A Golfing Observation
I read an article recently on Cameron Triangle, a PGA golfer, generated by his recent third place finish in the Valspar Championship. His 13 under 271 in that tournament netted him a check for $407,100. But there was more.
It seems that Triangle holds the record for most PGA earnings without ever winning a PGA tournament. Since turning pro in 2009, in 298 starts, while he has no wins to his credit he has one second place finish, two ties for second, has been in the top three finishers six times, and has twenty-six top ten tournament finishes. He has a low PGA tour round of 62. He is currently 89th in the world golf rankings, and 149th on the all-time money list, having earned $13,743,938 as a PGA golfer.
So there it is, Cameron Triangle has never won a PGA golf tournament, nor have I. In that respect, and I am fairly confident saying in only that respect, he and I have something in common when it comes to our golf games. But what came to the forefront of my mind in mulling over this is how fickle, how elusive, how slippery, how deceptive that world “success” is.
It occurs to me...
