When saying Booooooo! Is a good thing

He was walking down the fairway with a beaming smile, the 18th green awaiting. The crowd had swarmed around him, chanting "Boooooooo! Boooooo!" Ok, so normally when Boo is chanted, it doesn't mean the person being spoken to breaks a smile, unless it's during a professional wrestling match. But, in this case, it was a great thing--as Boo Weekley won the Verizon Heritage at Hilton Head, S.C., for the second year in a row.

It wasn't without drama though. Anthony Kim was within 3 shots at the beginning of the day and looked good from the start, but then a double bogey on the ninth sealed his fate. Jim Furyk also charged hard at Weekley as well, cutting a six stroke lead to three by getting three birdies in the first five holes. But then came the 11th, and Furyk bogeyed, making it a margin he couldn't recover from.

Weekley's win automatically qualified him for next year's Masters, a week after tying for 20th at Augusta and not getting an automatic bid. While last year his victory was quite the drama, this year, Weekley almost expected to win it--and he did just that. I think we're seeing a true superstar in the making.
