Congratulations to Patrick! An amazing weekend of golf to hold off all challengers! He has an interesting mix of equipment in his bag. Clearly a guy who likes to march to the beat of his own drum. I love watching Patrick for his dedication to his game and his energy. All I know about him is what I see on TV, and that he was the lone pro who would say hello to me during the PGA at Whistling Straits a couple years ago. Shame on the sportswriters whose lead articles on the victory were hit pieces.

He literally built his bag from scratch. He wasn't happy with the full line contract and the results last year. Apparently that included the ball he was using. Likely he isn't buying his equipment now, but he did give up the substantial endorsement money. There aren't many players using other OEM balls that don't have a full line endorsement deal involving clubs as well.

Dude has a shady past but maybe he has seen his error in his ways and has turned his life around.

We all have a past, some worse than others. Pretty impressed with Patrick on the golf course. My buddy has caddied in a few Ryder Cups and says the pressure is ridiculous......
