Well, what a tournament! You have to take your hats of to Rocco and he can take solice in one way; he lost to the best player to ever live. Unreal, Tiger adds another.
CHEERS!

Is it just me or does this weeks Players Championship, which most consider the 5th major, have a very lacklustre feeling minus the presence of a certain phenomena? Heading into the final round this weekend, the only name of real significance is Sergio Garcia, who has been up and down all week long. Phil Mickelson is also hanging around four strokes back, but without a miraculous final round by Ol’ Lefty, this Players Championship will go down as the most boring ever.
It just goes to show you what Tiger means to the PGA and how they owe him so much in bringing the sport of golf to heights never imaginable. For a while it looked like the young man, Anthony Kim, the winner of last weeks tournament might take a real run at the tournament, but after a third round 79, we can forget that. As you can see, when a tournament of this stature is missing Tiger Woods, it is missing so much more as well.
It just seems to me that the PGA is putting all their eggs in one basket so to speak. In my humble opinion, they are going to have to look into this area soon or the hype the game has got over the past decade will be lost. It will be very interesting to see the viewer’s numbers from this past championship. Something tells me they will be lower than they have in years.
Your thoughts?
