It may appear that K.J. Choi was the lucky player that made the putt on the 18th hole in yesterday’s Skins Game, but the truth is Choi played the best golf for two days and deserved to win the big money.
Andy North’s commentary on Saturday, the first day of the Skins Game, was emphasizing hitting the right shot at the right time and getting lucky in order to win the big skins. During the coverage on Sunday, however, North kept talking about the importance of continually hitting good shot after good shot.
What changed his tune?
Perhaps it was the play of Choi. Choi’s tee shots hit the center of most fairways and his approach shots were all right on target. The few shots that he didn’t hit right next to the hole were off on distance only; they still were right on line with the flag.
