LONNIE KNOWLES

11 WINS

Lonnie Knowles becomes the second player in league history to reach 11 wins with his league closing season victory at Cinco Ranch. But, only one small teenie weenie problem. NO MAJORS. Another year has passed and Lonnie still has the dubious title as the League's best player, not to have a major on his resume. Right now it is keeping him from entering the Hall Of Fame. Has the window of opportunity closed or can Lonnie find a crowbar of youth and fortitude to pray it open again to win a major?  His short game and putting game is still on point. He can still Poke it a long way. And his irons to the green are average. So it's not his ability but his inability to win a major. Let me explain. Have you ever heard sports is a game of inches? Well in golf, success can be measured even closer than that.  A ball can roll in or out of the hole by just millimeters or off the clubface by a fraction of a degree, with a win or a loss hanging on the razor edge of feast or famine. Lonnie probably has played in more tournaments than anybody else. But the commitment to play and the commitment to win are two entirely different things.  Lonnie has a lot of balls in the air professionally and personally. And with golf, the margin of error is so defined, I am sure that plays into his loss record in majors. Fairways may be wide and Green may be large, but if you are not focused within the 8 inches between your ears, you will struggle in the game of golf. Congratulations Lonnie on your win! I know where your priority lies and it not under a golf ball. God, Family, Job!
