When Price last won on tour, at the MCI Heritage in April last year , Medlen was in hospital battling his affliction. At the time, Price dedicated his victory to Medlen and said he was looking forward to having him back on the bag. Sadly, it was not to be. He needs the support and comradeship of his friends and I think he would have great support out here. No-one would let him eat dinner on his own.
Price is no stranger to personal loss.
Price played the par-five 16th in seven under, picking up three eagles and a birdie. Incredibly, each of his eagles was set up by a second shot to inside six feet. Jeff Sluman now has 11 runner-up finishes on tour, to go with his two victories. He is also 0-4 in playoffs. Sluman is entered for the Buick Open starting on Thursday, but Price will have the week off after playing in three different countries the past three weeks.
