Ernie Els, No. 7 is out. Colin Montgomerie, No. 6 is out. If this were the NCAA tournament, we'd be talking incredible upsets. Well, probably more than the players because the players all know the rankings are pretty silly. This isn't tennis, you know, where if a 6-seed gets beaten by another 60th seed, it is a big shock.
Golf is different one day to the next.
Every player is different one day to the next. Billy Ray Brown was ranked 26th in the word and gave Tiger Woods all he could handle. He could have gotten him. Golf is a different sport, and that is why ranking golfers is not really a great idea to exempt them to tournaments, in my opinion. There should be another criteria.
