What Ever Happened to....

[NDNick]

Matt Kuchar and Ty Tryon

 

I believe Tryon was playing the Hooters Tour last year, and he actually won an event there in 2005 for his only professional victory. However, he shot an 87 in Q School this past year. Married with a kid.

 

Here's ESPN article on him:

The first team to have a foursomes score of par or close to it.

[Aces-6]

Chip Beck....I wonder if he regrets laying up on 15 at Augusta? I know some of you remember that debacle.

 

David Ogrin....Played a few times with him around the San Antonio area in the mid 90s. Best short game I have ever seen but pretty much a scraper with the longer clubs.

Haeggman is currently leading this week's Euro Tour event.

[rankoutsider]

Michelle Wie - OK, she might win this year

 

And I second Camillo Villegas, but for all the right reasons. Really, what happened to that guy? I knew he was solid when he came out, but I think he might win a Major this year. That's a pretty big climb pretty quickly.

[thenation48]

Tom Tolles

[JLTD63]

Chris Perry

 

Dennis Paulson (The Chief...remember?)

 

 

I could think of a few others, but I can't. Get it? Ha, ha :rolleyes:

 

 

I think Chris Perry is hanging out with Kenny Knox. Paulson works for PGA Tour Radio on SiriusXM.

 

 

That's cool for Paulson...I've never listened to PGA Tour Radio (no Sirius for me), but that's good he's still around the game.

 

How about Chris Smith? I think he's still playing the Tour here and there, but for a couple years there he was playing well and making some cash.

[JLTD63]

Jose Maria Olazabal is a good one...already mentioned I know.

 

I remember he has had some injuries, and I'm not the best at staying in the loop but I haven't heard his name for a long, long time.

 

Loved watching him win at Augusta.

[mikpga]

Mike Donald...

[Lefty17]

John E Morgan I saw on the Leaderboard this year on the European Tour.

 

Some mentioned Grace Park..gone.

[SoCalTitleist]

Colt Knost? Wasnt he supposed to be a hot rookie when he came out.

[theelvis510]

Mac O'Grady

 

I actually met Mac last year. I was working for the Section PGA, and he played in a Champions Tour Qualifier that I ran for the Boeing Classic. Nice guy, kinda goofy

 

 

Never met the guy just heard stories when he was at Atlanta CC. Very excentric. I always heard he wanted to play a tournament as Mac O'Grady one, playing right handed and Mac O'Grady2 left handed. I'd like to meet him and see if there is any truth to the rumor.

[bucky316]

Ben Wright (former CBS announcer...I liked his work, especially his banter with McCord)

Sam Randolph

Michelle McGann

[S70B]

The Finau brothers.

 

So much hype when they appeared.

[Tigersworld]

Here's one for you......Hank Kuehne??? Last I heard bittier divorce then dating Serna Williams but no golf huh

 

JuNiOR

[nlacross]

JuNiOR

 

Beat me to it, Kuehne was the guy I was going to ask about...

[Jaylasvegas]

Mike Reid

 

Lee Rinker

[CowtownTexas]

Colt Knost? Wasnt he supposed to be a hot rookie when he came out.

 

 

He had a good year on the Nationwide last year as a rookie with two wins and four top 10's. He's a rookie on the PGA this year and has 4 cuts with one top 25 finish.

 

Not too shabby really as he's only 23.

[jaskanski]

Brian Watts

Todd Hamilton

Bill Glasson

Steve Jones

?

[JLTD63]

The Finau brothers.

 

So much hype when they appeared.

 

 

I played alot of amateur golf with these two boys...both good players, both could hit it a MILE. But yes...mostly all hype. Neither was ever better than the dime-a-dozen aspiring tour pro toiling around the mini-tours.

 

I'm not sure exactly what created all the hype...not that they couldn't play, they sure could hand me my hat regularly, but they just were never that special in my eyes.

 

I'm not even sure what they're doing now...still playing somewhere. I saw them last spring practicing here locally but didn't chat with them much.

[JLTD63]

Mike Reid

 

Lee Rinker

 

 

Mike Reid won the Senior PGA a few years ago...I think he's still playing the Champions Tour but I don't know. He usually plays here in Johnny Miller's "Champion's Challenge" a little two-day exhibition event. I watched him play last summer.

 

His son Daniel plays for BYU. I think the Reids' still own a home here in Utah, but someone told me they live full-time in Maryland or something.

[stage1350]

Certified heads. :Drew's a mythbuster: :rolleyes:

[B T JUSTICE]

John E Morgan the dude with the blue hair

 

Moggsy has had a few issues with his health (epilepsy) but is on the way back and is exempt on the European Tour again this year.

He used to do the greatest monkey impression ever. Usually at inappropriate times with the amateur games top brass in attendance.

[Leeds1888]

Hammerin Hank is dating Venus, not Serena.

 

Thought of another one, Nicolas Fasth.

[Awsi Dooger]

Forrest Fezler

 

That goes way back, probably early '70s. Inverrary was a chic new PGA event, with Jackie Gleason and Bob Hope getting tons of publicity by playing against other in the pro am. No one had ever heard of Forrest Fezler but the guy with the distinct name was a sensation all week until he blew it over the final holes.

[dcfas]

Another vote for Tommy Tolles. I remember when he was in the running at the Masters. Big time potential, then just faded.

[Bomb and Gouge]

What's Jesper been up to?

 

Chris DiMarco?

Jerry Kelly?

 

They haven't been making much noise lately.

[SmooveB]

David Gossett

 

 

Good call. He's become worse than Duval. Much much worse in fact.

 

http://texasgolf.blogspot.com/2005/07/hey-...id-gossett.html

 

 

 

 

I saw Gossett at a U.S. Open sectional qualifier in 2006. He was paired with one Michelle Wie. Anyway Gossett played well (I think he outplayed Wie for what that's worth) but didn't qualify. He hit one of the snazziest little recovery shots I've ever seen, slicing a little knockdown iron underneath a huge tree and around a dogleg. Everyone thought he was just trying to get back into the fairway, but he put the ball on the damned green!

 

Just goes to show you, even guys in a career slump have major game.

[daughterscameron]

How about that guy who took Tiger late into that one major: Bob....April,

Bob.....June. :fool: . Whatever his name was. :drinks:
