Kramer Hickok finished runnerup at the Travellers Championship, losing to Harris English after a eight-hole playoff. English finally made a birdie, the first in the playoff, to win for the 4th time.

The playoff went on so long that they had to sub in the standard bearer for the group after the 5th playoff hold, because the poor guy was exhausted from going back and forth between the 18th and 17th holes.

Kramer made me think of his namesake, Seinfeld’s Kramer, so I found this video of clips from a classic episode of Seinfend on Youtube.

Back when I first started this site there was a section called “Brush with Greatness” where people could submit a story of an encounter with a famous golfer.  Here is one of the entries.

A few years back at the Phoenix Open, I was walking from the parking lot to the Birds Nest and a rental car stops to give me a ride, it was a friend I had met the prior year who runs the tournment on behalf of the (then)  primary sponsor. Who was driving, Nick Price. Very nice guy!
