Stadler's nickname is The Walrus - for obvious reasons!

There used to be a lot more characters on the Tour but I think the competitive demands and all the TV exposure have kinda homogenized the players. Tommy Bolt, who won the Open back in the fifties, was notorious for his on-course temper and really let the expletives fly. One of the guys in the lead yesterday, Pat Perez, has had some big blow-ups on the course and they are hesitant to put him on camera. Mark Calcavecchia once smashed a driver into a cart path and pieces of it hit some spectators. And yes, Tiger has dropped an F-bomb too, famously at the Open in 2000.

As a guy Tiger doesn't do much for me. I very much admire his work ethic, his tenacity, his refuse-to-lose attitude,and the fact that has never, ever made race into a big issue.

Now Mrs Tiger on the other hand..... well, I've always had a thing for those Nordic types!

Tempers? you forgot the volcano...He won the Honda about 5 years ago & I can't remember his name. Perez has some problems as you mention.....Daly flat out makes me chuckle. I root for him always.

I admire Tiger too, but don't pull for him and you've read what I think about his physique. I like the rags to riches guys & underdogs, but the networks don't.

I could've sworn DD is a conservative too!
