quote:I don't think its necessarily that people are picking him because he has one leg. I think it's because he is a short hitter. You know that on the tee if you hit a good shot then he can't equal it. Basically if you're Tyler and you're looking at who to pick, you don't have a clear cut advantage over anybody in any category except you know for sure that you're a longer hitter than Chad. Easy to forget that he's got a pretty good game inside 150 yards, I guess.
While I may not have actually ended up picking Chad because of the optics, I would have at least really wanted to deep down the first few times. It would have been the obvious choice in my mind. At this point, I wouldn't even consider it for a second...even if he was in the middle of an epic case of the shanks. I used to cringe when guys picked him...when Tyler did I just laughed and thought "Gawww, you ideeyut" (in his voice).
And after last week, I thought that Chad did a great job of hanging on, but his opponent had a good opportunity to put him away a couple times. He had some clutch plays, but I thought you could also argue that he kinda escaped as well.
