Steve Strieker had gone 4 H years and 88 starts on the PGA Tour wkhout a victory when he won a tournament he had no business playing.

He mowed down Padraig Harrington, Scott Verplank and Justin Leonard in the first three rounds, beat Pierre Fulke in the final match to capture the million prize and couldn't get the trophy presenta- tion without diokmg up. The second comeback was anything but a fhike. No one was surprised to see Strieker win at Westchester, only that it took this long. The Barclays was the 147th tournament stretched over 6 ft years since Strieker won in Australia, and he was beginning to wander whether if It would ever happen again Adding to these doubts were fresh wounds failure, so many chances over . the last four months that Strider was getting the reputation as a guy who oouldnt finish.

Aka averages about 56 inches of precipitation while Silver Lake Brighton averages about 44 inches of precipitation. One of the reasons for that is the lake-effe- ct storms that are generated over the Great Salt Lake during the snow season. Winds often .. push those storms into the canyons. The west desert areas around Wendover and the region near Lake PoweD average between 4 and 6 inches of precipitation per year. Their distances from mountain ranges and downsloping winds hep to prevent significant amounts of rain or snow. In Utah County, the wettest spots are in the south-- .' east parts of the valley and the local mountains, while the driest areas are along the west side of the valley from Elberta to Lehi.

This was about a from Wisconsin who showed amazing resiliency first turning around ha game when he lost his PGA Tour card, then turning around his fortunes on the bade nine of The Barclays. I was just happy that it worked out my way this time, Strieker said. He moved to the top of the playoff standings with a 2,050-poilead over Choi and nearly 5,000 points ahead of Woods, who makes his playoff debut this week outside Boston. Strieker earned $126 million, the largest check of his career. Perhaps the biggest jolt migtt have been waking up Monday to find he had risen to No. 5 in the world ranking. That would have been more plausible a decade ago, when Strieker was considered one of the top young American golf era He won two times in 1996, earned a spot on the Residents Cup team and was invited to the DunhiO Clip at St. Andrews to play with Phil Mickelson and Marie OMeara.

His decline started when he was offered endorsement money and changed equipment after the 96 season. Once he got through that, Strieker found it difficult to leave his wife who once caddied for him) and baby daughter at hone, and it was easy to pack it in once the majors were over. Strieker hardly ever played after September, when school started and hunting season rolled around. Even the year he won $1 million at Match Play, he skipped the final two months of the season and nearly lost his spot in the Tour Championship. Welcome back from retirement, Woods told him at the seasonending event, and Strieker just smiled. He had his priorities and still does. What he lost was his game. If there was low point, it might have been after the 2004 season when Strieker loBt his card for the first time. He couldn't go to Qschool because he forgot to turn in his application, and he fared even worse in 2005 while playing on sponsor exemption But he dug himself out of a hole by spending his winter in Wisconsin hitting balls from inside a heated. . sin 804 am 914 Un.
