/Just had to get those out of the system. Now I can put Matt Every's pot-arrest past behind him. So can Reuters after this less-than-subtle lede:
Matt Every, who was suspended by the PGA Tour in 2010 for three months after being arrested on drug charges, birdied his last three holes to move two strokes clear in Friday's second round of the Sony Open in Hawaii.
The 28-year-old American fired a flawless six-under-par 64 at a breezy Waialae Country Club for a 10-under total of 130 and the early lead in the first full-field event of the season on the U.S. circuit.
**Thanks to reader Mark for this awkward Every post round interview with Kelly Tilghman.
Deadspin also embeds it on their site for the inevitable YouTube removal.
And even better, Mark Rolfing with an early candidate for the Yogi Berra quote of the year: "Well that was a revealing interview, but I'm not sure what it revealed."
**Doug Ferguson explains that no one seems to have an answer for what exactly happened to Every's case, but the word dismissed is not one of them.
"I don't do drugs. It was a crappy deal, man," Every said. "Wrong place, wrong time, perfect storm. And you know, I got three months out of it. It's over with. I'm not mad at the tour. They did what they had to do. I totally understand it. But it's over with."
Every said he is not a "party animal."
"I still hang out with the same people," he said. "I have great friends, man. If one of my friends likes to smoke marijuana every now and then, I'm not going to say, 'Well, you can't be my friend anymore.' Honestly, man, I know more people who smoke marijuana than who don't smoke marijuana. I know that's probably not the politically correct thing to say, but it's the truth."
Asked about the outcome of the charge, Every said he had to "stay out of trouble" for a year. One of his agents at Goal Marketing, Kevin Canning, declined comment when asked how the case was disposed.
