HONOLULU — There was a time when his cups runneth over. Palmer Cup. Walker Cup. Ryder Cup.
And his career? Did that appear ready to taketh off?
Hard to argue otherwise, given that in 2010, his fifth year on tour, Jeff Overton piled up more than $3.4m. By the close of 2011, Overton didn't have a win in 160 tournaments, but there were 21 tops 10s, four of them seconds, three of them thirds, and most unforgettable was the time in 2010 when Stuart Appleby closed with 59 to steal away a Greenbrier victory that was in Overton’s hands.
