As happens with his fellow Argentine Ángel Cabrera, this golfer doesn't offer too much consistency, but when he's inspired it's a delight to watch him play golf. His rounds are often sprinkled with bogies and spectacular birdies and eagles. He's another very long hitter who can nonetheless display an elegant and smooth short game.

During the British Open he scored 10 birdies in the last round, led during some time and ended third, one shy of Padraig and Sergio García.

Today he scored a 63 in the Deutsche Bank Players' Championship of Europe (2 eagles, 5 birdies). He said: "On Sunday I talked to my manager whether to go back to Argentina but heard it was a good course, so decided to come here. I am glad I have." Indeed he is.

I thought this 25 yo golfer deserved his own thread.

Congratulations to Andres Romero on his first win; the Deutche Bank Players Championship....not a bad 2 weeks between the British Open and this tournament...a cool million four...this guy could be someone to watch at the PGA Championship.....

[Aquelarre]

He'll play the Bridgestone Invitational next Thirsday in Akron, Ohio, and then he'll be there at the PGA Championship (Oklahoma).

Go figure, eh? Guy comes off the Challenge Tour - 14th on that tour in 2005, not exactly lights out - then misses the cut 17 out of the first 39 tourneys he plays in over 18 months, then goes nuts.

Funny game.

[Aquelarre]

More missed cuts and also more spectacularly won games, more eagles and more doubles, are yet to come from this guy, believe me.

[Crutesie]

congrats to Anders..

i love this guy

[merlin]

This youg guy has a long and fruitful career ahead of him,one of the most exciting players to watch.

[Aquelarre]

After missing some cuts, "Pigu" displayed the best of his golfing talent and got the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

That means a winning share to the tune of $1,116,000 and an exemption through 2010. Not bad for his first PGA season!

He scored a 73 (+1) in the first round then a 69 and left a rain of birdies for the last two rounds: 65 (-7) and 68 (-4).

I don't know if anybody noticed but in a shot when they showed him practicing on the range he was using sometype of training aid. Anybody know what it was?
