Shane is getting stronger with each outing. He played great against Corey and now has won the most prestigious tournament in America, beating the reigning World Champ no less. Every victory adds to his confidence and his desire to win more.
Shane was my pick at the Open and he's my pick in Manila at the WPC next month. If he plays like he did this past week, he has a good chance. Many of the same players plus several of the Chinese stalwarts will be there. Also some very strong players from Vietnam will make their presence felt. The filipino and Taiwan contingents appear to be the strongest, but maybe Shane's win will bolster the confidence of the Americans.
Should be a very interesting WPC this year. I don't look for any letdown from Shane. Winning can become contagious.
