Scott told me this story after his round today. I hope I get all of the information straight but if not, I am so sorry.

While warming up this morning Scott's proam partner, Ken, asked to take one of his balls out of his bag to show his son. Scott of course agreed. Ken showed his son and came back to tell him this story...
Ken said that he was married to the greatest woman in the world for 28 years and 2 1/2 years ago she lost the battle with colon cancer. Ken's wife went for her yearly exam and was given three months to live. During that time she started a newsletter. Her goal was to show people that God could show himself through tough situations. After ever letter they signed with the verse, Phil 4:13, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.'
Today, Ken told Scott that he knew that he was playing with him for a reason.
Ken and his wife's newsletter ended up reaching over 100,000 people before she ended her 26 month battle.
Ken said that he knew yesterday that he was suppose to play with Scott and that Scott would be an encouragement to him.

What do you say to that? Scott said that he had to run to the bathroom to fight off the tears. He also told Josh, his caddy, that they will win this week for Ken.
