Colossal collapse makes Owen No. 1 in latest Golfer Supremacy Rankings

Monday March 20, 2006 | 08:19:28 478 words, 1569 views  

We receive literally millions of e-mails daily asking how we put together the Golfer Supremacy Rankings. Some offer bribes, kickbacks or sparkly things in order to get a golfer ranked higher.

Sure, we could let a company like say, Titleist make these decisions for us, but we choose to follow our own hearts. This is yet one more reason why the Golfer Supremacy Rankings are the most important golf rankings in the known universe. And don’t you forget it.

Golfer Supremacy Rankings

1. Greg Owen

Comments:
It takes a special kind of man to throw away 71 holes of great golf with a brain fart of such immense proportions. Aside from costing him a victory and nearly $400,000, Owen’s 40-inch three-putt puts him amongst such hallowed names as Jean Van de Velde. Still, Van de Velde is the undisputed king of throwing it all away, being he actually had time to think about what he was doing. And he did it in a major. And, well, he’s Jean Van de Velde.

2. Juli Inkster

Comments:
At 45, Inkster won the Safeway International, the 31st victory of her Hall-of-Fame career. That’s all. You may now return to your conversations about Michelle Wie, Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel.

3. William K. Wolfrum

Comments:
Let’s see, here: Blog on Mark O’Meara’s fading career is followed by O’Meara missing the cut. Check. Blog predicting the U.S. falling apart at the World Baseball Classic followed by the U.S. falling apart. Check. Blog on Bay Hill Invitational looking like a classic. Check. In all modesty, there’s a very good possibility that I am the greatest golf blogger in the long and spectacular history of golf bloggers.

4. Ashley Prange

Comments:
From Big Break V to her first Future Events victory, Prange has done her part to make The Golf Channel’s trite and silly reality show appear validated. Regardless, a final-round 66 to win the Greater Tampa Duramed Futures Classic is nothing to sneeze at.

5. Sarah Lee:

Comments:
Sure, she fell apart at the end of the Safeway Invitational and ended up in second. But she’s already one of the best known names on the LPGA without anyone actually knowing her. Plus, the Cheap Bastard just freaking lost it when he found out that Sarah Lee was in contention. Sorry, Percy, the one you were thinking of was actually Sara Lee.

Random Factoid: Recipe for Sara Lee’s Banana Eclair Croissants:

Ingredients:

Bay Hill a classic? A classic comedy of errors, first Pampling doing his best to throw the tournament away followed by Owen putting the tournament away. As for your prediction, not one of the players you mentioned in your previous blog had any bearing on the tournament.

Re: (1) - Speaking of missing them quick, has Thomas Bjorn's 3 from the bunker at Royal St. George's been forgotten that fast?
