Birdies & Bogeys: 5/17/06
The highs and lows, the ups and downs, in the world of golf
Wednesday, May 17, 2006

Birdie:
Brett Wetterich becomes the fifth first-time winner this season on the PGA Tour, capturing the Byron Nelson Classic -- his third top-10 finish in his past four starts. That moves Wetterich to No. 10 on the U.S. Ryder Cup points list, not bad for a player who has missed three cuts in nine starts in 2006.

Bogey:
Move over Lorena Ochoa: Trevor Immelman of South Africa has finished second in each of the past two PGA Tour events, the latest coming in the Byron Nelson Classic. Don't feel too bad for Immelman, though. He has pocketed $1,450,000 in two weeks and moved up to 14th on the PGA Tour money list.
