Gary Woodland's Magical Win At The U.S. Open At Pebble Beach

Gary Woodland has always had the reputation of being a good golfer at the professional level but could never quite get over the hump from good to great. Gary won the first major of his career on Sunday at Pebble Beach Golf Links. What's a better father's day gift than winning 2.25 million dollars. Also, Gary outperformed the reigning U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka to take home the trophy. Koepka has shown his dominance this year through his multiple winnings including a major win at the PGA Championship. However, Gary was playing lights out on the weekend shooting four under. This win could not have come at a better time for Gary Woodland as he now has a chance to crack into the top 10 for the World Golf Rankings.

This win meant a lot to Gary as it was on Father's Day two years following the devastating miscarriage of his future son. He also has had to deal with the recent loss of his grandmother who died in January 2019. This is Gary's best performance of his career and will hopefully boost his status on the PGA Tour. He is not new to playing well on the tour as he is currently in 3rd place on top 10 finishes this season with 9.

Also, he had two 2nd place finishes previously this year before winning the U.S. Open so you knew he was eventually going to break through with a victory this season, according to ESPN. He has shown to the world that he can play at an elite level and this is just a perfect example of it. Expect Woodland to keep playing sharp heading throughout the season as he still has a lot to play for. Woodland is still currently in the race for the FedExCup as he stands in 3rd place with a total of 2,193 FedExCup points.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
