Wins all around!

For the second time this year, we have to throw out a huge congratulations to Ben Curtis for winning a PGA event. A lot of people have called him a one-hit wonder, but after victories this year at the Booz Allen Classic and another one yesterday at the 84 Lumber Classic, he has proven otherwise.

Ben was tied for the lead after the second and third rounds and went on to win yesterday by two strokes. He beat a good group of young golfers and collected a whopping $828,000 for his efforts. I just wish he was wearing Falcons' gear.

This has been a pretty exciting year watching Ben play. I can't tell you how great it is to be able to see him win not once, but twice on tour and shut up all those so-called experts who said he would never win again.

With his victory, Ben moved up to 21st on the PGA Tour money list, which puts him in contention to make the season-ending Tour Championship, played right here in Atlanta. Only the top-30 money winners are eligible for the tournament so it would be a huge step if he can hold on for that. It would be a thrill to be able to watch Ben compete in that tournament.

And to top it off the Bulldogs, Longhorns, and Falcons all won with dominating performances. I got to attend the Falcons-Succaneers game on Sunday and it was a blast. Thanks to Dru for the tickets and for taking all the trash talking from the Falcons fafns (Dru is a Succaneers fan). Unfortunately for Dru and his friend Matt there wasn't much to talk back about as the Falcons won the line of scrimmage on both offense and defense and moved to 2-0 with a big showdown in New Orleans next Monday night. A win against New Orleans puts the Falcons in great position as they would have beaten each of their NFC South rivals to open the season 3-0. I picked the Falcons to win the Super Bowl this year, and two weeks into the season I feel even stronger about that prediction.
