He played very well last week and was in contention to win before he hit the water on 18. He still finished 4th. He is really becoming a solid player.

I was impressed with the -20 he posted last week even on an easy course. He will not have any problem keeping his PGA card. He sould go over the $1M mark this weekend. I also noticed he picked up Mutual of Omaha as a sponsor or somebody loaned him a shirt. He already had Titleist. Not bad for a kid one year out of college.

Those are legitimate sponsors and the more weeks he has like last week, the more money they will be offering him. I heard him interviewed last week and he talked about some stuff that he and his coach worked on that clicked. It is showing. We'll see him hoisting a trophy sometime soon, I think. Maybe this weekend. Title: Re: Bud Cauley shoots a 63 at the Canadian Open (Tied for 8th place) Post by: Jamos on July 28, 2012, 08:08:01 AM Bud has the ability to go low.

You may be onto something there, J. Mutual Of Omaha has a strong presence in Alabama with their Medicare supplement.

They sponsor several players besides Bohn and Cauley. See attached link for golfers they sponsor.

He will go over $1M for the year today. He is also racking up FedEx points. If he keeps up this pace, he could even make the Ryder Cup. I don't know that he could work his way into the top 10 with the season in the last quarter, but he could be a captain's pick if he were to win one coming in and have a strong showing in the PGA Championship. I think Dufner is another one who could make the Ryder Cup, even if he is a boog.

Title: Re: Bud Cauley shoots a 63 at the Canadian Open (Tied for 8th place) Post by: pmull on July 29, 2012, 06:15:39 PM Cauley won $214,933 for his 4th place finish. That makes his season earnings $1,170,946. Since he turned pro 14 months ago he has earned $1,906,095.
This young man has a bright career ahead of him. I guess you could say he is living a dream. Playing golf on the finest courses in the world and getting paid well to do it.
