THANKS TO HUEY FOR SENDING IN this Korean article about Tryon playing on the Asian Tour (its in English). The article was written back in May when Ty played in the same event as Michelle Wie.

Tryon is now missing more than his share of fairways and greens, not to mention cuts. Last week, he shot 82-74, missing the cut by 12 strokes - and 17 shots behind Wie. More telling was his general lackadaisical attitude. In the first round, on the par-5 third hole, Tryon pulled his tee shot, and it landed among rocks. He just shrugged, and told his fiance not to worry. He went on to bogey the hole. That could have been the sign that either he had his emotions under control or, quite simply, he didn't care.

"and admitted he wasn't as adept at handling the attention that came his way"

It's an incredible story, one I used to joke about. Now, I really hope that he can pull it together and find redemption.

The comment about "his general lackadaisical attitude" confirmed what I had been thinking, that 'shooting 80's in mini tours is almost like he's not trying 100%'. Cause everybody knows he's better than a bunch of 80's and MC's in mini tour events.

By what measure? His World Ranking is over 1,000 - and even that is misleading because he has amassed ZERO points this year.

I wish that were true - but he has pretty much stunk it up since the day after he earned his tour card. And back then, he had plenty of people telling him he was good.

Ty should just hang in there and get through this stage of his life. He will be fine and I will be pulling for him.
