"Some chose to show their petulance and selfishness and go home."

Tough love from Jim McCabe for those who WD'd last week because of Quail Hollow's awful greens.

Though I think players already in Ponte Vedra passing on the World Golf Hall Of Fame ceremony involving Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples are in a lower category.

Anyway, McCabe writes in his notes column:

Forgetting that the folks behind the Wells Fargo Championship had for 10 years put on a world-class tournament with tens of millions of dollars spent and endless hours contributed by volunteers, some chose to show their petulance and selfishness and go home. Some merely looked at the greens and headed to the exits, clubs never leaving the car trunk.

Embarrassing.

To belabor the handful who showed so little class to Wells Fargo folks who deserved better is to overlook the multitude of those who did do the right thing. Phil Mickelson. Rory McIlroy. Rickie Fowler. Lee Westwood. Lucas Glover. Charles Howell III. Nick Watney. Webb Simpson. Pat Perez. Bo Van Pelt. Those are just some of the names on a lengthy list of players who were able to give tournament officials a “free pass,” as Mickelson said, as a way of thanking them for staging such a brilliant tournament all these years.
