Mark Twain a Tiger Woods Fan

I can't help but think that either Mark Twain is a Tiger Woods fan or vice versa.

Most Twain and golf fans know the famous quote of Twain's about golf which became the title of a golf best selling book "A good walk spoiled".

Probable more famous, his quote "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

The last two weeks, Tiger, if he is a Twain fan, must feel the alignment of his life to these quotes.

I wonder as he finished play yesterday, was he hiding the same kind of comedic joy that Twain showed when he was responding to his death rumor.

Nobody can really win....

So we have the last PGA Major upon us and can anyone really leave this tournament a winner?

Lee Westwood - He won't play due to an injury which means he automatically loses without even playing. The press can only leave Whistling Straits with questions of what would have happened should he have been here. Poor guy sits home and will probably still get written about on Monday.

Phil Mickelson - The only one of the "favorites" that can possibly win and actually win. The stories are generally all good, rebound from illness, the all familiar family lines and the long path to #1 in the world. But trust me there is the loser story. I put the odds at even that at least 1 media member stomps the guy for taking so long to get to #1 and what should have been....

Tiger Woods - The guys wins and maintains #1 yet again, I bet that all the stories will have negative tilt.
- He should have won before this
- He will say something that gets twisted
- Too bad his family isn't here
- Etc.

The field - This is easy, the only story will be about why the big names lost.....

As a golf fan, I can no longer stand Monday golf news. For the last major of the year can we please read about the positives. Because when the top pro's are playing it seems the story no longer seems to be the winner but all about the "losers".

Thankfully the good news/feeling tours, Champions and LPGA are back next week
