[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 130402"] Hazy, whenever Tiger gets within five shots, they keep rattling on about how he is making a serious challenge for the Championship. They don't mention anyone else who almost might have moved up to five behind unless they press harder like Stricker. I am most definitely not exaggerating. And yes, you can reel off a succession of guys up and coming in the USA's ranks, and yes, many of them have recently won opens, Masters, etc...but did they make a mark in last years Ryder Cup?! Did they **** mate and you know it! You simply cannot have a fixation on one player for too long because it simply starts fouling up the process of developing the rest of the team! Other team mates start to rely too much on the guy, other team mates start to slack off because they think Woods will pick up said slack, other team mates get jealous and fall off the pace because they ask themselves what is the point if Woods is getting all the attention. You see, you have allot of other problems that happen if you focus too much on one guy when you should be focusing on the team as a whole like we do with the European team. You've completely failed to factor in anything like that. I am all for ESPN, Fox sports, etc following Woods and his face-like-a-smacked-arse (I've never seen him smile while out on the course) and yes, he is a superb player, but I'd just wish that the BBC exercise their urban legend known as "impartiality" and quit things like having some woman follow him around Carnoustie links and commenting on everything he does. That is just overkill, simply overkill. Not even ITV had a guy following Micheal Schumacher's every move neither did Channel 4 have a guy checking up on Shane Warne or Steve Waugh, so why exactly should Woods have his own damn media entourage?
