None of the guys on the list may be a fluke, but looking back at their careers I would put Lyle below the rest of the Euros. Maybe I did not watch enough international tournaments. What foreign player on that list would you put below Lyle career wise? What US player would you put below Lyle career wise? Stadler?

Kev, this has been bothering me for a long time, when Fuzzy made his infamous remarks regarding Tiger, I noticed he had a drink in his hand, and it probably wasn't a diet Coke... No one has ever mentioned the possibility that he was "impaired" when he made those statements..

Fuzzy never met a highball he didn't like...

Here's another thing that bothers me, and is the reason why I end up taking a nap most of the time when watching golf on TV, is there anything less interesting than watching someone prepare to putt (reading the green, etc...). I love golf as much as anyone, but this I can't take.

filling time more than anything. I hate it soley for the reason that every hack that cant play a lick sees these guys on TV do it....so they think they have to do it when they are out playing. When in reality....Helen Keller could read greens better than most golfers...

THAT is somehow comforting to me......
