In 2000, Tiger Woods won golf’s US Open. He did so in historic fashion — he was the only person under par in the entire field and wound up winning by 15 strokes. In doing so, he held the title for all four of professional golf’s major tournaments. This earned him continued comparisons with the all-time sports greats.

But that wasn’t the story for me.

Jeffrey Wilson plays golf once a week — Thursdays at 12 noon.

Jeffrey Wilson made it through a couple-o’-three qualifying tournaments and earned his way to play in the US Open. He was only one of two amateurs to do so.

Jeffrey Wilson “made the cut” and was able to play Saturday and Sunday at the USGA’s most prestigious event. He was the only amateur to do so. And he bettered many a pro.

Jeffrey Wilson didn’t win, but he competed against (and beat many) people who make golf their career. He would’ve won $11,000 if he were a pro. Not bad for a week’s work.

Jeffrey Wilson was back at his desk the day after being low amateur at the US Open. 9 AM. He said he’d be ready to sell Toyota’s at 9:15 AM. He’d need some coffee first.

Jeffrey Wilson played golf on Thursday. 12 Noon. As he does every week. Once a week.

But the week before that, Jeffrey Wilson swam with the big fish.
