Not sure how or why you're saying something in my post indicates an arrogant or snobbish attitude. If you honestly feel that way, and aren't just being a dick, then a reasobable discussion with you is apparently out of the question. Cheers.

Thank you for your interpretation of that post btw, but I will wait for mcfc_nick explanation! ;)

I know I do.

C'mon, Sean.  EVERYBODY knows that Canadians in general are an arrogant, snobbish people.

Sergio is a bit of a loose cannon for sure, but way more interesting when he's in the hunt than not. He beat some decent players - let's see if he can keep it going next year.

Hello Sean, sorry for the misunderstanding, I was not referring to your post but to the other one, maybe it was not clear enough from my post!

Wow that was a difficult post to read... from what I think I understand the average American prefer Fowler over Bjorn cause Rickie is more famous in the US, and this is understandable, but we are not talking about flashy hats but strong golfers, am I right? (imho) I still don't get your point though...

Now im not saying that you do this personally but i think that there are a lot of people over there who would think that just because they arent very well known in america then they arent very good. an example id say of this is that say rickie fowler was playing, imo a lot of people would see him as adding to the field and making it stronger despite him only having 1 (kind of) win, compare him to someone like Thomas Bjorn who has won three times this year yet i believe that some over there wouldnt really see him as adding to the field. i guess what im trying to say is that mainly because most of the players last week dont compete on the PGA tour then maybe they arent as well known to a lot of people (again not saying you) and as is fair if people arent that aware of certain players they arent gonna see them as adding to the field thus seeing it as weak when in fact it was a very strong field including people like Sergio, G-Mac, Justin Rose, Kaymer, Jimenez, Bjorn, Molinari, Manassero, Larrazabal, Quiros, Fisher.

i didnt really know how to put it, so i just kept writing hahaa

pretty much though yes, the average american would see the field and see no real world stars in there, but if it was full of fowlers then imo theyd think that the field was very good

[mcfc_nick]

im not hating on rickie neither as i think he will be a very good golfer
