frustration
Today was the final day of the 2009 Travelers Championship. This year I shot two days of the tournament, which was very exciting. This photograph however, sums up my feelings after shooting today’s final round.
It is of David Toms on the 17th hole, missing a birdie putt that would’ve put him in 2nd place. Instead, he ending up being tied for 2nd with Paul Goydos.
I followed all the players who had a chance to win the tournament for most of the day. I got good shots of mostly everyone I covered. The newspaper however, only wants a couple photographs of one person, and that is whomever wins.
Unfortunately, the winning shot was not to be had by me today. Kenny Perry, who scored a course record -22 under par, got to the last hole and made his first shot on the green facing in my direction. The shot was extremely close and his reaction was going to be powerful. Here are my images of Perry about to react after hitting his ball. As you can see, he was preparing to show some emotion…
He missed that shot however, and on his second attempt, the ball went in the hole. Perry however was facing the exact opposite direction I was in and gave every photographer across from me the shot of the day. Here are my photos of the reaction shot from the wrong side of the green…(Notice the photographers in the background getting the shot)
All in all the event was fun and I will shoot it next year if I get the chance. Next year I will get the shot!
Here is a great photo Jim Rogash of Getty Images took of me in the totally wrong position (I am the kid with the big lense above his right arm haha)…
It’s ok Tom. I think you need a different angle of the winning person any day of the week!! Great pics!
