Be interesting to see what happens with Ryder Cuppers.

'Bout time Sergio starts taking a beating for not winning a major. I followed him a bit when WGC was here -- he knocks it stiff all day and putts poorly -- hate to use the 'y' word on such a young man, but I think he's got the yips.

Maybe he just doesn't putt well because he isn't a great putter. Seemed like he y'd worse on the waggles a few years ago. Maybe it is the y word. But I don't get how if you are a mediocre ball striker and a hell of a putter you get credit for being scrappy or a scrambler or a great putter. If you are a good ball striker and not a good putter, you get the y word or the choker label. Some people go so far as to say putting should be eliminated or whatevr. I think this kind of cheapens putting skill in that people just assume you should be able to putt if you can hit it. Golf has always been a blend of skills and players had strengths and weaknesses. For a long time people asked what would happen if a guy put it all together, size, strength, power, accuracy, short game, putting, mental game. We have that in Tiger. Sergio is lacking some in his mental game to be sure given some of the whining he does. So maybe he y's. Maybe he is just an incomplete player tho.
