Didn't get a chance to pull something together about my second day at the Verizon Heritage on Thursday (and don't worry, you didn't miss much), so let's skip to day 3.
Saturday was the first time I had the pleasure of sitting in on a Boo Weekley press conference, and I quickly realized the man is truly everything people say about him.
In a 5-minute press conference, the Florida native:
-likened chewing tobacco during his round to a jolly rancher ("I just like to spit a lot, you know. Kind of have to have something in my mouth, I reckon, like a Jolly Rancher or something").
-explained why talking to the fans doesn't throw off his focus ("You're looking around anyway. You're like looking out there in the water or looking at the people").
-proclaimed for the umpteenth time that he's a redneck.
-and admitted who has the better diary ("I guarantee you mama does. She can spell").
Classic stuff.
With the way he's hitting the fairways and draining putts, it's pretty much a done deal that Weekley will become the event's third back-to-back champ.
And since part of the Heritage's prize is a tartan jacket, I guess it makes sense that a colorful guy like Weekley would have two.
