I don’t believe in jinxes. Just because you say something doesn’t mean you’re preventing it from happening.
That being said, what I did to Alex Prugh was wrong. I picked him to win the Cox Classic on my blog. I followed him during his practice round on Tuesday and did a story on him. At the end of the round, I jokingly said, “If by chance you have a bad weekend and miss the cut, give us (KETV) a call and we’ll show you the city!”
Alex Prugh missed the cut.
He was fifth on the money list.
Other top money-list players also missed the cut. Kevin Johnson (2), Roger Tambellini (3) and Cameron Percy (6) are done.
Kevin Johnson was supposed to golf with us in Tuesday’s practice round instead of Prugh, but Johnson teed off ahead of us. We interviewed Tambellini after his practice round.
But we never even said a word to Percy.
That’s all on him.
