Thursday Reads

Jerry Potter in the USA Today wonders how the Wie's are able to afford their summer of travel and golf. Lots of fun spin from the characters quoted. The Golf Channel's George White explains that all the fuss about Tiger's swing change ignores the likely reason: he did it to take pressure off of his bum knee.

Douglas Lowe reports that Tom Watson may have played his last Masters because of the recent course lengthening. Watson also talks about Aberdeen's setup and design. In a vintage Dan Jenkins piece for Golf Digest, he looks at what America has given golf.

Jim Seimas reports on the various forms of trickery they're going to inject into Harding Park so that the World Championship event seems like a major. Sandy Tatum gurantees the rough will be harvested in time. Can't wait. And finally, John Daly reveals that he has Ryder Cup aspirations. Apparently no one told Daly he would have to wear a jacket and tie to mandatory functions!?
