This is a man that values his faith more than he values how the public will perceive him. He is willing to be called a fool for what he believes in. You may see foolishness. I see courage.

You're welcome to mock his faith. Yet, I have to wonder what it gains you? Are you determined to convince the world that your views are correct? Saving America from the coming Theocracy?

I wouldn't mock him for his faith. I think his expression of his faith at points was inappropriate at best, and offensive at worst.

I would have no problem with a man who prays:

Lord, let me play to the best of my ability, help me to be focused and play in the moment, and help me to have the wisdom to recognize my opportunities and the discipline to avoid the mistakes I recognize. If it be your will that I win this tournament, Lord, I thank you for your grace and will endeavor to glorify your name. It it be your will that I not win this tournament, I thank you for your grace and will endeavor to glorify your name. Amen."

But praying to God to intervene in a specific hand, to essentially bless your outcome and forsake your opponent is kinda icky.
