Nice hole at #11 for Charles Howell...nothing like the entire world internet audience watching you take 4 shots to get out of a bunker and take the quintuple bogey 9...

Sad doesn't have to mean crying, sad can also mean dissappointing, etc...

I actually kind of agree with this sentiment. There was an article several years ago (close to ten years by now) in SI about him, and he was just an absolute dick. |

Norman once was one of my heroes. But I have worked as a volunteer at Muirfield for a number of years and it seems that every year I hear a new story about what a jerk he can be.
Great golfer, but less than a nice guy. |

In here late with favorites, but Els, Goosen, Furyk and Curtis. Seeing Furyk celebrating at the 2002 NC game made me a lifelong fan but I really want to see Ernie get this one right. A really nice guy who is doing some really good work for disadvantaged people with his foundation, quietly and without seeking any recognition for it.
Els owns a huge house on the beach a couple of hours from here. His mom and dad live two doors away and we rented a cottage in-between the two. With my accent, everyone thought I must be a US pro golfer. Kept my clubs in the bag, no sense in spoiling it for them!

Funny you mention that. Norman was my favorite golfer when I was in sixth grade and I went to the Memorial with one goal in mind, get Norman's autograph. After his round I was waiting for him right at the entrance to the range. I was one of a small crowd (five people maybe) and he walked by with a human wall of police surrounding him and didn't acknowledge any of us. Since that day I've hated the prick. One of my most joyous moments watching the Masters came in 96 when he choked. I still get enjoyment when I think about it.

Were you referring to Duval, Norman, or both? | |
