Conners hasn&#8217;t won yet on the pro golf tour. His day will come. I just don&#8217;t want it to come this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>You know how I feel about Tiger Woods. He turned out to be a dirt bag of a husband. He cheated repeatedly on his wife, a <em>former Miss Sweden for criminy sakes! <\/em>She caught him cheating, kicked him out of their mansion and Woods&#8217;s career nosedived not long after that.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s had some injury, multiple surgeries, a couple of aborted comebacks.<\/p>\n<p>Woods does play with a certain panache. He is so damn fun to watch on TV. I noted in an earlier blog post that he might be &#8220;bigger than the game,&#8221; although he surely wouldn&#8217;t ever say as much out loud.<\/p>\n<p>Woods will be paired with young Corey Conners on Sunday. They&#8217;ll get to go head to head. If Corey holds up under the pressure and fends off the greatest golfer of his age, then he well could launch himself into a potentially great career in professional golf.<\/p>\n<p>If Woods&#8217;s latest comeback produces his first win in five years, that will make the Earth shake under golf&#8217;s feet.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know this sounds snobbish of me, but I want Tiger Woods to win the tournament he is playing in this week.
