Alright, let’s talk about this golf thing, the PGA Championship. Folks keep jabberin’ ‘bout the big shots, the fellas everyone knows, but what about them underdogs? Them dark horses, they call ‘em. I like them dark horses. They sneak up on ya, just like that old rooster in the yard, quiet as a mouse then BAM, he’s crowin’ fit to beat the band.
Now, I ain’t no golf expert. I watch it sometimes, when the soaps ain’t on. Seems like them fellas smack a little white ball around a big ol’ field. But this here championship, they say it’s a big deal. Lots of fancy folks watchin’, lots of money flyin’ around. So, who gonna win? Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout this Scottie Scheffler fella. He’s good, they say. Wins all the time. Like that fella down the road who wins all the pie-eatin’ contests. But he’s no dark horse, no sir. He’s the favorite, the one everyone’s bettin’ on. He’s like that big ol’ tom turkey in the pen, strutting around like he owns the place.
Then there’s this Jon Rahm fella. Another one they say is real good. He’s up there with Scheffler, the big shots. They’re like them prize-winning bulls at the county fair, all shiny and muscled up. But what about the others? Them fellas nobody’s payin’ much mind to.
- I heard tell of a Si Woo Kim. They say he’s sneaky good. Keeps his head down, don’t make much fuss. Like that ol’ hound dog, always sniffin’ around, then BAM, he finds the bone. He’s been playin’ good, they say, makin’ the cut at that Augusta place. That’s somethin’, right? Maybe he’s one of them dark horses, the kind that sneaks up and surprises everyone. He’s like that quiet girl in the back of the church, always there but nobody notices until she sings the loudest.
- There’s other fellas too, I reckon. Names I can’t even pronounce. But they’re out there, swingin’ them clubs, hopin’ to win. They’re like them weeds in the garden, always comin’ back no matter how much you pull ‘em out. And sometimes, one of them weeds grows taller than the corn, you know? That’s what a dark horse is, I figure. Someone nobody expects, someone who comes outta nowhere and wins the whole dang thing.
This Oak Hill place, where they’re playin’ this championship, they say it’s tough. Lots of hills and trees and such. Not like that flat field where the cows graze. It takes a special kind of fella to win on a tough course. Someone who can keep his head when things get rough. Someone who don’t get spooked by the big crowds and all the hoopla. Like that old mule, stubborn as can be, just keeps on truckin’ no matter what.
So, who’s gonna win this PGA Championship? I ain’t got no crystal ball, but I’m rootin’ for the dark horses. I like them fellas who don’t give up, the ones who keep on fightin’ even when nobody believes in ‘em. They remind me of them folks back home, workin’ hard every day, never givin’ up hope. And sometimes, just sometimes, them underdogs, them dark horses, they come out on top. And that, I reckon, is somethin’ worth watchin’. This championship, it’s gonna be somethin’ else, I tell ya. Just watch. You might be surprised who wins it all. It could be anyone. It could be that fella nobody ever heard of. That’s the beauty of it, I guess. Keeps ya on the edge of your seat.
Now, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about golf got me hungry. But I’ll be watchin’, keepin’ an eye out for them dark horses. They’re the ones to watch, you mark my words. They’re the ones with the fire in their belly, the ones with somethin’ to prove. And that, I reckon, makes ‘em dangerous.
Don’t forget, it’s always the quiet ones you gotta watch out for. Them big shots, they got all the pressure on ‘em. But the dark horses, they can just play their game, no expectations, no fuss. And sometimes, that’s all you need to win. Just a little bit of luck and a whole lotta heart.
This PGA Championship, it’s more than just a game, see? It’s a story. And every story needs a hero, sure, but it also needs a few surprises. Them dark horses, they’re the surprise. They’re the twist at the end, the ones that make you say, “Well, I’ll be darned.” So keep your eyes peeled, folks. The dark horses are comin’. And they might just win it all.
Golf is like life, I tell ya. Sometimes the ones you least expect are the ones who come out on top. So don’t count nobody out. Not yet, anyways. This championship ain’t over ‘til the last ball drops. And that’s when we’ll see who the real winner is.
