Ames Wins Skins Game
In what had to be one of the most uneventful Skins Games in many years, Stephen Ames won the annual Skins Game. Ames won the second playoff hole and two skins that was worth $270,000, which brought his weekend total to 8 skins and $590,000. Not a bad gig if you can get it.
Has the Skins game run its course after all these years? Fred Funk has made it more entertaining that it might have been, but Freddy is no Trevino, Nicklaus, or Watson, and you need that kind of star power to make this successful. Maybe the format needs changing? How about two from the LPGA and two from the PGA? Christina Kim and Morgan Pressel vs. Camilo Vijegas and Bubba Watson? Now that would interesting!
