Imagine being three shots off the lead starting the back-9 on Sunday at the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla.

And imagine you're not even close to having your best stuff.

Meeting Kevin Streelman
Everyone roots for the big names on Tour. Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, they all move the needle. They're major champions. And they have millions of fans.
But as easy as it is to root for these players, it's even easier to root for Wilson Golf staff pro Kevin Streelman.
I had the pleasure of meeting Streelman at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational this week. And I can tell you assuredly, Streelman's as down-to-earth and real a person as you'll ever meet.
A lot of players don't really speak with you when signing autographs. That's understandable. They usually won't shake hands. And you can't blame them, they're often tired and only have so much time. But Streelman is different.
As Streelman signed my Wilson Staff 8802 putter headcover, we exchanged a few words, like old friends, and also shook hands before he went back to practice.
I barely had enough time to wish Streelman good luck, before a group of strangers approached me and asked what we talked about. So I told them I won a new Wilson Staff 8802 putter in a contest that celebrated Streelman's victory at the Traveler's Championship this year.
And that Streelman came from behind to win the Traveler's by making seven-consective birdies on the final seven holes, the only player in Tour history to ever do that.
Streelman's victory celebration at the Traveler's was wild. He ran through the crowd slapping hands with everyone in the gallery. It was the kind of scene you only see in the movies.
So Wilson Golf decided it'd be fun to have a contest asking golfers, "How would you celebrate seven consecutive birdies?" And my celebration was "The Streelman Splash."
It made me chuckle when everyone then followed Streelman back to the putting green to watch him practice.
Streelman had a rough week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, beginning in the opening round when his ball somehow stuck to the side of a tree, about eye-level, embedding under some bark. How does that even happen?
Streelman's story is compelling. He's guided by wholehearted love for family, unwavering and steadfast faith, and an iron-will that only comes from rugged persistence and dedication.
And after 12 years of caddying, grinding on mini-tours, and plugging away on Tour, Streelman earned his first PGA Tour victory in 2013.
Let's face it, we're often fans of professional athletes simply because they're professional athletes.
I'm a fan of Kevin Streelman, just because he's Kevin Streelman.
