I like Vijay, I like him a lot. He's the proverbial underdog that through perseverance and practice has made it to the very, very top. Imagine it for a moment, a 42 year old Fijian being the world's top golfer.

So my two-penneth is like this:

1. I think the Vijay story is wonderful; he was a club-pro in Borneo at one point. Hopefully his story is inspirational to kids who want to play golf but are not from wealthy backgrounds where parents are members of a club. It can only make golf a richer experience.

2. Yes it was 20 years ago and never proven but the media still like to bring it up. The standards of honesty and integrity in golf are second to no other sport I've played. Indeed in a lot of professional sports "cheating" is now an inherent part of the game and even coached. If it were my livelihood on the line I'd agonise about it but I'd do it - it would mean just too much, after all it wasn't a Pro-Am put on for TV.

3. The way I see it as a Brit is that the USPGA doesn't think golf exists outside of the US. I think Ernie Els may second that opinion given the letter they recently sent him "encouraging" him to play more events in the US. We see identi-kit US college golfers playing identi-kit US courses day in day out. If it wasn't for the likes of Vijay then I really think that interest in golf would wane.
