I'm a Covington Catholic grad so, certainly, I was rooting hard for CCH's Steve Flesch this weekend. Unfortunately, Steve couldn't keep up with Trevor Immelman on the last day. But, what's more impressive, is the way the Union, Kentucky resident handled himself afterward.
All weekend long, he handled the media like he was a man with nothing to lose, saying, he would enjoy the moment no matter what happened and he didn't disappoint.
Flesch just kept hanging around...that name on the leaderboard bridging the leaders and the lurking Tiger Woods. Flesch eventually made some mistakes that cost him a shot at the green jacket, but even on Sunday at Augusta with microphones in his face and the memories of "what could've been" still fresh, Flesch handled himself the same way he did on Thursday with an "aw shucks" smile and class. He said it didn't really matter what happened, he'd have fun. Heck, this was Augusta and he was in contention.
Good for you, Steve. How many of us would like a top-5 Masters finish on our resumes?
