I saw it last night. It's a new PGA rule for pro-ams. Palyers MUST play in these or they are DQ'd. Harsh but they do pay alot of money to play in these events. :eek:

Apparently Goosen was hosting a cocktail party for one of his sponsors........ Grey Goose Vodka:beer: and missed his wake up call and was 13 hours late for his 6 am tee time:rofl:

Hope you all made the neccessary changes to your pools, like I did.:D

Thanks for the tip noback. I did change my pool selection but I was overzealous and took out Darren Clarke too. And the guy gets a hole-in-one! Talk about luck!
