I should be holidaying, I worked my arse off this year and they setup a course like this !!!!!".

Maybe replace choke with "no interest".... IMHO of course.

A choke is when they collapse in the last round when in contention to win.

Yesterday he didn't play well on a course that doesn't suit him.

Scott has an American game of high, long and soft. Never seems to go well in the wind, or on hard, fast greens.

We have the same debate here that we have for the US Open almost every year. The purists like to see players struggling for pars, and the only way they can do it is by tricking up the greens.

Can't see the point myself.... I sat and watched every painful moment of yesterday's telecast, and it wasn't entertaining seeing top players struggle... it really wasn't. I would much rather the course set up a little easier and birdies being made, than hearing commentators raving about "Moonah showing its teeth" and "only 4 holes are averaging under their par". :roll:

Why does the AGU shoot themselves in the foot like this every year.... :?

I've hardly watched any of it so far. Been at work. But the half an hour I've seen today dosen't inspire me to go play golf. If I want to watch guys chip balls clear across a green I'll go down to my club.

I just don't understand why overseas players aren't attracted to the thought of coming over and shooting +12 in farcical conditions every year. :roll:
