Well its great to see Tiger back into winning mode. It just seems wrong when he is not in the final paring on Sundays, or ugg, when he missed a cut
Everybody, almost, seems to benefit when Tiger is winning - TV ratings go way up, and his marketting gig [Pontiac etc] does better too. Perhaps not his opponents, unless they are just content to place 2nd and call it a victory over the rest of the field.
I gotta say that Michelson's most recent collapse isn't making me sad. "Fatty Michelson" just seems to have an attitude I can't enjoy. Today he is +17 or so on day one. He will miss this cut, I don't feel sad about that at all.
Mike Wier is the one I watch most closely when he is on the leaderboard. He can get it done, it is great to see it when he does.
The only complaint I have is about the world's best loved drunk, John Daly. When he was on the Telus Skins match this week, the microphones were clearly picking up his chatter. Out on the fairway he tells Sergio "Well, I can beat you at DRINKING" , and then later on "I would be winning if I were DRUNK".
Ya ya John, we know you are battling that addiction to alcohol, and it has become your trademark, but nobody gets any "golf credits" for being sober when you are making millions playing golf... no boozer handicap in pro sports John... And its kind of insulting to his opponents when he suggest that "I can beat you when I am drunk".
But I do give him credit for being sober - any addiction is real tough and he isn't playing drunk. I hope.
Those guys are good, no doubt about that {well, maybe Fatty ain't so great as HE would like to think he is].
