Don't get me wrong I love Goosen, and what makes him such a great player is the way he is honest about how his game is not up to par right now. Everytime I seem him with the press he is always saying "My game was not what it should be, and I have been playing poor." or something to that effect. He blames no one but himself which only a real man and golfer can do.
If the GC gives him props, good for them. But I still think the media doesn't nearly give him enough due. I'll steal a quote from Tiger Woods a couple months ago who said that he doesn't know why people always ignore Goosen, and Stuart Appleby before the Players said he's by far the most underrated golfer. I think on the Tour Retief gets his respect, but in the papers and on most of TV outside of the GC, he still doesn't get nearly enough.
