Obviously, the writer neither plays golf nor is he a student of the game. In addition, the writer did not do a lick of research which would have turned up the fact that Mr. Curtis was the first to arrive at the course early the previous week, played more practice rounds on the course than anyone else and eagerly sought "local knowlege" from course officials while practicing. The winner deserved to win.
Aren't we all getting sick and tired of professional bull$hit artists writing the "news"? Even golf isn't safe from these clymers.
