The young Swed, Jonas Blixt won the Frys.com Open and his first PGA Tour Victory on the weekend. It was his second great week after a 3rd last week in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open.This was only his 19th start on the PGA Tour. I think Jonas is a great example of how the Web.com Tour, or when he played on it the Nationwide Tour, is preparing young guys budding with raw talent for the life of a PGA Tour star. Jonas worked his way onto the PGA Tour for this year and finally in the Fall Series, capped off his rookie year with a win. As a hockey player I also liked his history because I can relate to wanting to be a hockey player growing up and then once that does not work out turning to golf. After a disappointing finish, Nicolas Colsaerts is debating where to play next year. He is a member of the European Tour this year but has made enough in the Majors this year to be in the race for a spot on the PGA Tour next year. If he makes the top 125, he will probably take Dual-Membership because he will probably want to play in a few of his favorites from the European Tour. I hope he chooses the PGA Tour because its always fun to watch guys bomb it off the tee, and he can certainly do that.
