In a great Sunday of sports, two events stood out. At the iconic TPC Sawgrass, for one, Sergio Garcia captured this years Player's Championship, as he also got his first win in three years. He played extremely well the entire tournament, placing 1st in Driving Accuracy and GIR. It was a much deserved, and emotional win for the Spaniard, whose opening comment to NBC's Bob Costas was, "First I'd like to thank Tiger for not being here."...comical Sergio as always. Congrats to him. You can check out Sergio's scorecard here, and the tournament leaderboard here.
Also, over at 1060 W. Addison, the Cubs completed a three-game sweep of the Arizona D'Backs, exacting some revenge from last years early, playoff exit. In the three games, the pitching was solid, paired with clutch, late-inning rallies of runs. Derrek Lee had a nice weekend with 2 HR, while Alfonso Soriano started to pick it up going 5-9 with 2 RBI, 2 R, and an IBB in a PH-appearance on Sunday. Kosuke Fukudome also clubbed his 2nd HR of the season with a 2-run shot on Saturday. The Cubs, at 23-16, are now tied atop the NL Central Division with the Cardinals, and are about to go into a 4-game series vs. the Padres at Wrigley this week, followed by another home series vs. the Pirates going into next Sunday. They are set to face Greg Maddux on Thursday's contest.
Oh, yeah...Happy Mother's Day!
