Jason “Make My” Day! Click here for leaderboard.
Not since 1996 and Greg Norman has an Aussie been on top of the leaderboard going into the weekend. We love our Aussie friends and it would be great to see a winner from down under.
How ’bout the 14-year old kid, Tianlang Guan, making the cut? Even more impressive was his response to being assessed a penalty for slow play. “A rule is a rule.” No whining. Unlike us westerners who have a sense entitlement, the rules don’t apply to us and are made to broken. That, friends, is what amazes us most about the Asian culture. No sense of entitlement. Look how Japanese society handled the tsunami.
The equipment makers must be drooling over the kid from China. Imagine if 300 million Chinese begin to pick up the sticks! By the way, Callaway Golf dropped 6 percent today on analyst downgrades saying the company will be hurt by the weaker Japanese Yen. Or was it Phil’s 4 over par? Ain’t markets efficient?
