Lightbulb Golf trivia for reward points

First person to get this exactly right, I will give you 50 of my reward points.

One answer per person.


Phil Mickelson and Scott Verplank finished first and second in last weeks Houston Open. They share a significant PGA tour achievement in common, that is unique to them, in recent golf history. What is it?

They both won PGA Tour events as amateurs (Mickelson in 1991, Verplank in 1985)

Correct. I'm guessing you used a search engine?

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PICKING GOLF WINNERS
1. CLOSER with CHARACTER. Certain guys see the finish line and cross it and others are destined for second place.
2. RELAXED CONFIDENCE, FOCUS and a HUNGER to win. It's a mental game and their mind has to be in the right frame with a determination and focus. As Harry Vardon said: "To play well you must feel tranquil and at peace. I have never been troubled by nerves in golf because I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain."
3. COURSE. Does the course layout favor the strengths of the golfer and does it expose their weaknesses. Previous form can change immediately for those who feel comfortable on a course and its greens.
