Yet somehow he is not a major celebrity and each year when he returns to the Open, he is not ranked among the elite group of favorites. This is not a bad thing.
Fame is overrated.
A little respect wouldn't be bad, though. I don't know what you have to do to be a notable . When SportsCenter showed highlights of Tiger Woods winning the Memorial last weekend, Janzen was again not listed among the other notables. As defending champion for next week's U.S. Open at Pinehurst, Janzen is sure to get his share of attention. Check out the pre-tournament predictions, though, and you'll no doubt see a heavy load of Woods, David Duval, Ernie Els and Justin Leonard, and probably not much Janzen.
