ode
I've always thought well of Stricker. He's the consummate grinder and very few players (Kenny Perry may be the closest example) are able to turn their careers around the way he did. Strick was on the verge of selling life insurance back in the early 2000's. He lost his tour card after 2005, and spent most of 2006 playing on sponsor invitations and qualifying exemptions (of which he had few at the time.)
The guy still has some game to be competitive with the young bucks, even at the ripe old age of 53!
