......a really stupid mistake by a (still) young man, who is just another in the new generation of pros who get their backsides wiped for them everywhere they go and have never had to think about anything.

The Palmers, Players, Sneads etc etc all had to work hard to make their careers, and to get to the stage where they were financially secure took some of them many years. Paying your dues, I think its called. These young guys today get feted by colleges up and down the US and after that get handed a nice big fat sponsorship deal and are pretty much made straight away.

I'm surprised it was Sergio though, there was a lot made about the influence of his father in the early days of his career and how he had instilled good manners and discipline in his son, but that might have just been a bit of Page Ranking spin.

And if its two 18 1/2-9 1/2 with 11 men and a boy, imagine if we had 12 men!!!!
