Justin Rose won The Memorial Tournament on Sunday. As he nailed the putt to take home his first victory on U.S. Soil, the great Jim Nantz honored Roses’ performance with a quote from Bette Midler. I wish I could make this stuff up.
Here is exactly what Nantz quoted:
“This is the putt that wrapped it up. And what’s that Bette Midler song? How does that go? Think about his journey here.
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long ”¦
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun’s love
in the spring
becomes the rose”
I wouldn’t have guessed that he was a Bette Midler fan, at all
