Break Of A Lifetime: Brian Campbell Wins His First Ever PGA Tour Event Thanks To A Tree Saving Him, Takes A Beer To Toast The Tree After The Round

I know people probably weren't locked into the Mexico Open yesterday. It's one of those stops on tour where the big names don't play, people are getting used to seeing the younger/newer guys on Tour, but we had a ridiculous final round. 

Go back to the first tweet in the blog. That was Brian Campbell's tee shot on the 2nd playoff hole. Ball was destined to go OB. That thing had no chance of being anything good, likely costing him his first ever win. Instead he got the kick and wins the damn thing. So what's he do after? 

Him and his caddie take a beer and go toast the tree. Smart. That's how you respect the game, keep good luck on your side. In fact he should ask for a branch or two, gotta take it home with you. That tree just gave you $1.26 million ($763,000 for 2nd). Legit life changing win for a dude that hasn't had that yet on Tour. Forget the money, it's also getting invites to the Masters, it's having a PGA card, it's more that goes to it than one paycheck. All because of that tree saving your ball on the 2nd playoff hole. Yeah, I'd say bringing a beer there is well worth it. 

If you golf, you know the jokes. Member's bounce is typically said in that situation, no matter how much you try to fight it. Someone in your group is saying member's bounce. But you also know that feeling of getting the break, it changes your entire mood. One snap hook drive ends up in the first cut because a tree saves you. That triple bogey becomes a regular bogey, we're all normal here, no need to lie. Now imagine that feeling for a million bucks and your entire life changing. Must be nice.
