"I made $750,000 for finishing second … but instead of going home and closing the 2005 PGA tour season on a high note, I went straight to Vegas," he writes. "My first stop was the new Wynn Las Vegas casino, where they have this $5000 slot machine. Within an hour and a half, I was down $600,000. There went all that hard work against Tiger.
"Next I went over to Bally's. Got a $600,000 line. Won about $175,000 and took it back over to that damned $5000 machine. It owed me big-time. But I didn't hit shit on it. Got another $600,000 line from Wynn. Lost it in two hours on that $5000 slot. Back to Bally's, where I won another $80,000, then tried dialling down to the $100 slots, looking for a little streak so I could pay down some of what I owed.
"No dice: in less than five hours, I lost $1.65 million. So much for finishing the 2005 PGA tour season on a high note.
