"That could be a stress fracture. I'm afraid you forfeit. Right Lou?" "Right Judge. Unless you let him have a substitute." "Uh, Spalding can play out his holes." "I think we get to pick our subsititute Judge. We'll take Danny Noonan."
How about, at long bloody last, giving this shoeless, shirtless genius a run at it? Up until yesterday, despite everything that's been going on with Woods, he was still favourite for next month's Open Championship with about half the bookies on oddschecker. As of this morning, they seem to have all seen sense. On BetFair, he's still only a 13/8 shot to make the Ryder Cup team. If Daly can't get the nod, then maybe play Jack (again, not a typo) Nicholson. His personal rules would see him through: 1. No double bogeys on the first six holes. 2. I don't gamble. But if we must gamble, I only collect, I don't pay. 3. Under pressure, I'll cheat ya. 4. Any green in regulation, the second putt is called goo-oo-ood.
I believe in the old fashioned way. Let someone EARN the spot. And I support Capt. Azinger's preference for PGA tour winners of tournaments.
I still don't understand why he needs to be replaced. Did he die?
Tiger + Ryder Cup = "thanks Americans, that'll be three or four points from the first two days". The best European surgeons are being drafted in to accelerate his recovery.
John Daly appears to be focused anew on climbing the world rankings and filling in for the debilitated Mr. Woods. Nothing says, "I'm trying to get sober and make a comeback" better than partnering in the Buick Open pro-am with Kid Rock. I live in MI, and the local news claims that Daly and Kid are pre-partying before their round at the Rock estate.
I still don't understand why he needs to be replaced. Did he die? His year is done because of his knees/legs being trashed and requiring surgery. Where ya been?
But he's not dead, right? Right?
For Tiger to die would entail him being human which, up until the last few weeks, wasn't a sure thing!
I think all we learned is that Tiger's knees are human.
