Scottsdale Golf Vacations

Honor and Integrity

“Promises Kept.” See: Yahoo! NEWS for AP Story, written by: Pat Eaton–Robb, Sunday Jun 26, 2011

Fredrik Jacobson won his first PGA Tour title in the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut on Sunday. Jacobson shot a 4-under 66; he finished with a one-stroke victory over John Rollins and Ryan Moore.

Remember, when Lee Trevino played 72 holes without a bogey in the Greater New Orleans Open? Well, no one has done it since, and that was Jacobson’s goal. His dream almost became reality. Jacobson had 63 consecutive bogey-free holes, but had issues on the par-4 10th. “His second shot went right, ending up resting against the cart path, but after taking relief and pitching onto the green, he couldn't make a 12-foot putt for par.” After a mud ball, and a sidewinder, Jacobson recovered to win with an easy two-putt on 18.

Why was Fredrik Jacobson so determined to win you might ask. He wanted to win for one main reason, his precious 5-year-old daughter, Emmie. Jacobson promised her that he would win a trophy this year just “like the ones she saw other players holding up on TV. Promise kept,” wrote Pat Eaton from AP.

Jacobson was also quoted as saying I'm excited about...” winning, because “… I'm glad I'm not breaking that promise for her." Well as a golf spectator, I am glad to see promises being kept. Hopefully the honor and integrity we have come to admire and adore about the great game of golf continues to improve even if it only happens one stroke at a time! .
