Chopra Survives Strikers Strike At Kapalua
Its a Rap Golf Video Blog Week 1, 2008
Daniel Chopra outlasted two-time comeback champion Steve Striker to win the season opening Mercedes Benz Championship. Chopra earned our respect for a victory that he needed 3 shots at. On the final hole of regulation he had a 12 footer to win he left in the jaws. On the first playoff hole he had 7 feet to win and hit a weak putt. On the 2nd play off hole Chopra had the Nicklaus putter in the air going but then had to adopt the Tiger falling to his knees routine when it stopped on the edge. He again came up a blade of grass on the 4th hole for eagle but tapped in for birdie to take the win, his 2nd in only 3 starts on the PGA Tour.
Chopra’s win was overshadowed by a comment from Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman who suggested that the only thing PGA Tour players could do to stop Tiger Woods was to “lynch him in a back alley”. Of course, some over sensitive civil rights activists went up in arms and made it a storm in a tea cup. Tiger’s camp issued a statement saying “It is a complete non-issue” but Kelly was eventually suspended for two weeks. Some people really need to get themselves a life, or smoke some weed and just chill out.
