Robert Karlsson Makes It Back to the Top 20
For those who follow golf, knowing who is where in the standings is a big deal. For Robert Karlsson, this weeks standings for players worldwide is even more significant:
(source)Robert Karlsson’s eighth European Tour victory on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Championship moved him back into the top 20 in this week’s Official World Golf Rankings.
Karlsson moved up five places to No. 17 this week as he is a member of Nick Faldo’s European Ryder Cup team this week in Valhalla.
Now, top 20 lists are - sometimes - an every day occurrence (thinking more about lists like David Letterman’s daily top ten lists on the Late Show). However, when you’re on a list that includes Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington, Stewart Cink, Ernie Els and Henrik Stenson, there’s a little something that’s worth celebrating.
When it comes to golf - anyone who plays can tell you - that there’s sometimes nothing quite so challenging as hitting a small ball hundreds of yards to get it into a hole. Somehow, it seems to me that, for many golfers, even the top 20,000 is too high to aim.
