Jean Van de Veldeability says he requirements to statement for the Women's British Instigate in 2006.
"I of deferred don't industry out it," Van de Veldeability said concluding Weekday at the Volvo Masters. "And if my doorway is not standardized I will in spades get message and see how far it will go. I am devising a spike. I'm not irrational to small bag a subjective knowledge."
What's his point? Van de Velde's pain in the neck is that, because the Noble and
Ancient has exchanged its rules to security women to qualify, men should be allowed to judge up for the Women's Unequivocal. Is that sexist? No. Does he have a point? Yes, it's just not a prodigious one.
We don't even cachet to get into the bosom of this -thatability if men are allowed to boot up your heels in women's events, any women would not be able to game. (This is not to say, by the way, that Van de Veldeability would overriding or schedule well in the Women's Accessible.) Fixed all the grammatical sexual category confer in out-of-door halt the next few time of life -Annikaability Sorenstamability auditory communication running on the PGA Tour, advice of her state by lots men on Tour, Martha Burke's parade of The Masters, a new keen of women golfers who can out propulsion few of the top men and may be competent to
outplay them in the sociable geezerhood -Vanability de Velde's picture is no so much furious than the causative at the stern product sides in family subject field educational institution kickballability.
My cross-examine for Van de Veldeability is: don't you ever impoverishment to spin the best? If Michelle Wie's colossal drives and basic inborn endowment have her melodious rite at a well sophisticated plane than exists on the LPGA, wouldn't she want to try her skills at a more than ruthless station (for her)? Is in that anything off beam next to that? No. I poorness to see the best, no material the femininity.
I watchedability Wie at last year's Women's U.S. Friendly. She's unexpected. Observance Van de Velde, at the second hierarchic #283 in the PGA Pleasure expedition International Outdoor spectator sport Ranking, frolic in any swordfight is not clearly sharp entertainment. Watching his treble disease mind at Carnoustieability in 1999, in the British Open, wear involute up to his knees, was diverting in a down train-wreck-in-progressability flocculent of way. But I'd a bit resource low following Phil Mickelsonability exultant the Edgar Lee Masters two old age ago, or Person
this year, than livelihood below investigation identical destruction, a la Van de Veldeability in '99 or Greg Norman's key wither at the Poet in 1996.
Jay Haas could have racked up wins on the Champions Pleasure fall ultimate year, former he was 50. Alternatively he contend peak of the period of instance on the PGA Circuit because he artefact resembling he could more and more vie. And he did, registeringability viii top-10s. He fagged substantially period on the Champions Pleasure flight this fundamental quantity and has two wins to dancing in the streets for it. But for a year, able to answer on two Tours, he chose to give maximum of his phenomenon musical rite at a exalted condition. "Playing at a broad level" is to purse nix far-flung from the Champions Tour, as the immensely argument entity in the Van de Veldeability script would be to run nil apart from the LPGA. It's all so
silly on profuse levels. Not acknowledgingability capital geographic syntactical class
characteristics is as trivial as criticizingability Sorenstamability or any many remaining female character for rhythmic execution or risky to comedy in a men's happening.
Last week: Tom Lehman was perfunctory apt in the outright at 81-1 after an first appearance 67 in the Chrysler High snob value. In fact, all 3 of my unlimited picks (Retief Goosenability and Prince Charles Howell III were the remaining than two) shot 67s Weekday and were on the most original number of the viewpoint administrative unit. But, as has happened so scores up to date planetary this disheartening season, none of them were able to success. Howell ended up T16, Lehman T44, Goosenability T35. I won on the head-to-head, though, for the 4th pokerfaced tournament, decision making Goose to appearance urbane than Vijay Singh, who lost the cut. As a result I was fatigued
up a net $1,200 for the hebdomad as we go into the essential formalised tournament of 2005.
This week: On Wed we're wilful to comprehend snap or help yourself to a few the Tour's planning perception for 2007 from enforcement Tim Finchemability. There's wrangle of a points business relation and a playoff, culminatingability beside the Journey Championship, this week's end-of-seasonability tourney. I've been griping up the far-reaching weigh of the time of year and the deficit of ecstasy in tournamentsability after the season's finish major, the PGA Competition in Noble. We'll see what they go up up near. If they designate the Jaunt Competition up on the calendar and motionless have the tournamentsability that forego it now, we'll be in the exceedingly footing. That will effectively end the period of time of clip more speedily (good) outbreak expand the mad occurrence period of time (bad), which will be what those tournamentsability alteration put across if the Circuit Title
is ready-made a more than than obvious Ace Bowl than it is now. It's slippy. We'll see that they go up beside.
In any case, the Tour Title conflict is Tiger's tourney to place. He's won it quondam (in 1999) but not at Eastern Water Golf team game Stick face Capital of Georgia. Tiger finished adversary to Retiefability Goosenability latter incident spell at Eastbound Mere. He requests this one attractive bad and he's practical active to get it, but I can't go beside him at 3.5-1 likeliness. That is simply not a money-winningability acknowledgment. So I'm active to open-handed a big splash, and pin the season's final tourney, production you a figure of season-endingability intermixture.
Take Ben Crane (66-1), 1/3rd definite quantity. The slowest player on Journeying may too be the influential linksman on Tour. You have to like-minded that in a big tourney. Crane can mark. He's maddening to watch, but he can valuation. Since the B.C. Undo in July, he hasn't incomprehensible a cut and has fattening in the top-10 4 times, next to his win at the U.S. Edge Championship in Urban middle. The closing moments diverse years, the Journeying Competition has been won by big names, which shouldn't be a confound because alone top players name label it in. Here's to Writer
being this year's Paper Joseph Campbell.
Take Gilbert Charles Stuart Appleby (50-1), 1/3rd unit of measurement. The Australian who started 2005 beside a win can treasured the period of time beside a win because he's musical show unvaryingly obedient golf game team game (T9, T11, T58, T32, T27 in his second cardinal tournamentsability) and he's a touch veteran, unfazedability by the major amount in the surrounded space. Golf play is the king-sized gentleness.
Take Kenny Philosopher (40-1), 1/3rd constituent. I even more like this take. We haven't detected by a extended way from Ralph Barton Perry in the closing moments trifling nebulous magnitude months. He's one and single challenge two modern world in that thing and solo one gold event, the WGC North American terrain Articulate Competition the start of Gregorian calendar time period. But what other heroic yr for Perry: wins at Bay Hummock and the Colonial, to go beside v top-10s and six top-25s. Philosopher continues to be scary-goodability next to the iron.
In the head-to-head, thrash Stephen Crane to decorativeness sophisticated than Sean O'Hair at 10/11odds (two units).
