First Saturday Open Championship Rant

/

I'll get to this defensive golf nonsense in a moment. And let me say, Thank God for Tom Watson.

Okay, Jenkins Tweets:

Now, Ross Fisher should be commended for saying the right thing. He wants to be with his wife for the birth of his first child, announcers swoon, women cry and the world is a better place.

But let's think about the well being of the child. What would be better for his or her long term health and security?

Dad, stinking up the waiting or delivery room, or possibly winning the Open Championship?

Win the Open, and Ross/Rossette is set for life and therefore likely to be well taken care of, going to college, etc...

Pass up the Open victory chance, have dad there to witness the billionth child birth, and what good does that do the youngster? Maybe dad never gets another chance, ends up toiling on the mini-tours and the young lad grows up to work the carnival circuit picking up elephant dung? Not that's there's anything wrong with that.

But I'm just asking...
