Canizares won seven times on the European tour between 1972 and 1992 and played on four Ryder Cup teams. He was 35th here in 1997 and 22nd last year. He's a very good friend of mine also. It was unusual, maybe lucky. Spain is not a big country.
People are lucky to work for food.
Any player in any country, winning big tournaments is good for that country. Canizares, who said he has known Olazabal since the latter was a year old, came to Florida from The Tradition in Scottsdale, Ariz., the week before the Masters and watched the fabled tournament on television while staying close to the beach here. The second round of the 60th annual PGA Seniors is scheduled Friday, after which the 144-player field will be cut to the low 70 and ties. The last two rounds will be played Saturday and Sunday.
