When you come to think of it that is the secret of most of the great holes all over the world. They all have some kind of a twist. C.B. MACDONALD
Rickie Visited The King To Explain His Scheduling Conflict
/After some early week conjecture about America's top players passing up a chance to play before Arnold Palmer, "word trickled" out according to ESPN.com's Bob Harig that Rickie Fowler visited Palmer to apologize for not entering the API.
The news was confirmed reluctantly, as the idea to drive to Orlando from West Palm Beach and have lunch with Palmer was not meant to generate any publicity, but to simply do what Fowler felt was the right thing and express his reasons for having to pass due to a scheduling conflict. It was an incredible gesture, and showed an impressive level of understanding.
Or he just missed eating at Bay Hill?
I suppose this and Bubba's gesture should be admired, but why not just play the tournament? Take a helicopter. That's what the Shark would have done.
**Rickie's conflict: had to get to Texas early.

But as Tim Rosaforte first reported on Morning Drive and Dave Shedloski reports for GolfDigest.com, Arnold Palmer is no longer going to hit the opening tee shot. But he still intends to be present.
