Bateman Finally Wins
Six years and 151 events. Call Brian Bateman patient. Call him opportunistic (Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh both missed this year’s Buick Open). But more than anything, call him a winner.
Bateman finished with a birdie on the final hole Sunday at Grand Blanc to take the prize. And what did he have to say afterward?
Every player from Tiger Woods to Brian Bateman has to win their first one.
Here’s the thing. Not everyone has to win their first one. Some guys never do. It’s awesome that Bateman has had the chance to taste victory at the highest level of his profession.
Congrats to Bateman on a job well done. Here’s hoping this is the first of many more bright moments for him.
