The Red Pens Of Ponte Vedra...
/...sounds like a children's story? Actually, it is in a sense.
Now read this clip from Doug Ferguson's AP game story from the Target World Challenge.
Woods was surprised to hear that Daly didn't earn a single paycheck over $100,000 this year, although he can understand given the distractions he had off the golf course.
On the eve of the Buick Invitational, Daly got word that his wife, Sherrie, was on her way to prison to serve a five-month sentence. She was indicted a week after giving birth to their first child, and eventually pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to structure a transaction to evade reporting requirements involving an alleged drug and gambling ring.
Then came the nagging injuries, first to his back, then to ligaments in his left hand, ultimately a broken pinky on his left hand when he was trying to make compensations for his grip.
"Just the injuries killed me this year," Daly said. "That stretch in June or July with my back when I had that sciatic nerve for six or seven weeks, I tried to play and couldn't play. That cost me six, seven, eight tournaments. Later in the year, my pinkie broke. Just been a year with a lot of injuries. It was just one thing after another."
Then came what Sherrie Daly's lawyer described as a "race to the courthouse." She filed on Oct. 17, he filed the next day.
"We're trying to work it out," Daly said. "I think we will."
He thought about seeking a minor medical exemption to help win back his card, but only would have received two tournaments to get that done and opted to take his chances asking for sponsor's exemptions.

Well, you know how the Internet is. Space constraints.
