WGC Bridgestone Invitational

Stuart Appleby had his best finish for the year when he finished tied second with Lee Westwood, one shot behind Vijay Singh at the World Golf Championship Bridgestone Invitational. The great thing about this weeks event, and a turning point in the year for Apples, was that he was 5 over par for the tournament after 7 holes in the first round. He made some ball position and mental adjustments and managed to make 5 birdies to get get back to even par for the day. Stuart hasn't been finishing tournaments off well after being in good positon several times in the past 2 years, but this is the type of comeback that builds confidence and momentum. On Sunday he was through the turn at one over for the day and at that stage 5 shots back from the lead. He had another great back 9, shooting 3 under and had hit a very good birdie putt from 20 feet at the last to force a playoff withh Vijay that just stayed out. This week we are at Oakland Hills in Detroit for the last major of the year, The PGA. I think Apples will be going into this major with great belief after his strong finish at the Bridestone.
