Vijay will be on "The Apprentice" tonight.

If anyone is interested. Looks like the winning team gets to play with Vijay and The Donald at the Trump National.

It was pretty neat, but it really was just a cameo. The only thing that got a bit annoying was the winning team's (and Trump's) unending praise for Vijay as "the best and most consistent golfer in the world.

If that's the case, how come he hasn't won in 18 tournaments?

He can't

putt

He can't

Umm, he is ranked 15th on tour in putting, 1.727 And thats not skewed by missing a lot af greens because he is ranked 8th in G.I.R. 70.1%. So I don't think its the putting. If you look at his stats the only area where he seems to be lacking is in the driving where he ranks 101st in total driving. Its just a matter of time until Vijay wins, we are just so used to him winning all the time its a shock. Remember Phil didn't win until April.

it seems like they always flip to him missing 5 footers though. Didn't know the stats.

Uhm, except:

Putting Leaders measures putting performance on those holes where the green is hit in regulation (GIR). For these holes, the total putts are divided by the total holes played. By using greens hit in regulation we are able to eliminate the effects of chipping close and one putting in the computation.

Uhm, except:

Maybe skewed wasn't the correct word. What I meant is his putting rank is for real since he is hitting so many greens. Whatever now I am confusing myself. Anywho, he is ranked 50th, I believe, in Putts per round. Thats not great but its not too terribly bad. Leads me to believe that he is not getting the putts to go in if he misses the green. Chipping woes maybe?
