Non-idiot: "As for Annika Sorenstam, she said she picked the Colonial tournament because it had a relatively short and tight course where her lack of long drives wouldn't be as much of a handicap as it would on other courses, so it seems like she might not have done as well at other tournaments. In the first round, she led the field in driving accuracy, but she putted poorly both days. From what her playing partners and the press said at the time, I had the impression that if she had played it a few years in a row, she probably would have made the cut sometimes. Regardless, she did beat some pros who also didn't make the cut, including Geoff Ogilvy, who won the U.S. Open a few years later and has won over $30m on the PGA tour. She finished only two strokes behind Sergio Garcia."
Armstrong-idiot: "Not really comparable. Women golfers don't play off the same tees as the men."
Non-idiot: "Uhhhhh...no you idiot. Everyone in a PGA tour event has to play from the same tee. This is common sense."
Armstrong-idiot: "Yeah and she didn't make the cut."
Non-idiot: "Seriously? I said that in the first post. Pros miss the cut in every PGA event - that's what a "cut" does. She beat pros. This is precisely what the OP asked."
Armstrong-idiot: "Yeah but Price said it was a publicity stunt so it doesn't count."
What a moran.
