Ben Curtis: The Closer

Okay, so I'm not saying Ben Curtis is Tiger Woods-like in his ability to close out a tournament when he's in the lead... what I'm saying is that, of late, it seems that the Benster has a talent for winning tournaments that are not coming back next year. From Yahoo! Golf:

"For the second time in three months, Curtis won a tournament that's not scheduled to return next year, stringing a series of big putts down the stretch to claim the 84 Lumber Classic title by two shots Sunday over Charles Howell III."

It's a pretty good way to get a win if you think about it. You get the notariety of winning and the winning check, and you don't have to commit to playing in the same event next year.
