Either golfers across the board are better today than they were in Jack's day, or they are not. You cannot have it both ways. If they are better today, than the leaderboard must have been one of the strongest ever. The fact is that the leaderboard was as strong as it could have been these days. The other fact is that americans are not winning as often as non-americans, so, it was not surprise to not see americans competing for the title. The fact is, Oosthuizen nearly shot the Open record while destroying the field. My father called me on Sunday and said, "How boring is this Open?" I replied that had it been Eldrick on top, everyone would have been saying how great the Open was. Mickelson played what may have been the greatest Master's ever this year. He was three strokes off of the tournament record, but played it on a course that is at least three strokes more difficult per round than when Eldrick set the record. The problem with golf these days is that everything has been built around Eldrick. Having any single golfer at the center of things is dangerous--for obvious reasons. I do agree, however, that ESPN running the entire tournament did not do it any favors. <snipped> > Randy David ----� RecGroups : the community-oriented newsreader : www.recgroups.com

It's an article of faith among the dittoheads/teabaggers. Right along with Obama is a citizen of Kenya, Obama is a closet Muslim, Obama is an alien from outer space, the US has the best healthcare system in the world, and all the rest of it. |
