KU's Gary Woodland just misses out
Oct 28, 2013 08:57 PM #1

I couldn't find a spot for posts about sports other than BBall and FBall, so this looks like a good a place as any...

Former KU golfer Gary Woodland lost in a playoff today at the PGA tournament in Malaysia. He's really stepped up his game lately, with a win, a second-place and a third-place finish in the past few months.

The guy hits the ball a ton and usually leads the tour in driving distance. He needs to work on his short game, though...missed a 10-footer Sunday that would've given him the win outright. Still, $750K for second place ain't chump change!

Is that the guy Riggle recognized at Late night?

There you go @nwhawkfan ... made a new category for other sports / teams. We weren't using the Events bucket at all, so I think this makes sense.

Thanks for setting up this category, approx.

It's good to have a space to recognize KU athletes and alumni in the non-major sports. The NCAA champion women's track & field team is a good example. Hope we have another team that can pull off a title run soon...volleyball, maybe?

It's good to have a place to recognize Jayhawks in non-major sports as well, like the NCAA champions in women's track & field. Hope another KU team can make a title run soon...maybe volleyball?

@nwhawkfan Sorry nw, I am consolidating the other sports bucket to clean up a little -- changed football to be "& other sports"

No problem...I understand that you've got space limitations, and the "other sports" only get the odd mention.

Actually, before the West Virginia game, I was beginning to think KU football WAS an "other sport"...

P.S. Thanks for bringing back the black-on-white setup for comments. As others have said, it might not really be the easiest to read, but it's what our eyes have gotten used to.
