Who Said This?
“My goal next year is to probably get to No. 1.” - Rory Sabbatini, after winning the Colonial on Sunday. Okay, Sabbatini played very well on Sunday and took the tournament from Jim Furyk in the playoff, so kudos to Rory closing the deal. But becoming the number one player in the world by 2008? Please. I’ve said before I like his frankess (most of the time) because he’s not afraid to say what he feels, but sometimes you have to know when to shut up.
He’s got game, there’s no doubt, but he’s not in the same league as Singh, Mickelson, Els, Goosen, and those that I consider the top-tier players. It’s possible he could end up in the top-10 in the world by year’s end, but will that make him a legitimate contender for number one? Not really, but it will be interesting to watch over the summer to see how he performs in the three remaining majors.
And what’s up with Furyk? He just doesn’t look the same player from two years ago. He’s not nearly as consistent with the iron shots and his putting has become suspect. Maybe that home-made swing is starting to show some fatigue?
