Default My suspicions came true

re: Tom Watson being an azzhole. Back in the mid 90's he didn't like what McCord had to say about the Master's greens so he wrote a letter to Augusta National saying McCord was much too irreverant for Augusta....McCord got booted from working there.

Now this....as I suspected..because he's an azzhole

I've been a fan of Watson for a long time...

As the Ryder Cup was underway there were reports already coming out that Watson was "too old school" and the players weren't responding to his "motivational techniques". I think since those reports the media has tried to find people that were sour on Watson.

I'm not here to defend Watson, but the article you cite has a "source saying..." but unless it was an actual US Player, I think some of the statements could have been taken out of context. Then add that the author of the original report, Bob Harig, being from ESPN I could totally see the story being sensationalized to fit ESPN's agenda.

From Graham McDowell re: Watson

“He seemed a little disconnected and aloof on the golf course when I did see him,” McDowell said. “He didn’t seem to be engaging with the players, and seemed a little distant.”

It almost seems, from everything I am reading/hearing, that Watson (privately) didn't seem that interested in being captain of the Ryder cup team and wasn't a very good one at that...

Bingo!


He should have declined and they should have aggressively went after Zinger to do it again.
