Reason 5,821 why the PGA Tour's policy of not releasing any information on fines, suspensions and other disciplinary action will always be awkward, courtesy of John Strege:

Kudos to CBS for its attempt to interview Rory Sabbatini after his round on Sunday and providing the reason why he declined.

"I can tell you that we went to interview Rory and ask for a post-round interview just to ask him how he did it today," Ian Baker-Finch said. Sabbatini was the leader in the clubhouse at the time. "[He] requested we not ask about the issues he's facing at the moment and the disciplinary side of things. We mentioned that a little earlier. We said no, we needed to ask about that. So we won't be hearing from Rory just yet."

Later on in his weekend roundup, Strege poses this:

It's a worthy cause that Rory Sabbatini has embraced, stamping out slow play, but the manner in which he chooses to champion it is so unseemly that one is inclined to change positions and become an advocate of the deliberate.

Indeed, given your druthers, would you rather spend three hours playing 18 holes with the disagreeable Sabbatini or five hours playing 18 holes with the pleasant Sean O'Hair?

How about neither one?
