Scott Verplank is my athletic hero — he was even before I knew he was a diabetic and an pumper — he is a graduate of my school district (next high school over), grew up at the golf course down the street, etc. He is having a fabulous year, placing in the top 10 at several tournaments and winning the Nelson this year.
Former Oklahoma State golf standout Scott Verplank finishes tied for seventh behind Cabrera. Verplank closed with a 2-over-par 72 and ended at 10-over 290 for the tournament. He earned a little more than $194,000.
