Today Sony's Open will be the first for a Filipino to play Full time on the PGA Tour. His name is Jason Day born in Australia and raised by his Pinay Mom. Day's Dad passed away when he was only 12 yrs of age. When I read this guy resume or saw his photos about 4 years ago - I knew right away thats there something Filipino on this kid. I even told and posted to my friend Jennifer Rosales website about this kid - being a Filipino that is.
I guess I'm lucky enough to be friends with this 2 Pinay Golfer (the other one is Dorothy Delasin) but Jennifer is the one I support the most. She came to Las Vegas last year and was lucky enough to met the whole family (even talk to her mom from 9th Hole to 18th throughout the game - I would say Jennifer Rosales mom is the coolest mom I ever talk too - won't forget that talk I had with Jennifer Rosales Mom - it was Priceless.
A New Day for all Filipino Golfer when Sony Open in Hawaii start this Thursday (Jan 10, 2008) history will be made.
Photo below was me taken by friend of mine last year some tournament here in Vegas. Looking serious LOL don't remember what hole this one but I'm guessin it was from a par 5 ( It was a long fairway and Im picking which side whould I hit the ball for my second shot - I made par on this hole - Arroyo Golf Club by Red Rock).
I been playing golf the past 3 yrs already and Jennifer Rosales - whom I considered one of the most influential person not just for me but to all golfer back home in the Philippines. JRO as we call em - was one of the reason I switch my sport from Tennis (playing for almost 22yrs). I will post more on Jennifer Rosales.
