Big Break V Finals
The Big Break V finals have been completed and as most predicted, Ashley Prange won the match play event 5 and 4 over Jeanne Cho. It started out as a pretty good match with Jeanne and Ashley trading birdies and pars, but then it appeared Jeanne’s nerves started to get the best of her. More than anything, she seemed to be tentative with her putts and never really got the rock rolling consistently. As I’ve written earlier, Ashely has shown her mettle by already winning a Future’s Tour event this year so you have to believe winning the Big Break gave her some additional confidence.
The Golf Channel also announced that Big Break VI will be comprised of both men and women and is going to be played at Donald Trump’s resort course in California. Boy, this show has come along way from the cabins the men stayed in for Big Break I. This was probably the most enjoyable Big Break from my perspective because of the camaraderie that most of the women had with each other. Granted, most of them had played together on the Future’s Tour, but the competitors seemed to be genuinely applauding each other’s good shots. The previous shows (excluding the U.S.A. vs. Europe show) were as much about the gossip as they were about the golf. Yes, there is a human element in these matches, but golf is and will always be a gentlemen’s game and with that comes with respect for your competitor.

“respect for your competitor”. words of wisdom, often forgotten by certain players on the developmental tours…
