Reminiscent of his win in 2007 at The Barclays, Steve Stricker broke down behind the 18th green after winning the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs. TPC Boston fans have embraced Stricker all week long, and why not?
Stricker is a golfer that fans can relate to. Like anyone in your average foursome, Stricker faced the yips for several years. He fought off the shanks, and became a better player because of it.
Unlike many Midwesterners who have houses in Florida, Stricker has been committed to staying in Wisconsin, even during his off-season. Hitting balls in the snow...why not?
Looking at the twitter feeds of a number of PGA Tour players, Stricker's win was a popular one. It moves him up to second in the world rankings.
