I don't think it is crazy talk to consider Boo Weekley the second most popular golfer in the country right now behind Tiger Woods.His breakout performance at the Ryder Cup just showed a larger audience what some of us golf nerds have known for a while -- that the guy can fire up a crowd faster than Nicollette Sheridan streaking through a fraternity house. The video from his appearance on The Tonight Show last week is up and, let me tell you, it's an absolute afternoon-maker.
I think a +1 is in order to the person that does scheduling for The Tonight Show. Weekley, with all the smarts of cutting your steak with a spoon, was on the same couch as Dennis Miller, one of the quicker-witted guys of our time and someone with a vocabulary that makes Webster rock in his chair. I have no idea if this was on purpose or not, but if so, I want the name of the person in charge so I can send him or her a box of very expensive chocolates.
Weekley emerged doing the same Happy Gilmore dance that he did on the first fairway at Valhalla and then went into this little story, after the jump, about losing his keys in a Port-o-Potty. Check out the interview, which is short but absolutely worth it, after the jump.

No he is not a hick he is a real person, you are a snob. If more people would be themselves this would be a far better world. You acting is what screws real life up.

I think he is great for the game of golf and PGA Tour, he shows they are real people and not a bunch of stuff shirts and elitest like they themselves had to over come. Not many people remember that orginally professional golfers were not allowed in the locker rooms and club houses at the clubs they played tournaments.

My new favorite golfer. I would rather the cameras just followed Boo around and see what he does (or says) next. I want to go drinking with this guy.

Boo did a great job in The Ryder Cup, and his playfulness and great play kept our Team loose the whole way. God Love John Daly, but this is the average golfer's new poster guy.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
