LOSER

Ernie Els - what was all that nonsense about not
wanting to play in the requisite two out of three of the
Final Series in the Race To Dubai? Els has been a great
supporter of the European Tour over the years, but
nobody is bigger than the tour, and he played in a runof-the-mill event in America when he could and should
have been in Shanghai. You get paid a lot of money
for chasing that little white ball, Ernie - it really wasn’t
asking too much to expect you to get on a plane and
fly out to Shanghai or Turkey. Nobody missed you

WINNER

Matt Kuchar - is there a more genuine
man on Tour? Nobody has a bad word
to say about Kuchar. He deals with
triumph and disaster in precisely the
same way, seldom plays without a
smile on his face and clearly recognises
how lucky he is to be making his living
(and bucketloads of cash) by playing
this game. Kuchar is always happy to
give interviews, to sign autographs for
fans and to pose for pictures.
Tiger Woods, please take note

LOSER

Bubba Watson - is anybody else
growing a little tired of Bubba’s
antics? Yes, he won The Masters. Yes,
he produced a wondrous shot to do
so. Yes, he cried (doesn’t he always?).
But the PGA Tour doesn’t owe you
a living Bubba. Stop moaning, stop
losing your temper on the golf course
and just focus on your game.
You’ve got a God-given talent, and
it will win you more titles, but only if
you get your head sorted out
