The Nationwide Tour's grand design is really quite simple. The objective is to teach pros who aspire to greater heights how to handle their business, learn to travel, manage their games and, primarily, win
In layman's terms, it is better to make one gigantic splash than a string of successful, yet small ones. Speaking of which, welcome to Matt Weibring's world, the one with ripples on the water rather than resounding crescendos.
By all accounts, Weibring, who didn't make his first start until he Monday qualified for the Henrico County Open in late April, should be tickled pink about his first half of the Nationwide Tour season, one in which he made eight starts, eight cuts and accumulated $117,972 thanks in great part to three top 10s as well as three additional top 25s. He is 20th on the money list and stands to graduate to the PGA TOUR in 2009 should he duplicate his financial success in the second half, which begins today with the first round of Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic presented by Samsung.
Still, nothing is guaranteed Weibring, the son of former PGA TOUR winner D.A. Weibring, nor anyone else in the dog-eat-dog world of professional golf.
