TY SURE GETS ALOT of press coverage for a guy who has (thus far) failed as a golfer. The Palm Beach Post's most recent is Aiming for another shot.

On the Gateway Tour this year, Tryon has made three of 21 cuts since January, none since February. A 69 Tuesday matched his best round of the year but still left him well off the cut line. "I'm not playing too good," Tryon said, "not getting good results. But I'm getting better. I'm just struggling with my putter and making big numbers every round. "I'll get back (to the PGA Tour) eventually. I know I will. If it's not this year, it'll be next year. I definitely have a lot more stability in my life now. I feel better about it in general, just being a pro golfer."

His quotes here are good news. Everything is pretty upbeat and he doesn't sound like a guy ready to quit.

A former student at the David Leadbetter Academy, Tryon now goes it alone, without a swing coach. He's currently inspired by Ben Hogan's book, Five Lessons. "I love it," he said.

IS TAD FUJIKAWA repeating Ty Tryon's mistake by turning pro at age 16? This kid has less game than Tryon had at the time he turned pro - which means this is either another disaster waiting to happen, or it'll work out just fine since its a very different situation.
