Another giant load of HOGWASH. Why is it that EVERYONE in the media feels the needs to make excuses for Phil and WeeMac????? Are they in need of protectors or what? I don't recall a time when Tiger Woods has ever had to ask someone in the media to take care of him and make excuses for a poor performance. Seems like that is all I read about when it comes to Phil and WeeMac and sometimes G-Mac for that matter. RIDICULOUS.

It sure is......but consider this:  Weemac's golf idol = Tiger Woods.  Last year Weemac played 22+ tournaments all over the world.  And then decided two things: 

(1) He would become a member of the PGA Tour and find a home in the Jupiter area

(2) PLUS he would reduce the number of tournaments because "it's all about the majors and being ready/fresh".

Now the reality......at 23 his game is not solidified enough to go weeks without playing competitive golf and he has fallen in love with someone whose schedule is as wicked as his.  Not only is he playing a lighter schedule, but ignoring his game to pursue Carolyn. 

Trying to copycat his idol is:  A recipe for disaster rather than success.......

PS....not excuses.....just pure observation!

 

It isn't the players making the excuses as a general rule, it is the media. That is my beef. I think both Phil and WeeMac are grown men and they do not need the media to fight their battles for them or take care of them.

IMO Weemac and Figjam made statements that the press grabbed and ran with......the press didn't make up the excuses, they just promoted 'em......

I can agree with that. I found it quite ironic that Phil would be moaning about the camera phones going off while he was playing in round one of the Memorial. How many years has Tiger been putting up with that? I mean seriously. All the major players on the PGA are subject to this same distraction. They weren't singling Phil out.

Try again Wrong a Lot!

Your wasting your time on him/she
