HONOLULU, Hawaii - The advice has been passed along for decades on the PGA Tour, and Matt Kuchar believes it has merit.

Jackson Jersey . He just doesnt like it.Call it the 80-20 equation.I
remember coming out and guys telling me youre going to make 80 per cent of your
money in 20 per cent of your starts, Kuchar said. The idea was basically youre
going to get hot a couple of times, and thats what you wait for. And it makes
sense. Youre going to get hot and then peter off a little bit.Scott Stallings
would be an extreme example. He won the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines
last year, and that was his only finish in the top 30. One week turned out to be
79 per cent of his season earnings.A more typical example: FedEx Cup champion
Billy Horschel.Horschel had a hot streak in the spring of 2013 when he was
runner-up in Houston, tied for third in San Antonio and won in New Orleans in a
span of four starts. He didnt really heat up again for another 18 months.
Horschel had only two top 10s on the PGA Tour and missed seven cuts until he
stepped into a phone booth and emerged as guy who couldnt be beat. He threw away
a chance to win in Boston, and then won the next two FedEx Cup playoff
events.His tally for the year was $4.8 million to finish at No. 7 on the money
list, and that doesnt include the $10 million bonus for winning the FedEx Cup. A
closer look at Horschels season last year makes him a candidate for the 80-20
club.He made roughly 80 per cent of his season earnings in 19 per cent of his
starts.So maybe there is some truth to it.You get hot, you make your money in
five or six tournaments. You make 80 per cent in 20 per cent of your starts,
J.B. Holmes said. Ive been hearing that for years.Holmes won 82 per cent of his
money in 25 per cent of his starts, including a victory in the Wells Fargo
Championship.Kuchar used to be one of those guys. He also won roughly 82 per
cent of his money from 25 per cent of his tournaments in 2009. Those days are
gone. Kuchar has turned into one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour.
In the last five years, he has missed only eight cuts in 121 tournaments. He has
48 top 10s during that stretch, a rate of 40 per cent.Just like anyone else,
Kuchar had a hot streak last year. In four straight weeks, he lost a chance to
win the Texas Open with a 75 in the final round, he lost in a playoff in Houston
when Matt Jones chipped in from 100 feet. He was in the mix at the Masters early
on Sunday and tied for fifth. And then he won Hilton Head. After that, he was
back to the consistent brand of golf. He never finished out of the top 20 in
more than two straight starts.Kuchar won 81 per cent of his money in 42 per cent
of his tournaments. He likes that ratio much better.The streaky way is
stressful, Kuchar said. The golf I play ... you could watch me play a round of
golf and its pretty stress free. I dont do any crazy things. I dont make a ton
of birdies, but I dont make a lot of bogeys, either. Its been a lot nicer the
last five or six years.Would he trade it for a $10 million bonus and one more
victory?I dont think Id trade with Billy Horschel, he said.He loved the
consistent play of Steve Stricker until his 2014 season was disrupted by
injuries and the death of his brother. He loves the way Jim Furyk played last
year. Furyk didnt win, but he gave himself plenty of chances. Winning is hard.
Furyk earned 81 per cent of his money in 38 per cent of his starts.Rory McIlroy,
the best benchmark in golf right now, won 81 per cent of his tour-leading $8.2
million in 41 per cent of his starts.Kuchar is all about opportunities, though
hes willing to make an exception. Bubba Watson went through a 22-month drought
without winning from the 2012 Masters until Riviera last year, and then he added
another green jacket.Id trade with Bubba, Kuchar said. It would be streaky, but
youd throw a Masters in there.Geoff Ogilvy is another guy who has heard all
about the 80-20 equation, and he believes it to be accurate in most cases.Its
probably true for 80 per cent of the players, Ogilvy said, adding to the math.
Guys like Tiger and Jack, and Jim and Kuchar, they make money in all their
tournaments. So theres probably 80 per cent of the players who make 80 per cent
of their money in 20 tournaments.Winning is still the ultimate. Ask any of the
34 players at Kapalua to start the year. Even so, most players would take a
steady diet of contention and take their chances.I would rather contend every
week and win a lot, too. Can you have that one? Ogilvy asked.Tiger Woods managed
that for the better part of 15 years. Hes a different animal.The most fun is
contention, Ogilvy said. Its not fun propping up fields. I dont do this to
finish 40th and have no excitement. The happiest I am on the course is in
contention. Id rather be that guy.

have overtaken the Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder for the number one
ranking.LONDON -- Eugenie Bouchards historic run at Wimbledon is over, but she
thinks shes just getting started. Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic beat
Bouchard 6-3, 6-0 on Saturday in the womens final to claim her second Wimbledon
title, ending an impressive run by the 20-year-old Canadian at the All England
Club. No Canadian had ever reached a Grand Slam singles final in the Open era
before Bouchard. "It was a big moment walking out on to centre court for a
final. I have that experience now, I know what it feels like," said Bouchard. "I
hope I can walk out to many more finals. Thats the goal. "Im going to go back,
work on my game, try to get better. You always need to get better." Bouchard,
from Westmount, Que., is currently ranked 13th in the world, seven positions
below Kvitova. She will rise to seventh when the WTA standings are updated after
Wimbledon. She beat Germanys Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 in the quarter-final
before topping Romanias Simona Halep 7-6 (5), 6-2 in the semis. The success at
Wimbledon comes after a breakthrough season last year. Bouchard reached the
semifinals at the Australian Open and French Open earlier this season. "I think
its a tough road to try and become as good as I want to be, no matter what,"
said Bouchard. "Im not going to win every single time. I think this was a good
experience for me -- my first Slam final -- so Im going to learn a lot from this
match and hopefully use it to get much better." Bouchard was overwhelmed by
Kvitova, who added a second to her first from 2011. Watching from the Royal Box
was Britains Princess Eugenie, the royal for whom the Canadian was named. "Tough
loss today at Wimbledon, but youre an inspiration (at)geniebouchard & Canada
couldnt be more proud of you," said Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a tweet.
Kvitova, her right thigh heavily wrapped as it was through the two-week
tournament, quickly took charge of the match. She handcuffed Bouchards attacking
game with a strong offence of her own, putting the Canadian under pressure on
every service game with break point. "I have to give full credit to my opponent,
she played unbelievable," said Bouchard. "I know I wont win every match but I
want to be as good as I can be. This was a good experience and something I will
learn from. I can hopefully use it to get better." Bouchard was broken in the
third and seventh games to fall to a 5-2 deficit. She showed her own form by
breaking back for 3-5 affter Kvitova netted after chasing Bouchards cross-court
shot.

Jackson Titans Jersey. . Despite Bouchards resistance, Kvitova wrapped up
the first set in less than 30 minutes on a third set point. Kvitova picked up
where she left off to start the second set with a break of Bouchard for 2-0.
With the experienced Czech keeping up a lethally rapid pace, there was little
time for Bouchard to react. Bouchard missed on a return at her feet to trail 4-0
as Kvitova took a stranglehold on the match. The Czech dished out a love game
for 5-0 and finished off the title performance on her first match point with a
deeply angled backhand cross-court winner after 55 minutes on court. It has been
a strong tournament for other Canadians as well. Vancouvers Vasek Pospisil and
American Jack Sock beat Bob and Mike Bryan of the United States in a thrilling
7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 victory to win the mens doubles final Saturday.
Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., made it to the mens singles semifinal before
losing to seven-time champion Roger Federer of Switzerland in straight sets. The
last Canadian to reach a mens final four at a major was Robert Powell at
Wimbledon in 1908, according to Tennis Canada. Montreal native Greg Rusedski
reached the U.S. Open final in 1997 but he was representing Great Britain at
that time. Defending mixed doubles champions Daniel Nestor of Toronto and French
partner Kristina Mladenovic will play a semifinal match against Max Mirnyi of
Belarus and Hao-Ching Chan of Taiwan. Bouchard has done well at the All England
Club in the past. She won the Wimbledon girls title in 2012, becoming the first
Canadian to win a junior Grand Slam in singles. "I love coming back to
Wimbledon, so thank you, guys," said Bouchard at centre court immediately after
the match to a loud round of applause from the fans in attendance Saturday. Last
year at Wimbledon, Bouchard won her second-round match against former world No.
1 Ana Ivanovic in straight sets before she was eliminated in the third round by
Carla Suarez Navarro. Kvitova defeated Bouchard in straight sets in their lone
previous meeting last year at the Rogers Cup in Toronto. Bouchard said she will
return to Montreal to decompress after the Wimbledon final. "Ill take some time
off -- much deserved, Ive been playing a lot of tennis at a high level
recently," said Bouchard. "Ill take time for the mind and body and then hit the
practice court again and get excited for the second half of the season."
