Like That

They call it glory's last shot, but it's really kinda like Glory's fourth guy in two days. You win the PGA Championship, you're a major champion, but it isn't like your hometown's erecting signs in your honor. It's the ugly sister's step-sister with a cleft lip, and everyone on tour knows it.

In the bizarro Tiger-less PGA Tour, we've had our stars (everyone wave to Anthony Kim and Kenny Perry), we've had our one-hit story lines (That's Greg Norman to your left) and everyone has seen the golfers fall flat on their poor, helpless faces (here lies Phil Mickelson and poor Sergio Garcia). It isn't the same game as most golfers are used to with Tiger out, but it's still going to be interesting at Oakland Hills and we do have the potential for someone to win it that will matter in the coming years.

My pick will stick with Anthony Kim. He hasn't really had a bad tournament since his first win this season and even when he faltered in the final round in Canada, he hit his driver well, which will be imperative at the Hills. If Kim can break through, it will be a great thing for everyone, so here's one guy's completely ludicrous opinion. I never pick the winner correctly. I had IUPUI in the NCAA bracket this year, so see....
