BLOOD IN THE WATER. WITH Tryon having such a rough round yesterday, it was a foregone conclusion that the "I told you so" crowd would come running. Scott Bordow's article contins a few gems: Forget that Tryon probably isn't good enough to compete on Tour. Eh? Based on one round? The media critize Tryon for not having the patience to wait a few years until he's older to turn pro, and they can't even contain themselves to make a judgement on his abilities after one lousy round?



Why not follow the lead of Woods and Phil Mickelson, who went to college and are having their cake, too. But why not follow the lead of Kobe Bryant, who skipped college and now has more cake than he knows what to do with. If you are going to argue that he should have gone to college instead, at least come up with a better argument than he'll miss out on all the fun.



If Tryon is the talent everyone says he is, the money will always be there. If there are concerns that Tryon's earnings power will never be higher than now, when he's white-hot, then he's out here for the wrong reasons If he was out there for the money, don't you think he'd have skipped the Honda Classic and taken the $1.95 million offered to him to show up in Dubai (originally reported to be $1 million)?
