The Players

Just finished watching the Players...and a few thoughts. First, Paul Goydos showed extreme sportsmanship over the last four days. The guys was always upbeat and had a smile on his face, even when he made a bogey. He played his heart out for four days and had a put to win the thing at 18. That was a tough putt to make and knowing that a bogey gets him to a playoff, I was not suprised that he hit it a little short. So he goes to 18, and unfortunately the wind kicks up and he hits it in the water. The ball was right on line..it just balloned up into the wind and it came up a bit short. Sergio then steps up and hits it stiff. Goydos showed a true respect for the game and his fellow competitors in his comments to Roger Maltbie. The guy is all class. I don' t want to bash Sergio, but the first thing he should have said was to mention Goydos and what a first class guy he is. But no, what does he do instead, he starts thanking Taylor Made and mentioning their new wind ball and his Burner driver. Has golf turned into NASCAR? That was very disappointing to see. The only reason Sergio even mentioned Goydos in his talk with Bob Costas is because Costas continued to mention him and Sergio finally realized, hey, may I should mentioned the classiest guy in golf. I really wanted Goydos to win, simply because he is a good guy, and good things should happen to good people.
