The year was 2007. Steve managed to post the best net-score at Trophy Lake and take home golf's Camel Cup. After that win, began an amazing run of fortune as a Kansas Jayhawks die-hard. First it was the football team not only going to their first Orange Bowl in eons, but winning it! Followed shortly after that by his beloved basketball team winning their first title in 20 years.
Given the fortunes of his alma mater when he holds Camel hardware, maybe it's time to put some dough on KU to win the title again this year and not only because of their talent.
Steve became the first-ever American to take the Tournament of Champions down on Friday, March 12. After qualifying for the tournament in the last event of the season, Steve played confidently until hitting a rough patch before he managed to take two large pots off Tim to bounce back into contention. From there he coasted to the final two where he took out fellow American MattG who at that point could barely open his eyes to read his cards (thanks to the handiwork of mixologists Chris and Ben).
The details are a bit hazy for sure, but if you view the Camel Cup twitter page, you get an idea of two things: 1) the way the poke-off and tournament unfolded till the final three and 2) how good of shape MattG was in given his last tweet read, "Adam's 8-10 loses to Steve's 10-8"...umm, what?
Anyway, the standings are below and a big thanks to Dave for hosting. Next time the runner-up is sticking with beer and perhaps we'll be back in a hotel. The new season will be 10 games with the TOC taking place in February.
Anyone who would like to sign up to host future events, check the calendar on the right and let us know.
Congrats again to Steve on the big win and best of luck in Vegas.
